Reservoir Model Design (eBook, PDF)

A Practitioner's Guide

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book gives practical advice and ready to use tips on the design and construction of subsurface reservoir models. The design elements cover rock architecture, petrophysical property modelling, multi-scale data integration, upscaling and uncertainty analysis. Philip Ringrose and Mark Bentley share their experience, gained from over a hundred reservoir modelling studies in 25 countries covering clastic, carbonate and fractured reservoir types. The intimate relationship between geology and fluid flow is explored throughout, showing how the impact of fluid type, production mechanism and the subtleties of single- and multi-phase flow combine to influence reservoir model design.

Audience: The main audience for this book is the community of applied geoscientists and engineers involved in the development and use of subsurface fluid resources. The book is suitable for a range of Master's level courses in reservoir characterisation, modelling and engineering.

· Provides practical advice and guidelines for users of 3D reservoir modelling packages

· Gives advice on reservoir model design for the growing world-wide activity in subsurface reservoir modelling

· Covers rock modelling, property modelling, upscaling and uncertainty handling

· Encompasses clastic, carbonate and fractured reservoirs

Autorenporträt

Philip Ringrose has worked as a geoscientist for over 30 years on many aspects of the design and construction of fluid flow models of geological reservoir systems, both for environmental applications (groundwater and CO 2 storage) and for petroleum reservoir field development. He is currently at the Equinor Research Centre in Trondheim, Norway, and Adjunct Professor at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway. In 2018 he was appointed Honorary Professor in Sustainable Geoenergy at the University of Edinburgh, School of Geosciences. He holds Bachelor and Doctorate degrees in Geology (Edinburgh and Strathclyde) and has published widely on flow in rock media. Mark Bentley is a geoscientist with 30 years' experience in the oil and gas business. He worked for 11 years as a production geologist for Shell in the UK, Oman and the Netherlands and has subsequently worked as a geoscientist consulting and training internationally with TRACS, based in Aberdeen, Scotland. He has been building reservoir models since 1993 and has a particular interest in the expression of subsurface uncertainty through reservoir modelling. He holds Bachelor and Doctorate degrees in geology and structural geology from the University of Wales and since 2018 has been an Associate Professor in the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.
