Modeling
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002409
The process of creating a simplified representation of a complex geological system or reservoir to understand its behavior. This involves using mathematical equations and computational algorithms to simulate fluid flow, rock properties, or seismic responses. Reservoir models are constructed using data from wells, seismic surveys, and core analyses to predict hydrocarbon production.
