Reservoir Characterization

Improving hydrocarbon recovery requires understanding of:

Trap geometry,

Reservoir geometry,

Seals/Barriers,

Water-Hydrocarbon distribution, and

Pay/Nonpay rock type distribution.

Defining the Prospect requires understanding of:

Source rock potential,

Reservoir rock, and

Seal rock.

Describing the reservoir requires understanding of:

Hydrocarbon-Water distribution,

Lateral and vertical barriers to flow, and

Pay and nonpay rock types.
