Abstract

This article provides a brief overview of reservoir characterization at different stages of a field from exploration to development to production and post primary production. It demonstrates the challenges associated with integration of different data types. It also shows how “Dynamic Reservoir Characterization” can assist in monitoring of the field for various well stimulation processes such as enhanced oil recovery as well as reservoir stimulation. Different sections of this entry attempt to highlight different aspects of reservoir characterization, as an exploration tool, development tool, production tool and monitoring tool. As reservoirs age, different measures are taken to extend their productive life. This includes different types of reservoir stimulation and enhanced oil (or gas) recovery.

Keywords: Reservoir characterization, data integration challenges, 3D/4D seismic, micro-seismic data, reservoir monitoring, dynamic reservoir characterization, rock physics and enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
