From 3D Seismic Facies to Reservoir Simulation

B018 FROM 3D SEISMIC FACIES TO RESERVOIR SIMULATION Introduction 1 B. VALLÈS A. CARRILLAT L. SONNELAND Nowadays the reservoir model building workflow is mainly divided into four steps: definition of the reservoir boundaries by interpreting the top and base horizons building a geologically structural model (layering faults etc) population of properties (porosity permeabilities…) by kriging or co-kriging for instance and then upscaling the model in order to get a reservoir model. This workflow requires a lot of manual efforts in particular the building of a structural model (Figure 1). The method described herein proposes a new approach that automates part
