Maximizing Recoverable Reserves in Tight Reservoirs Using Geostatistical Inversion from 3-D Seismic: A Case Study From The Powder River Basin

The economics of unconventional plays can be improved if horizontal wellbores target facies with favorable reservoir and geomechanical properties. An integrated, multi-disciplinary approach has been developed in order to reduce economic risk, facilitate improved and faster decision making and enable more efficient and effective well placement.
