Statistical Characterization Of Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoirs With Archetypes, Laura L. Watkins May 1998

Statistical Characterization Of Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoirs With Archetypes, Laura L. Watkins

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Optimizing the extraction of oil and other hydrocarbon products from existing sites is important. One source of hydrocarbon products is reservoirs found within sedimentary rock formations. Understanding fluid behavior within such formations can be quite useful in optimizing oil production. Fluid behavior within sedimentary formations is influenced by the bedform structure and permeabilities within the formation. Thus, we are concerned with developing a physically and statistically valid method of characterizing sedimentary rock formations. The use of archetypal analysis to generate synthetic bedforms, as well as the use of Kriging to assign permeabilities within a bedform, was explored. With these tools, …
