3D/4D Reservoir Petrophysical Modelling
Faster, cheaper and more accurate than current industry methods
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Innovative Reservoir Petrophysical Modelling is faster, cheaper and more accurate than current industry methods using averages, stochastic and conceptual models. The process is calibrated to existing well(s) and blind tested against new or existing wells to validate the model. No other process does this. Hydrocarbon In-place and ultimate production volumes can be determined enabling flushed and virgin hydrocarbon zones to be identified.
Pros & Limitations
1
Innovative Reservoir Petrophysical Modelling is faster (2-4 weeks not 6 months), cheaper and more accurate (less uncertainty) than current industry methods
1
The reservoir Petrophysical properties are calculated and constrained/referenced to the 3D seismic trace/impedance | This removes cognitive/conceptual biasing
1
Science, physics and mathematical relationships are used rather than conceptual/statistical models based upon averages | This increases accuracy
1
Blind test predictions with new or existing well(s) | This validates the model
1
The additional 4D Seismic imbibition methodology is used to determine producible volumes and identify areas of flush and virgin hydrocarbons in producing fields
0
Property prediction is limited by the Seismic survey area
