Over the past several years there has been a growing integration of geophysical, geological, reservoir engineering, production and petrophysical data in predicting and determining reservoir properties. This includes reservoir extent and sand development away from the well bore, as well as in unpenetrated prospects, leading to optimization planning for field development. As such, geoscientists now must learn the technology, processes and challenges involved within their specific functions in order to complete day-to-day activities. Practical solutions to Integrated Reservoir Analysis contains over 120 real-life problems (as shared on LinkedIn groups) and challenging questions encountered by geoscientists in their day-to-day work in the exploitation and development of oil and gas fields. From Amplitude Versus Offset (AVO) to well-to-seismic tie, phase of seismic data, seismic inversion studies, pore pressure prediction, rock physics and exploration geological, the text examines challenges in the industry as well as the solutions and techniques used to overcome those challenges. Presents a thorough understanding of the requirements and issues of various disciplines in characterizing a wide spectrum of reservoirs Includes over 120 real-life problems and challenging questions encountered by geoscientists in their day-to-day work Provides a much needed integrated approach among different disciplines (geology, geophysics, petrophysics, and petroleum engineering) Includes case studies on different types of reservoir settings around the world to help illustrate key points
