Reservoir Delineation and Characterization
摘要
This chapter delves into cutting-edge methodologies that are transforming reservoir characterization in the oil and gas industry. Key seismic inversion techniques-post-stack, pre-stack, simultaneous, and stochastic-are examined for their capability to refine subsurface models, predict fluid distribution, and improve reservoir management. The integration of multidisciplinary data into geo-cellular models is emphasized as a pivotal approach to reducing uncertainty and enhancing decision-making in field development. Advanced geostatistical techniques, including kriging and stochastic simulations, are discussed for their effectiveness in capturing subsurface complexity and improving reservoir modeling. The chapter also highlights the Petroleum Resource Management System (PRMS) framework as a critical tool for resource classification, aiding in strategic planning and economic evaluation and Storage Resources Management System (SRMS) for CO2 storage capacity and resource evaluation. In addition, this chapter explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in seismic interpretation, outlining emerging technologies and future research opportunities. It emphasizes the importance of AI in automating workflows and enhancing predictive accuracy. Despite the challenges in adopting these advanced techniques, the chapter underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration to drive innovation. Through comprehensive analysis, this chapter offers essential insights for geoscientists, engineers, and industry professionals in optimizing reservoir characterization, field development, and long-term resource management.
