Reservoir Architecture of a Barrier-Type Oil Field Explained by Process-Response Modelling

L-17 RESERVOIR ARCHITECTURE OF A BARRIER- TYPE OIL FIELD EXPLAINED BY PROCESS- RESPONSE MODELLING LUC J.H. ALBERTS and CEES R. GEEL Summary 1 A numerical model that simulates processes responsible for sediment distribution in coastal areas was applied to the Lower Cretaceous Rijn Field West Netherlands Basin. A reconstructed sealevel curve and characterisation of the paleotopography of the region enabled a representative input for the model. Synthetic well logs were generated and compared to the measured well logs and showed generally a good match where the larger differences can be explained by specific geological characteristics that were not accounted for
