SPE- DL talk: Improving Reservoir Simulation Modeling with Seismic Attributes

When:  Mar 13, 2017 from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM (ET)

Abstract:

Seismic attributes are being used more and more often in the reservoir characterization and interpretation processes. The new software and computer’s development allows today to generate a large number of surface and volume attributes. They proved to be very useful for the facies and reservoir properties distribution in the geological models, helping to improve their quality in the areas between the wells and areas without wells.

The seismic attributes can help to better understand the stratigraphic and structural features, the sedimentation processes, lithology variations, etc. By improving the static geological models, the dynamic models are also improved, helping to better understand the reservoirs’ behavior during exploitation.

As a result, the estimation of the recoverable hydrocarbon volumes becomes more reliable and the development strategies will become more successful.
