Abstract: A method of developing a petroleum reservoir according to a given development scheme, from a facies map representative of the reservoir. New measurements are taken in the reservoir to better characterize it. A geostatistical simulator is selected. A set of random numbers is then identified which are provided to the geostatistical simulator to provide a facies representation identical to the initial map by inverting a random number generation algorithm of the simulator. The map is then modified to account for the new measurements, by carrying out a geostatistical simulation constrained by the measurements, with the geostatistical simulator and the set of random numbers. Finally, the reservoir development scheme is modified by accounting for the modified map, and the reservoir is developed using the modified development scheme.

Abstract: A method of developing a petroleum reservoir, wherein a facies map representative of the reservoir is constructed from petrophysical property maps. A grid cell visiting order is defined by selecting the visiting order that first passes through the cells where the facies are the most discriminated. Then, in each cell i, according to the visiting order, and for various facies values k, the likelihood defined by the probability of obtaining in cell i the values of observed petrophysical properties is calculated, knowing that the facies in cell i is facies k, and knowing on the one hand already identified facies values V*<i and, the values of the petrophysical properties of the previously visited cells. The facies value that maximizes the likelihood in cell i is associated with each cell i of the grid.

Abstract: A method of developing a petroleum reservoir from a reservoir model constrained by the production data and seismic attributes. Production data and seismic data are acquired during the development of the reservoir. A first image of a seismic attribute is constructed from the seismic data. Production responses are simulated from a reservoir model using a flow simulator. An image corresponding to the seismic attribute is simulated from the reservoir model. A local dissimilarity map is constructed from the reference seismic attribute image and from the simulated seismic attribute image. The reservoir model is modified to minimize any difference between the measured production data and the corresponding production responses and to minimize local dissimilarities. This model is used to determine an optimal development scheme and the reservoir is developed according to the development scheme.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an oil pool based on a reservoir model gradually deformed by means of cosimulations. A map of a property of the pool is obtained by a stochastic simulation of a first random function. A correlation coefficient is chosen between the first random function and a second random function with an identical mean and covariance. The map is modified by a cosimulation of the two random functions by using the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient is modified and the cosimulation step is reiterated to deform the map and minimize a matching objective function. Finally, the pool is operated by implementing an operating scheme accounting for the deformed map.

Abstract: The invention is a method for exploiting a geological reservoir to exploit hydrocarbons or provide gas storage. The exploitation is defined on the basis of a reservoir model calibrated relative to dynamic data. The calibration is carried out by computing an objective function for a set of reservoir models. The objective function makes it possible to determine an analytical law of conditional distribution of the uncertain parameters of the model to generate new reservoir models added to the set of reservoir models.
