Special Focus
Emerging technologies such as time-lapse 3-D (4-D) and multidisciplinary E&P software call for integration by geophysical workstation
Time-lapse seismic, well logs, static/ dynamic production data, reservoir and fluid-flow simulation are combined to analyze drainage patterns
Case history from a multi-survey project in the UK North Sea shows how overlapping surveys with different geometries were successfully merged
How a technical partner and a West Africa operator applied an integrated exploration program, from seismic acquisition to multiwell drilling
Gulf of Mexico case history shows how extrapolating between two well-defined seismic surfaces can reveal important reservoir details
Features
Petrobras researchers overview the in-house developed simulator which analyzes downhole valve performance and identifies problem sources
Part 6 – Five completion scenarios are illustrated and discussed to show options designed to handle the field's highly unconsolidated reservoirs
