Reservoir characterization: a new CAD approach

@inproceedings{WietzerbinRM1993a,
 abstract = { This paper presents a new formalism for generating and interpolating complex reservoir shapes in 3D. It combines the integration of quantitative knowledge about the shapes of the geological bodies being modeled and the generation of a large range of possible geometries corresponding to this knowledge. It is a new CAD approach based on the interpolation method called Discrete Smooth Interpolator in the literature, abbreviated DSI . This method is applied to the geometrical modeling of part of a complex turbiditic reservoir. Channels and lobes accounting for most of the production, their geometries are critical factors for oi! recovery. Data input are welliogs on one hand, statistics about the shapes of main reservoir heterogeneities on a second hand and three dimensional templates representing their "most likely" shape on a third hand. The geometrical characterization of this field is performed through stochastic modeling. The method used involves a boolean approach based on indicator components and stresses the honouring of weil data. },
