Key challenges of conventional full field models of complex reservoirs such as karstic carbonates include:
- Failure to capture field complexity shown by production data
- Difficulty in predicting discrete subdivision of the reservoir, including geometry and property change
- Difficulty in understanding well performance and lateral or vertical reservoir sweep largely controlled by lateral connectivity and vertical zonation
Our quantitative geobody modeling solution addresses these challenges by generating a reservoir model with groups of contiguous cells containing reservoir rock properties and geometric relationships using all available geologic, well, seismic and production data using our proprietary technologies. Our geobody model has the following characteristics:
- Combines both reservoir geometry and property
- Delineates discrete reservoir elements with an emphasis on connectivity
- Captures field complexity through the geometric relationships, reservoir properties and additional production data of a group of geobodies, while an individual geobody delineates internal structure and property changes of a reservoir body
- Explains well performance, reservoir sweep, and compartmentalization through the connectivity between geobodies
The key applications and benefits of our geobody characterization and modeling technology include:
- Fully identified and accurately modeled reservoirs especially for complex geobodies such as karst reservoir paleocaves, turbidite sands, channels and sheets for conventional plays or brittle rocks in unconventional plays
- Understanding of overall reservoir geometric complexity, associated multi-properties, and individual geobody features
- Optimized well planning, drilling, and production
- Increased accuracy and reliability of reserve estimates
- Effective multi-zone completions due to clarified geobodies
- And more…
