Abstract
A method, apparatus, and program product determine an effective trap size for reservoir traps of an oil and gas reservoir. Geological data is analyzed to determine structural spill points. Based on the structural spill points and the geological data reservoir traps are identified. An effective trap size for at least some of the reservoir traps of the reservoir is determined based on the structural spill points and the geological data.
Claims20
A method for modeling an oil and gas reservoir, the method comprising:
- receiving geological data associated with a reservoir;
- identifying, with at least one processor, a plurality of structural spill points for the reservoir based at least in part on the geological data;
- identifying a plurality of reservoir traps for the reservoir based at least in part on at least a portion of the identified structural spill points;
- and
- determining an effective trap size associated with the reservoir based at least in part on at least a portion of the identified reservoir traps and structural spill points.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- program code configured to be executed by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to receive geological data associated with a reservoir, identify structural spill points for the reservoir based at least in part on the geological data, identify at least one reservoir trap for the reservoir based at least in part on the structural spill points, and determine an effective trap size associated with the reservoir based at least in part on the at least one reservoir traps and the structural spill points.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer readable medium;
- and
- program code stored on the computer readable medium and configured upon execution by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to receive geological data associated with a reservoir, identify structural spill points for the reservoir based at least in part on the geological data, identify at least one reservoir trap for the reservoir based at least in part on the structural spill points, and determine an effective trap size associated with the reservoir based at least in part on the at least one reservoir traps and the structural spill points.
