Reservoir characterization

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003114

The process of integrating geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and engineering data to build a detailed understanding of a hydrocarbon reservoir. This involves defining the reservoir's geometry, internal architecture, and fluid properties. The outcome is a static and dynamic model used for reserves estimation, production forecasting, and field development planning.
