Objectives of your company
After the discovery of a new reservoir, the goal is to set up a field development
project that will attempt to optimize hydrocarbons recovery as part of an
overall economic policy.
During the reservoir’s life, the company will continue to study its behavior
throughout the life of the field to determine the information required for
optimal production.
The proper way goes through the reservoir model. The right man is the
Reservoir Engineer
The optimal profitability of a project requires the knowledge of the
hydrocarbons in place, the recoverable reserves (estimated on the basis of
several alternative production methods) and the wells potential productivity.
The proper way goes through the geological model. The right man is the
Reservoir Geologist
A good reservoir model integrates geological constraints
These activities are based on digital reservoir modeling
The aim of these predictions is to dimension the future
production facilities, check-up economical interest of the field,
optimize the development scheme and establish a long term
development plan.
Evaluation of production forecasts through the knowledge of
Oil/Gas/Water production, the evolution of reservoir pressure
and the management of the field operations (number of wells,
water and gas injection, type of production method).

Integrated reservoir studies: Objectives
Why performing an integrated field study ?
• To calculate hydrocarbon accumulation in a reservoir
• To estimate reserves and predict production
• To optimize field development
• To evaluate the relative impact of uncertainties
• To understand the reservoir heterogeneities’ impact on its dynamic
behavior
• To integrate geologic and dynamic constraints
• To develop a global understanding of integrated reservoirs studies
Cellular models are built to reach previous objectives, i.e :

CELLULAR MODELS
The reservoir geologist verify data coherence during the modeling phase.
He must work with all actors of the study.

Definition of a cellular model
We need a cellular model:
to understand the complexity of reality
to quantify reality
A CELLULAR MODEL IS :
a schematic description of a reservoir that
represents its properties
Correlations, layering
Facies variation
Petrophysics
Drains, barriers

Reservoir model : The key for hydrocarbon production
For optimal field development… …the key for success is:
…the reservoir model !

Reservoir model: Definition
A reservoir model is a gridded model which allows to manage and properly represent:
• Key heterogeneities (main flow units)
• Lithofacies and petrophysical properties distribution consistency
The objective of a reservoir model is :
NOT to predict what we should find in the reservoir…
TO ANTICIPATE ITS DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR
(match and predict)
…BUT ….

Dynamic simulation to reduce reserve uncertainties
Capex: Capital expenditure
Opex: Operational expenditure
NEED FOR STRONG INTEGRATION BETWEEN GEO DISCIPLINES
SPECIALISTS (Geophysicists, Geologists, Reservoirs engineers)
A reliable geological model takes into account dynamic data:
• Location of the main faults which impact fluid flow (barrier or
conductive faults)
• Stratigraphic barriers, if stacked or multiple reservoirs
• fluid-flow simulation is more realistic and reliable
A good reservoir model is strongly constrained with the geological
model:

** Geological model = Geomodel = Geocellular model = Static model
* Reservoir model = Dynamic model
• integrates reservoir geometry and petrophysical properties
• takes into account dynamic information
• provides key heterogeneity modeling
The geomodel** represents one of the most important phases in
the workflow of an integrated reservoir study, because it:
• well production
• fluid displacements inside the reservoir
• pressure evolution
The reservoir model* construction is the main objective of an
integrated reservoir study. This model is used to simulate the
evolution of a field throughout time for:
General contexte – Key points
Details in excess is not a guaranty of precision or accuracy
• Uncertainties are additive!
• Restrict the number of facies
Only model the relevant faults that can impact the reservoir, i.e.:
• Fault with a significant impact on reservoir dynamic
• Fault with throw greater than flow unit thickness
