文摘

Integration among geophysics, geology, reservoir engineering, geochemists, geomechanics and management is truly essential, but needs some specific approaches and methodologies for developing and calibrating a study model capable of dealing with all and each of these aspects. The ability for a multitask project team to easily search, modify, visualize and/or analyze a multidisciplinary study results in a quick, responsive and easily comprehendible manner is still a problem of the petroleum industry. In this work, various modeling workflows were examined so as to highlight unavoidable interdependencies between these multidisciplinary specialists in the process of oil and/or gas reservoir studies. The traditional multidisciplinary working methods which were hitherto available are examined and some lapses identified. An optimized integrated study approach was further proposed. The optimized integrated approach is expected to have tremendous advantages in terms of improving the quality as well as flexibility of oil and gas reservoir studies, a working time reduction, and is expected to serve as a single final approach that can be adapted or used to tackle reservoir study problems.
