چکیده

Determination of Geostatistical Parameters Using Well Test Data — In this paper we describe a new method to obtain estimations of the geostatistical parameters (GPs) such as the correlation length, lc and the permeability variance, σln from well test data. In practical studies, the GPs are estimated using geological and petrophysical data, but often, these data are too scarce to give precise results. The proposed method uses the Bayesian inversion theory, in conjunction with a fast evaluation of well tests that implies upscaling techniques. The method was tested using synthetic well-test data performed on some training images, and estimations of the underlying correlation length, lc and permeability variance, σln were recovered. These estimations give a correct order of magnitude of the actual values, but as noticed in similar methods, the uncertainties are high. Once the GPs are estimated, other well established techniques can be used to get well-test matched reservoir images consistent with the geostatistical model. We will see that excellent well test data are needed, and that the method could be improved using multiple well test data. 168 Oil & Gas Science and Technology – Rev. IFP, Vol. 59 (2004), No. 2

Bayesian approach for three-dimensional aquifer characterization at the Hanford 300 Area

This study presents a stochastic, threedimensional characterization of a heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity field within the Hanford 300 Area, Washington, USA, by assimilating large-scale, constant-rate injection test data with small-scale, three-dimensional electromagnetic borehole flowmeter (EBF) measurement data. We first inverted the injection test data to estimate the transmissivity fiel...

Estimation of facies probabilities on the Snorre field using geostatistical AVA inversion

We have done a geostatistical inversion of seismic data to facies probabilities. As a first step, we invert the seismic data for elastic parameters using the Bayesian AVA inversion method of Buland et. al. (2003). Next, we use an analysis of the uncertainty in the posterior distribution to filter the elastic parameters given in well logs. By comparing these filtered well logs with facies logs, ...

[1] We investigate, through numerical experiments, the viability of three-dimensional transient hydraulic tomography (3DTHT) for identifying the spatial distribution of groundwater flow parameters (primarily, hydraulic conductivity K) in permeable, unconfined aquifers. To invert the large amount of transient data collected from 3DTHT surveys, we utilize an iterative geostatistical inversion str...
