Simulation of Facies using an integrated Geostatistical Model for the development of an Ecuadorian oil field

Abstract

The objective of this research is to build a geostatistical model from the integration of geophysical data, logging wells and lithology information to determine the location of potential hydrocarbon deposits and know the POES of field. For which we have to collect information about field according to coordinates of wells, surveys, wellheaders, logging wells, facies interpreted stratigraphic tops and a database to be input in the platform OpenWorks, those data will be charged in individual sessions in the Software Decision Space Geoscience (DSG), which will create models of different Geostatistical realizations such as models of facies using the Sequential Indicator Simulation  and Plurigaussian Simulation algorithms, also the petrophysical properties let to select the most similar model of facies  with the real geological models  of the field and let to determine  the reserves estimation of field. The numerical reservoir simulation  methods applied in the DSG software can generate data in areas that do not have information,  from techniques or interpolation algorithms for each model that will be generated, those methods will be studied in this project.
