The complete paper details how the reservoir modeling workflow can be accelerated, and uncertainty reduced, even for challenging greenfield prospects by constructing multiple small fit-for-purpose integrated adaptive models instead of one all-encompassing model. This workflow reduces the number of items on the critical path while simultaneously enabling static and dynamic data to be integrated before the static model is finalized. In addition, this approach enables new ideas to be evaluated more rapidly without affecting the critical path of the project.
Adaptive Models
Adaptive models are constructed to evaluate a single parameter, although this does not preclude an adaptive model being used to answer more than one question simultaneously. Critical to the successful use of adaptive models is the fact that they can be constructed quickly.
