ReservoirStudio for Petrel



ReservoirStudio™ for Petrel* provides advanced geologic modeling capabilities for complex depositional environments. With its unique sedimentary process-oriented modeling, ReservoirStudio generates highresolution reservoir models with greater stratigraphic detail than conventional geocellular models. With built-in sedimentological rules, ReservoirStudio is able to produce realistic geologic models which are beyond the capability of conventional applications. ReservoirStudio for Petrel is an Ocean* plug-in that fully integrates with the Petrel environment, enabling users to seamlessly leverage its advanced modeling features in a single workspace.

REALISTIC GEOLOGY
ReservoirStudio for Petrel generates geologically accurate models for more realistic reservoir simulations and uncertainty estimates. ReservoirStudio models the internal stratigraphic layering and lithofacies relationships observed in depositional environments such as accretionary channel infill, channel levee, turbidite channel and lobe complexes. By modeling stratigraphic features observed below the scale of seismic resolution, ReservoirStudio incorporates the effects of small-scale geological heterogeneity on fluid flow. The result is improved property distributions and model accuracy in Petrel.

DEFINE IN PETREL, THEN REFINE IN RESERVOIRSTUDIO
ReservoirStudio for Petrel is designed to operate directly within a reservoir model framework created in Petrel. ReservoirStudio reads and refines Petrel grids and Petrel objects using geological rules to model the details of channel infill, channel levee, channel lobe, bar-forms and background sediment as stratigraphic grids.
Litho-objects, such as mud, sand, and silt can be simulated within stratigraphic grids, along with their corresponding facies proportions. The resulting grids and property models in Petrel are more realistic, enabling improved accuracy in reservoir performance prediction. By including barriers to fluid flow such as boundary layer muds and channel abandonment facies in the range of possible scenarios, ReservoirStudio becomes an important addition to risk assessment workflows.

Given a choice, oil and gas geoscientists would surely love an opportunity to peel back the layers of earth covering their buried reservoirs to steal a peek at their inner workings. But given that's not feasible, a Calgary company is providing the next best thing.
