A common problem in naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) is a lack of data caused by few wells; or at least, few wells with core or borehole images. Secondary data (such as seismic) can be used to improve predictions of fracture intensity in between the wells. Common geostatistical techniques...

Many geological deposits contain nonlinear anisotropic features such as veins, channels, folds or local changes in orientation; numerical property modeling must account for these features to be reliable and predictive. This work incorporates locally varying anisotropy into inverse distance...

In Geostatistical modelling of the spatial distribution of rock attributes, the multivariate distribution of a Random Function defines the range of possible values and the spatial relationships among them. Under a decision of stationarity, the Random Function distribution and its statistics are...

New data and revised processing methods yielded a revised understanding of the geothermics of the Phanerozoic strata in Saskatchewan. Temperatures increase with depth from 5 °C at 100 m to 120 °C at 3200 m. Average integral geothermal gradients range between 25 and 30 °C•km-1. Geothermal...

The McMurray Formation contains complex geological features that were partially formed in a fluvial-estuarine depositional environment. These geological features that are interrelated to each other exist with different shapes, patterns, and sizes. The inclined heterolithic strata (IHS) formed as...

Heterogeneity Consideration and Upscaling of elastic properties in coupled geomechanical flow simulation of SAGD
DownloadFall 2013
Geomechanical processes occurring during steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) thermal recovery influence petrophysical and rock mechanical properties of both reservoir and caprock formations. While geostatistical techniques provide multiple equi probable geological realizations for...

This dissertation proposes an improved facies modelling methodology that involves a new geological spatial characterization tool, a geological based spatial distance calculation, and a theoretically sound conditional probability calculation. The full set of bivariate probabilities are proposed...

Multiple data types should be used simultaneously to improve resource estimation models. The multivariate relationship between the data is required. One common approach involves using decorrelation transformation techniques to simplify complex relationships, but this method relies on having...

Multivariate techniques aim to integrate multiple variables and/or data in the same framework to improve uncertainty assessment in high resolution geostatistical models. The necessity to build models that better quantify the uncertainty with limited data that are often collected with different...
