Reservoir characterization as a self-discipline grew out of the popularity that extra oil and gasoline might be extracted from reservoirs if the geology of the reservoir used to be understood. ahead of that awakening, reservoir improvement and creation have been the world of the petroleum engineer. in truth, geologists of that point might have felt slighted if requested via company administration to maneuver from a thrilling exploration project to a extra mundane task operating with an engineer to enhance a reservoir's functionality. Slowly, reservoir characterization got here into its personal as a quantitative, multidisciplinary exercise requiring an enormous array of talents and information units. maybe the most important attractor to turning into a reservoir geologist used to be the appearance of speedy computing, via visualization courses and theaters, all of which permit younger geoscientists to perform their computing abilities in a hugely technical paintings surroundings. additionally, the self-discipline grew in parallel with the evolution of information integration and the appearance of asset groups within the petroleum undefined. eventually, reservoir characterization flourished with the quantum advancements that experience happened in geophysical acquisition and processing strategies and that let geophysicists to picture inner reservoir complexities.

16). The total volume and shape of the knife is analogous to a new-field discovery, in which the data are only sufficient to estimate the volume, external shape, and gross internal properties. Once the field is discovered, the different components of the knife are analogous to the different “architectural elements” and internal properties of the reservoir, because each is characterized by a different size, shape, and performance capability. Even within a mature field that contains a large number of wells and production information, the undrilled areas between the wells (the “interwell areas”) – even if they are small – represent areas of geologic uncertainty.

Acoustic properties of rock and the fluids contained in that rock also vary with frequency.

About two-thirds the distance from the left edge of the seismic line on the horizontal axis (which represents distance), these reflections are offset, indicating the presence of a thrust fault that cuts through the strata and dips toward the left.

Behind the person is a geophone attached to a cable. (B) The reflected energy captured by the geophone is recorded on a laptop computer.
