Fluvial channel and channel belt deposits are commonly represented in subsurface reservoir models using an object-based approach that stochastically places a channel facies in a background of overbank deposits. The internal heterogeneity within the channel is usually... read more

This paper reports results from a sensitivity study aimed at understanding and evaluating uncertainty in a pore-to-field workflow. A methodology to identify and quantify uncertainty at different scales and to propagate, or upscale, this information to the reservoir... read more

Two techniques of preprocessing data from core plugs have been investigated to enhance the quality of synthetic permeability estimation from conventional logs by use of artificial neural networks (ANNs). A first technique consists of “cleaning” the core-plug data set... read more

Geoscientists have often been frustrated by the arbitrary assignment of petrophysical log cut-offs to define reservoir intervals capable of hosting producible hydrocarbon. The traditional practice is to derive “pseudo-permeability” from well logs such as... read more

A method for estimation of vertical permeability in heterolithic tidal deltaic sandstones is proposed. Three-dimensional, stochastic, process-based models of sedimentary bedding are used to give estimates for the effective permeability of heterolithic tidal sandstone... read more

Heterolithic lithofacies in the Jurassic Tilje Formation, offshore mid-Norway, consist of three components – sand, silt and mud intercalated at the centimetre scale – and are generally difficult to characterize petrophysically with core and wireline data. ... read more
