SBED™ Biogenic Structure Modeling accurately simulates the activities of burrowing organisms on reservoir facies at the lamina scale and estimates their effects on petrophysical properties using flow-based upscaling. Bioturbation within a substrate can add to... read more

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

Braided fluvial reservoirs can host significant volumes of hydro-carbons, being high net/gross ratio, and are often considered to be relatively easy to characterize. But this is not always the case, as confirmed in a recent study conducted by Houston-based reservoir... 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

Modeling of small-scale bedding geometries improves recovery estimates in Norwegian oil fields, yielding added value of at least 16 million barrels. Demands for improved oil recovery prompted the Norwegian oil company, Statoil, to evaluate geologically complex oil and... read more

Production from the Halten Terrace hydrocarbon province (Mid-Norwegian shelf) is mainly from heterolithic siliciclastic successions as well as diagenetically altered sandstones. Eight hydrocarbon fields are currently in production, which produce c. 840 000 BBL oil... read more
