By using integrated software applications and workflows that cross disciplines, asset teams can understand complex reservoirs better and faster.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Fault_modeling_New_techniques_improve_reservoir_description_while_reducing_risk/b61ebda7.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Fault_modeling_New_techniques_improve_reservoir_description_while_reducing_risk/b61ebda7.aspxSat, 13 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT The installation of a permanent seismic array in the Norwegian Valhall field enables the operator to run frequent 4D re-shoots, and the amount of oil to be recovered may increase substantially by managing the reservoir better.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Breakthrough_for_repeated_seismic/d0249c5f.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Breakthrough_for_repeated_seismic/d0249c5f.aspxSat, 13 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT By introducing the concept of fault facies, a new research project aims to arrive at a more realistic way of representing faults and fault properties in the subsurface. The result is expected to improve our understanding of reservoir behaviour and thus improved recovery. http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Understanding_fault_facies_improves_reservoir_modeling/b03adddf.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Understanding_fault_facies_improves_reservoir_modeling/b03adddf.aspxFri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Reservoir modelling and reservoir simulation are based on data collected at multiple scales with resolution ranging from sub-millimetre to tens of metres. New software using knowledge of the geological processes forming the reservoir rock now makes it possible to generate more accurate reservoir models, thereby improving prediction of both production profiles and reservoir volumes.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Introducing_geological_processes_in_reservoir_models/9193deb1.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Introducing_geological_processes_in_reservoir_models/9193deb1.aspxFri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT AVO analysis provides the geologists with a powerful tool that give information about pore fluids, lithologies and reservoir pressures. However, AVO signatures can easily be misinterpreted without a proper feasibility study.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/AVO_responses_The_good_the_bad_and_the_evil/f1525e30.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/AVO_responses_The_good_the_bad_and_the_evil/f1525e30.aspxFri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT Highly permeable sand bodies injected into low permeability shales may provide additional reserves to existing discoveries and fields if properly recognized. Such sandstones, a product of postdepositional remobilisation, may also constitute exploration targets in their own right when thick and laterally continuous. Improved understanding and detection of sand injectites has – in fact – led to a recent discovery.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Sand_intrusions_reveal_increased_reserves/036da8ea.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Sand_intrusions_reveal_increased_reserves/036da8ea.aspxFri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT History-matching of reservoir simulation models,meaning adjusting and optimising the simulation model based on observed production data, has been a complex and time consuming task for the industry for years.http://www.geoexpro.com/article/Managing_the_future/2d795c18.aspxhttp://www.geoexpro.com/article/Managing_the_future/2d795c18.aspxThu, 11 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT
