Quality control

Horizontal wells

Shale oil&gas development, fields development with horizontal wells and complexity of green and brown fields dramatically increase demands for high resolution and accuracy of reservoir characterization. Standard attribute analysis and acoustic inversion technologies in many cases are not able to provide necessary quality of the results.Big Data technologies enable to significantly increase the relability of the predictions and uncertainty evaluation of the reservoir parameters. To get maximal value of the tehnologies it is necessary to refuse from oversimplified interpretation approaches in favor of workflows in which exploration is represented as experiment-like research of reservoir properties with geophysical tools. 2017 European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers EAGE.
