Rapid Reservoir Modeling with Automated Tops Correlation

摘要

In unconventional resource plays, constructing a sound geological model that ties various well information is imperative for properly extracting and integrating well and seismic information and for predictive and prescriptive analytic workflows. Unlike conventional plays, unconventional plays that span basins have potentially tens of thousands of wells. Constructing geological models to include all wells and then updating them as additional ones become available can be a daunting task. When constructing large cross sections, regional stratigraphic patterns are easily discernible visually. Converting these geologic events and spatial patterns to digital information using the power of the computer and new machine learning techniques is becoming more important than ever as geoscientists attempt to “keep up” with all this information. This paper will cover a modern technology toward that end.
