Reservoir Development Geologic Modeling and Residual Oil Prediction Research

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the geological modeling methods in reservoir development as well as residual oil prediction techniques. Geological modeling is a crucial step in oilfield development, which involves the three-dimensional description of subsurface reservoirs and helps to better understand reservoir properties. Residual oil prediction, on the other hand, is an estimation of the future production capacity of the reservoir and is crucial for decision making and resource management. This study explores different geological modeling methods, including seismic inversion, core analysis, and wellbore data, and introduces a variety of residual oil prediction techniques, including numerical simulation and statistical methods. Through example analyses and case studies, this paper demonstrates the application of these methods in practical reservoir development and their potential to improve reservoir development efficiency and residual oil prediction accuracy.
