Insights and methods for 4D reservoir monitoring and characterization 2005 Distinguished Instructor Short Course

Covers the application and impact of 4D monitoring for the oil and gas industry, along with some requirements, modeling, and acquisition techniques for ensuring good data and using them to diagnose various reservoir production effects and to update reservoir simulation models. The treatment aims at giving an understanding of basic underlying principles for specialists in all geoscience disciplines and their managers. The book, which accompanies the 2005 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course sponsored by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, also treats techniques that were emerging in 2005. Key lessons are that nearly all models and predictions without reservoir monitoring are likely to be wrong and that 4D monitoring can be much more than a repetition of conventional 3D surveys. Better ways are available to measure small production differences sensitively.
