A
field’s structure is one of the most critical components of the
reservoir model, accounting for the greatest uncertainty in in‑place
reserves. Yet, one of the great challenges in reservoir modelling
today is the ability to create models – based on limited input data – that
accurately represent reality.
One of the key means of achieving this is through structural modelling.
Structural models provide an important link between seismic interpretation
and geological model building and form a key element of the reservoir
characterisation workflow, providing input into volume calculations, flow
simulation and reservoir behaviour.
