Combined Reservoir Characterization and Modeling

A014 COMBINED RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING Summary 1 Often the ultimate goal of G&G exploration efforts is final integration of all knowledge regarding a field into a dynamic reservoir model. Geophysical geological and engineering data are incorporated in a subsurface flow-properties model. The model is matched to production history and used for forecasting and economic evaluation. This model is traditionally constructed after the main reservoir characterization stage and little interaction is undertaken or even feasible between the property modeling and the geocellular modeling. This paper presents a combined reservoir characterization and modeling workflow for a producing field in the southern
