  • Reservoir model building methods
    Patent number: 7844430
    Abstract: Disclosed are various reservoir model generation methods. At least one of the methods includes providing a first framework having a plurality of cells, wherein the first framework is a reservoir framework and providing a second framework having a plurality of cells, wherein the volume of the first framework is greater than the volume of the second framework.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 30, 2010
    Assignee: ExxonMobil Upstream Research Co.
    Inventors: Lester H. Landis, Jr., Peter N. Glenton
  • Reservoir evaluation methods
    Patent number: 7783462
    Abstract: Described herein are methods of evaluating reservoirs. At least one of the methods includes providing a three dimensional reservoir framework having a plurality of cells; assigning one or more constant reservoir property values to some or all of the cells to provide a first three dimensional reservoir model; updating the first three dimensional reservoir model by populating some or all of the cells with one or more variable reservoir property values to provide a second three dimensional reservoir model; and updating the second three dimensional reservoir model by populating some or all of the cells with one or more reservoir property values derived from seismic data to provide a third three dimensional reservoir model. Other methods are also described.
