Abstract
We present an integrated approach for characterizing the reservoir and estimating its properties both at the well locations and in the inter-wen regions. Such an approach can be an invaluable tool for attaining a detailed, consistent, and complete characterization of the reservoir, as not only does it incorporate all major sources of information that shape our understanding of the reservoir, including core descriptions, well Jogs, seismic data, and a priori knowledge of the geological setting of the region, but also it develops means for utilizing these sources of information in a unified manner that gives rise to a coherent framework for relating these sources of information to yield an integrated reservoir model. We analyze the different components of this approach, develop methodologies for improving the prediction accuracy of each, and link the mechanisms across these components to achieve an accurate and consistent characterization of the reservoir. The issues we tackle in this thesis can be broadly divided into four categories: enhancement of the seismic resolution, estimation of the reservoir properties at the well locations, characterizing the reservoir in the inter-well regions, and pre-processing the data to remedy any incompleteness or inconsistency.
