Improving the Accuracy of Hydrocarbon Reserves Estimation Based on an Integrated Approach

Abstract

The paper presents an integrated approach to computer modeling of hydrocarbon deposits, as well as the results of its application in oil volume calculation. Such approach involves all available information, as well as visual analytics, and allows to get a more accurate and reliable distribution of parameters in the volume of the three-dimensional computer model of hydrocarbon deposit due to its adjustment based on actual (historical) information about the operation of the oil field. The adjusted in this way model allows to obtain a more accurate predictive solution for the development and to improve the management efficiency of hydrocarbon deposits.
