JW-425 Geostatistical Seismic Reservoir Property Modeling

Audience

This course is suitable for geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers who are looking to develop skills in using seismic data in reservoir modelling and how to interpret and analyze geostatistical inversion results.

Content

The course begins with an overview of geostatistical inversion in the context of geocellular grids and then proceeds with lectures and exercises on modeling geological trends and fluid contacts and inverting directly for engineering properties. Be able to rank, upscale and transfer engineering properties onto a geocellular grid required for flow simulation.

Learning Objectives

Learn various geostatistical principles such as multivariate distributions and variograms for partial stack geostatistical inversion. Generate engineering properties for subsequent usage in flow simulation. Special emphasis is placed on integrating more geological constraints into reservoir models, particularly in terms of imposing prior facies distributions and including rock physics models to link engineering properties to seismic data.
