About this Workshop
Workshop Description
Modeling of oil and gas plays a key role in reservoir description and in the understanding of the fluid flow in the reservoir. Nowadays, the hydrocarbon reserve estimation and development planning are carried out by constructing static and dynamic models. The modeling process includes several stages: geophysics, geology, petrophysics and reservoir engineering. Traditionally, each stage is performed sequentially with a linear knowledge transform between the various stages. This conveyor belt-like approach sometimes exhibits problems such as inconsistencies in the objectives, loose feedback loops, upscaling and ignoring of different modeling resolutions. This can result in inconsistent static and dynamic models that eventually affect the data credibility and, most importantly, the predictability of the model. Thus, the oil and gas industry needs to further improve integrating modeling processes by improving the process and selecting the appropriate strategy, as well as modifying the organizations involved and implementing the right approach to training.
