Static Reservoir Modelling

By Rajdeep Buragohain

Static Model of Reservoir

Static Model or Integrated Geological Model is developed incorporating Lithological, Structural, Stratigraphic and Petrophysical informations.

It is essential to model the reservoir as accurately as possible in order to calculate the reserves and to determine the most effective way of recovering as much of the petroleum economically as possible .

The 3D visualization of the subsurface enhances understanding of reservoir heterogeneities and helps to improve recovery rates

The advances in computational technology, modern reservoir models can accommodate increasingly detailed 3D data that illustrate the spatial distribution of reservoir properties. Subsurface reservoir characterization typically incorporates well data augmented with seismic data to establish the geological model of the reservoir.
