Incorporating Seismic Characterization Results into Bul Hanine Geological Model

Bul Hanine field is located offshore Qatar with primary oil<br>production from the Reservoir-X carbonates. In 2005 and<br>2006, Qatar Petroleum recognized that future development of<br>this mature field would require a modern, state of the art,<br>reservoir model, and initiated several projects to achieve that<br>goal: reprocessing and elastic inversion of the 1995 vintage<br>3D seismic, petrophysical data collection and analysis, and<br>comprehensive reservoir characterization. This paper<br>illustrates how Qatar Petroleum, with contractual assistance<br>from PGS, Total and Beicip-Franlab, has applied advanced<br>reservoir characterization techniques to constrain<br>petrophysical property distribution using elastic inversion<br>products and therein reducing uncertainty in a reservoir model.
