Reservoir modelling – new iterative workflow and software enables models to remain current
Reservoir modelling has long been a best practice as a practical component of ongoing field management in the oil and gas industry. A revolutionary new dynamic workflow has been developed by Fugro-Jason, saving time over existing approaches and allowing operators to keep the reservoir model up to date while also keeping to drilling schedules.

Progressive, Interactive Modeling Delivers Fast, Reliable Answers to Key Reservoir Questions
Reservoir modeling has become a practical component of ongoing field management for smaller independent oil and gas companies, as well as the majors and larger independents that have long regarded reservoir modeling as a “best practice.”

Tightly Integrating Petrophysics, Rock Physics In Single Model Generates Improved Results
American Oil & Gas Reporter (AOGR)
The idea of integrating rock physics with petrophysics is not novel. However, the degree of integration has historically been rather loose, limiting its potential benefits. A tight integration offers significant value in both reduced uncertainty and improved field performance. By adopting tight integration, operators can reduce risk, improve process efficiency, enhance overall production and increase the return on economic assets.

Extrapolation of Flow Units away from Wells with 3D Pre-Stack Seismic Amplitude Data: Field Example
Petrophysics
The objective of this paper is to assess the spatial continuity and lateral extent of M-series lithology and fluid units penetrated by wells using pre-stack seismic amplitude data.

Seismic Inversion -- A Critical Tool in Reservoir Characterization
Scandinavian Oil-Gas Magazine
The principle objective of seismic inversion is to transform seismic reflection data into a quantitative rock property, descriptive of the reservoir. In its most simple form, acoustic impedance logs are computed at each CMP. Compared to seismic ampitudes, inversions show higher resolution and support more accurate interpretations.

Five Areas Key to Reservoir Modeling
The American Oil & Gas Reporter
Deepwater reservoirs pose significant challenges to companies exploring and producing those reservoirs because of the high exploration, development and production costs. Great uncertainty and risk attend the evalutation of deepwater reservoirs because of the environment, sparse well control, and lack of direct measurement of reservoir properties. Proper modeling of deepwater reservoirs provides companies with tools to evaluate the reservoirs and quantify risks associated with their development. Read how Devon Energy leveraged Fugro-Jason technology.

High Resolution Brings New Insight Into Connectivity, Reservoir Size, Sand Quality
Offshore Magazine (View only version; contact us for a hardcopy)
By using a novel approach that ties pre-stack seismic and well log data, our team has built a uniquely detailed 3D model of Anadarko’s Marco Polo field, leading to a better understanding of the vertical and lateral extent as well as the quality of the reservoir. The new technique yielded a four-fold gain in vertical resolution, and this crispness enabled us to identify additional features associated with the seismic anomalies, such as small faults and lateral changes in sand quality. For Anadarko, the value extends far beyond the Marco Polo field to other holdings where the method can be used to reduce reservoir development risk and improve drilling and production programs.

Reduction Of Field Development And Drilling Costs By Using Integrated Modeling
Integrating the seismic data more effectively may offer the next step change in risk reduction and therefore affect
economic field evaluation and impact. Fugro-Jason presents a methodology on how the data and model differences might
be addressed in order to more accurately define the subsurface geology using all available field information.

Oil & Gas Journal
Oil fields deplete, but most have significant oil reserves remaining, trapped in the rock pores. There are many older "depleted" fields that could still add reserves to the world economy if more cost effective thinking were applied.
