The Unified Modeling project was conducted in two phases with phase I being the construction of the structural and
stratigraphic
model
of the three Bu Hasa reservoirs. The main objectives of phase I are:
1- Construct a consistent unified structural framework across all Bu Hasa reservoirs to avoid overlap between them since the existing models were built independently.
2- Incorporate revised seismic
interpretation (surfaces and faults) based on
seismic
inversion.
3- Use of a common seismic
depth conversion method and a single integrated interpretation for all three reservoirs.
During phase I, a consistent set of structural definition are used for all three reservoirs ensuring that no more structural
overlap is observed between any surfaces. In addition to this, a unified 3D structural (surfaces and faults) and stratigraphic
model
and a common 3D grid for all three Bu Hasa reservoirs were also constructed.
In phase II, properties model
was constructed for all three reservoirs. The main objectives of Phase II are:
Reservoir A: Build new refined facies and petrophysical properties model
using the new petrophysical interpretation, build
simulation 3D grid and upscale properties.
Reservoir B: Re-model
facies and petrophysical properties, Build simulation 3D grid and upscale properties.
Reservoir C: Re-build facies and petrophysical properties model
, incorporate Integrated I Dense Study
(Thickness/distribution), incorporate new data from Full Field Petrophysical Study (FFPS), build simulation 3D grid and
upscale properties.
This project has developed a methodology to integrate the lithofacies properties into the sequence stratigraphy framework.
The seismic
inversion (porosity cube) has also been used to constraint the modeling process.
