Reservoir Modeling and Data Integration

Course Description

In this course, concepts and the methodologies of integration in geological modeling will be addressed with practical applications. Integration includes incorporation of geological information, seismic, petrophysical and dynamic data. Practical methodology of the best practices and troubleshooting of 3D reservoir characterization in the light of geo-statistics will be covered in each step of geo-modeling processes. Process of data handling, importing, editing, quality controlling, quantitative analysis and constraining the results of modeling algorithms in the steps of picking, fault modeling, gridding, generating horizons, zoning, layering and property modeling are discıssed by using different tools and plots.
