Cross-discipline integration in reservoir modeling
A new technique has been developed to model 3D permeability distribution. The technique integrates all available data into a fluid-flow simulation model. The integrated-modeling process honors the essential aspects of established reservoir descriptions as well as the geological-facies model and engineering data. Data integration of the fluid-flow simulation improved the accuracy of the resulting well-performance predictions and decreased the time required for reservoir model history matching.
