The Concept of Right Modelling: Toward a More Efficient Use of the Reservoir Modelling Tool

The right modelling concept responds to the challenge of building better reservoir models that address the technical need and support the business decision. When following the right modelling approach, the reservoir modelling tool is used in a more efficient way. Complexities are introduced only if required and supported by strong evidences. Following the right modelling guidelines helps to find the best compromise between framing the reservoir (accuracy) and generating an acceptable range of solutions (precision). The risks of under modelling (not tackling the technical need in a robust way) or over modelling (losing the technical relevance by being too narrow) the reservoir are minimized.
