& MANAGEMENT

100

AIM:
The main of learning this subject is that student will be able understand the Basic
reservoir characterization, modeling and simulation methods used in oil industry.
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this subject is that student will be able to follow and utilize the different
concepts of reservoir modeling and characteristics and their usage.
UNIT I

(10 Hrs)

Overview of reservoir characterization and modeling problems. Reservoir mapping. 3D

modeling. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistics for geological data analysis. Pattern
recognition techniques. Petrophysical predictions from well logs. Introduction to petroleum
geostatitsics. Variograms. Kringin. Uncertanity quantification.
UNIT II

(10 Hrs)

Stochastic reservoir modeling. Sequential simulation. Gaussian simulation. Indicator

simulation. Integrating seismic attributes, well tests and production data. Constraining reservoir
models with various sources of information. Reservoir up girding and upscaling. Reservoir
simulation Investigation of petroleum reservoir characteristics and behavior, including: pore
volume, fluid distribution and movement, and recovery. The result of simulation studies include
optimized field development and management plans which maximize the value and/or reserves
of producing properties. Finite difference approximations to the diffusivity equation and the
application of those approximations for reservoir simulations. Practical use of reservoir
simulation.
UNIT III

(10 Hrs)
