Introduction
• Quad 9 block – Gryphon field producing since 1993
• > 100 well penetrations in Gryphon
• Modelling area - 26 km2
• Main purpose of model – development opportunities for the gas cap
Aims of modelling
• Fit for purpose model, focussed on gas
• Define Gas Volumes and Uncertainty
• Suitable for dynamic modelling
• Incorporated as much determinism in the model as possible despite difficult geological geometries
• Repeatable and easy to update model (New seismic in 2012 and ongoing drilling)

Example; • Consider a point with a measured amplitude of -0.80 • Evaluate sand probability in gas leg, oil leg & aquifer
Assume; • Sand prob at low amp threshold S1 = 0.2 • Sand prob at high amp threshold S2 = 1.0
Gas Leg; Ax = -0.8 Low amplitude threshold A1 = -0.50 High amplitude threshold A2 = -2.40 Sand Probability = 0.33 Oil Leg; Ax = -0.8 Low amplitude threshold A1 = -0.30 High amplitude threshold A2 = -1.35 Sand Probability = 0.58 Aquifer; Ax = -0.8 Low amplitude threshold A1 = -0.20 High amplitude threshold A2 = -0.93 Sand Probability = 0.86

Conclusions
• Modelling objectives – work in progress
• Direct incorporation of seismic into geological model to capture
complex geological geometries
• De-fluidising the seismic response
• Repeatable G&G workflow
• Incorporated as much determinism in the model as possible
• Probability method used to resolve issues faced in previous
model builds
• Simple fit for purpose model which is easily updateable and repeatable as required
