Abstract

Whereas it used to be commonly perceived that oil and gas reservoirs were relatively simple geologic features, the reality most times is that they are quite complex and can be subdivided into architectural elements or compartments on the basis of several structural and stratigraphic features which may include faults, shale encasements and stratigraphic pinchouts. Thus, reservoirs typically consist of a number of components or architectural elements, that could individually control the volume of hydrocarbons present and the production behaviour of the reservoir. These architectural elements define the size, geometry, orientation, lateral continuity and vertical connectivity of reservoir as well as reservoir quality. The purpose of the project therefore is to identify, map, and delineate these structures in the reservoir by generating and interpretation of faults, horizons, net to gross map of the reservoir, and porosity map of the reservoir. These will eventually yield a static model whic will be used to determing reservoir compartmentalisation and also ascertain reservoir thickness.
