Abstract:
A procedure that integrates petrophysics and rock typing taken from vertical well measurements, 3D seismic elastic properties and seismic attributes, and geostatistical modeling to build a 3D reservoir model is provided. The 3D reservoir model may be directly incorporated into horizontal fracture model designs. The developed 3D reservoir model for a subsurface volume may be used in a fracture model to optimize fracturing designs and maximize well performance.
