Modelling and simulating a high-resolution high-fidelity model for three discoveries in the Måløy Slope, Norwegian North Sea

The importance of detailed reservoir characterization and modelling for accurate reservoir performance prediction has always been recognized, but generally it is necessary to upscale reservoir properties derived from seismic data to create models that can be run in a reasonable timeframe and are a useful tool for prediction. CGG has combined its strengths in high-resolution seismic imaging and its high-performance computing (HPC) capability into a new modelling workflow which allows preservation of the high-resolution seismic information directly into the dynamic reservoir simulation model. These models can be used for field development planning and production optimization.
