Time Lapse Pilot Data

The Time Lapse Pilot models 4D changes in pore pressure, saturation, and other reservoir changes during a plausible production scenario. It was a significant extension of the SEAM Pressure Prediction project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy through NETL.

Free shots from the middle of the model

Before and after (reciprocal) shots located an OBN directly above the reservoir, shooting into an array (501 x 501 at 25 m spacing) located in the water column 257.5 m above the node.

Michael Oristaglio

Can modern numerical methods simulate changes in the geometry and physical properties of a reservoir over time — the changes in the rocks, pore fluids, and pressures that accompany reservoir flow and production — well enough to explain and predict the subtle effects that are seen in time-lapse geophysical surveys of real oil fields?
