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.

Modelling of
Reservoir Parameter

Distribution of Petrophysical
parameters is carried out
directly in the 3D space of the
reservoir, starting from well
profiles

The distribution is
implemented on the basis of the
