Reservoir characterization model

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003115

A digital representation of a subsurface reservoir that integrates geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and engineering data to describe its properties. The model quantifies attributes such as porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, and rock type throughout the reservoir volume, providing a basis for estimating hydrocarbons in place. This static model is built using software platforms that combine seismic interpretations, well log data, and core analysis to create a three-dimensional grid of cell properties.
