    Accurate Lithology and Porosity

    Prediction in a Heterogeneous
    Carbonate Reservoir

    Clear Objective
    ADCOs objective in the development of one of their heterogeneous carbonate
    reservoirs is better placement of wells to optimize recovery rates whilst minimizing
    overall drilling costs. To achieve this a high-resolution reservoir model that defines
    the lateral and vertical distribution of porosity within the reservoir is essential.
    Conventional interpretation of the 3D seismic reflection data can not successfully
    delineate the different porosity sub-zones within the reservoir.

    Solid Implementation
    Together, ADCO and Jason applied Jasons StatMod technology for seismic driven
    geostatistical modeling and inversion to create high-resolution 3D reservoir
    models. Generation of the models in RESCUE format supports transfer to upscaling
    and reservoir simulation applications.
    A quantitative differentiation was made between porous, less porous, and tight
    carbonates. Porosity within each reservoir sub-zone was modeled. The lithology
    predictions and distribution of porosity within each sub-reservoir, both vertical and
    lateral, were validated by blind well testing.

    Drilling Result Confirms Accurate Prediction


    The first well drilled based on the results clearly demonstrates the predictive
    capability of the Jason StatMod models. The thickness of each sub-reservoir unit
    (~ 7 m thick), the porosity distribution within these units, and the position of the
    tight carbonates were all predicted accurately.
    ADCO is now using these models for further field development well planning.
