Overview of reservoir characterization and modeling problems. Reservoir mapping.3D modeling. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistics for geological data analysis.

UNIT II

Pattern recognition techniques. Petrophysical predictions from well logs. Introduction to petroleum geostatitsics. Variograms. Kringin. Uncertainty quantification. Finite difference approximations to the diffusivity equation and the application of those approximations for reservoir simulations

UNIT III

Stochastic reservoir modeling. Sequential simulation. Gaussian simulation. Indicator simulation. Integrating seismic attributes, well tests and production data. Constraining reservoir models with various sources of information. Reservoir up girding and upscaling.

UNIT IV

Reservoir simulation – Investigation of petroleum reservoir characteristics and behavior, including: pore volume, fluid distribution and movement, and recovery. optimized field development and management plans.
