Life of Field (LoF)

4D Subsurface Simulation

Life of Field workflows involve expertise in geology, engineering, and geophysics. The full work process was previously not adequately benchmarked for interpretation accuracy and workflows were inefficient. Exercising an industrial-scale synthetic data set could significantly improve this.

SEAM Life of Field data was generated for complex geology, complete reservoir description, and seismic. Reservoir dynamics were simulated along with the resulting well and geophysical and geomechanical responses. The resulting data can be used to estimate the “inverse” problem of interpreting reservoir dynamics in a unique condition where everything about the reservoir is known.

The project initiated on 31 December 2015 and was completed in December 2020. Deliverables include:

  • Files defining a digital representation of a generic Earth model consisting of a Tertiary sedimentary basin with salt tectonics and lower and upper petroleum reservoirs
  • Simulations of seismic and gravity data as might be collected over the model in standard geophysical remote-sensing surveys
  • Files defining a digital representation of a generic Earth model consisting of a carbonate platform with petroleum reservoirs
