There is an insatiable thirst for oil and gas consumption and increased production will be made possible only through effective reservoir characterization and modeling. A suite of wire-line logs for four wells from ‘DEL’ oil field together with 3D seismic data were analyzed for reservoir characterization of the field. Two reservoirs were identified using the resistivity log. A synthetic seismogram was generated in order to perform seismic to well tie process as well as picking of horizons throughout the section. Time and depth structural maps were generated. Geostatistical simulation such as the sequential Gaussian stimulation and sequential indicator stimulation were carried out to provide equiprobable representations of the reservoirs, and the distribution of reservoir properties within the geological cells. The modeled reservoir properties resulted in an improved descri.. View More»
