SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book explains key technologies, concepts, methods, and terminology allowing readers to appreciate the interpretations and contribute to building reservoir characterization models that improve resource definition and recovery. It focuses on critical areas, including modeling the reservoir unit, predicting well behavior, understanding past reservoir performance and forecasting future reservoir performance. Features: overview of the methods for analyzing, characterizing and developing real reservoirs; explains different methodologies and types and sources of data required to characterize, forecast and simulate a reservoir; explains data gathering methods needed to characterize, forecast, and simulate a reservoir; provides fundamental background to analyze, characterize and develop real reservoirs in the most complex depositional environments; presents an approach for building a one, two or three-dimensional representation of all reservoir types. --
