3D Geomechanical Modeling of a Faulted Oil Field

P609 3D GEOMECHANICAL MODELING OF A FAULTED OIL FIELD SUMMARY The 3D technique of geomechanical modeling and paleogeomechanical restoration is presented. As compared to 2D version developed recently it allows a more comprehensive characterization of reservoir tectonics as well as spatial distribution of the zones of intense fracturing and their evolution in geologic time. Implementation of the technique on a series of oil fields in the Northern Priob’e (West Siberia Russia) along with AVO analysis and basin modeling has provided for better understanding of the oil accumulation origin and helped delineate the most productive part of the oil reservoir more
