3D Geological Modeling in Complex Reservoir with Fractures – A Case of Biandong Oilfield

Abstract:

With the fast development of computer technology and 3D visualization technology, geological modleing has made great progress in recent years. The aim of geological modeling is to realize the integrated and quantitative prediction of underground geological bodies, and provide researchers with 3D display of geological characteristics, consequently. So, 3D geological modeling has become an important tool for people to carry out related studies in every oilfield of in China. This paper analyzes the complexity and diversity of geological bodies and geological structure, because these are the main factors that control the distribution and spread of sandboied and reservoir parameters. Based on these previous analysis, the 3D geological model is established with proper modeling method, and a certain 3D visualization of geological bodies are realized by through-well profiles and fence models. Also, the 3D geological model can provide a reliable scientific tools for decision-making for geological researchers.
