Abstract
Discipline-integration within the petroleum industry during the past 10 years has changed the way in which geoscientists interact with reservoir engineers. Geoscientists have been forced from providing reservoir engineers with conceptual geological models to providing data-based, quantitative reservoir models which can address questions such as "how big is the container?", " how will this reservoir style perform?", "how widely must we space our expensive development wells in this geologic setting?", and "should we drill a vertical, slant, or horizontal well?
