The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding of how to perform Facies and Petrophysical modeling in Petrel. The target is to use all geological information available to build a realistic property model. Property modeling is the process of filling the grid cells with discrete or continuous properties.

In this project, a 3D geological (static) model of a sample petroleum reservoir will be built. All steps will be shown in detail with screen shots of the necessary figures. The software to be used is Petrel, which is a product of Schlumberger, used to build 3D geological models of petroleum reservoirs. The project is divided in chapters as indicated in the Petrel Workflow Tools. After some modifications and enhancements to the Petrel Workflow, the chapters will be presented as follows:

1. Introduction
2. Data Import
3. Input Data Editing
4. Well Correlation
5. Fault Modeling
6. Pillar Gridding
7. Vertical Layering
8. Geometrical Property Modeling
9. Upscaling in the Vertical Direction-Well Logs Upscaling
10. Facies Modeling
11. Petrophysical Modeling
12. Defining Fluid Contacts
13. Volume Calculation

For old school geologist.

Schlumberger PIPESIM обеспечивает моделирование установившегося многофазного потока для нефтегазодобывающих систем. Отдельные модули Schlumberger PIPESIM используются для большого числа аналитических исследований, таких как: моделирование скважины, оптимизация механизированной добычи, моделирование трубопроводов и технологического оборудования, планирование разработки месторождения. Schlumberger PIPESIM - набор модулей моделирования с применением передовых средств для разработки, проектирования и эксплуатации скважин, трубопроводов, промысловых объектов и сетей. Модули интегрированы таким образом, чтобы можно было построить полную модель системы добычи, начиная с месторождения и заканчивая центральным пунктом сбора, со специальными модулями по оптимизации работ в масштабе всего месторождения и по планированию разработки месторождения. Schlumberger PIPESIM является частью решения по интегрированному моделированию месторождений Avocet Integrated Asset Modeler (Avocet IAM), позволяющего интегрировать модели залежи, скважин и промыслового оборудования, систему сбора, подготовки, переработки и финансово-экономическую модель в единую систему управления добывающим активом.

Petrel is an integrated software solution that enables you to solve all your subsurface challenges - from seismic interpretation through reservoir simulation. Petrel eliminates the communication problems that exist between different software packages and associated technical disciplines. All work processes in Petrel contribute to developing and refining the same volumetric earth model, static to dynamic. The common environment and workflow automatically captures your knowledge as your work progresses. This eliminates the information mismatch or information loss that is common when using individual applications. Now you can easily integrate new data, rapidly updating earth models and lowering your overall E&P risk. 

Symmetry, a process software platform, is a comprehensive simulator that captures all aspects of your models from reservoir to product distribution. The Symmetry platform is built using VMG’s industry proven simulation technologies that have been optimized to scale to your engineering needs. The Symmetry platform uniquely integrates the modeling of fields, pipe networks, process plants and flare systems, providing an unprecedented level of collaboration. The Symmetry platform is designed with flexibility in mind. It can be used to model a specific application or to create a comprehensive model that may span from the field through different types of facilities. Everything using a consistent thermodynamic engine. If you are a VMGSim user you will feel right at home since the Symmetry platform builds upon familiar workflows and a powerful core of process simulation technology that comes from VMGSim.

• Integrated Conceptual and Numerical Groundwater Modeling.
• Powerful 2D and 3D Visualization Capabilities.
• Intuitive and Easy-to-Use.

VMGSim is used around the world to model existing processes and to design new facilities from the ground up. With over 20,000 chemicals, more than 80 thermodynamic property packages and hundreds of unit operations, VMGSim provides unparalleled model sophistication and precision, giving you more time to solve processing challenges creatively. As a result, you'll find innovative ways to increase the value of your product while reducing your operating costs and wasted material. Let VMGSim be like your own engineering advisor: propagating information, anticipating your questions, and suggesting effective methods for model development and exploration. Better still, it builds your models based on rigorous thermodynamic relationships and needs only the information absolutely required to do so, saving you time and processing power.

Experiment with different equipment configurations in your simulation models to see the effects of changes to the whole system instantly and economically. VMGSim does this by instantly calculating process changes, intelligently propagating information, and continually monitoring degrees of freedom when you modify any unit operation parameters or process conditions.

Model your plants using a relatively small number of inputs because VMGSim can extract only the most useful information from your data. That information is then spread throughout your flowsheet automatically, allowing you to develop creative solutions to extremely difficult problems you may not be able to easily solve using traditional sequential simulators. VMGSim tracks all of your data inputs, making it possible to immediately see what was added to the system and the result. The bi-directional information propagation capability also eliminates the need for artificial recycle blocks and simultaneous convergence of recycles and controllers throughout your flowsheet.

VMGSim is a true Gibbs-based simulator that is capable of monitoring each variable’s state and its thermodynamic significance. By means of the Gibbs phase rule, with enough degrees of freedom fulfilled, calculations are automatically completed and the results transmitted throughout your flowsheet. Simulations are automatically recalculated every time you change the value of a variable without the need for special estimates. You can now concentrate on understanding your process while VMGSim handles the math.
