Abstract
Summary
Static models have been used for many decades in the oil industry and with the right amount of data and expertise they can be used to great effect, key tools in helping geoscientists understand and maximise the efficiency of reservoirs. However what happens when that data available is incomplete or missing? How can viable static models be generated for older wells, where relevant data may only be recorded in hand drawn maps and paper logs? Is it possible to construct accurate and reliable 3D models that can be used successfully?
This article aims to show that these challenges can be overcome and a good model can be built if there is a clear principle objective in mind for what that model needs to achieve, alongside a good sound understanding of geology. In order to generate the 3D model for Zeme Field, information from, outcrops, old paper logs, well reports, neighbouring fields, production data, pressure data, core data as well as some articles was all taken into account. In addition to this, having a clear understanding of the procedure in terms of model construction and using relevant software is of key importance to avoid inaccurate results in the process.
