Atlantis Static Connectivity Study – Predicting Compartmentalization Prior to First Oil

A019 Atlantis Static Connectivity Study – Predicting Compartmentalization Prior to First Oil J.A. Reeve* (BP) & K.F.A. Angel (BP) SUMMARY Every oil field is challenged with understanding and characterizing compartmentalization from the first exploration well to the cessation of production. This challenge is even more pronounced in regions like the Gulf of Mexico where dynamic well test data is seldom available prior to first production. Hence utilization of all available static data to predict field performance becomes essential. But how should we integrate seismic geologic models pressures and fluids in a meaningful way? The Atlantis subsurface team took on this
