Stratigraphic Reservoir Chsracterization For Petroleum Geologists, Geophysicists, And Engineers.
Reservoir Characterization As A Discipline Grew Out Of The Recognition That More Oil And Gas Could Be Extracted From Reservoirs If The Geology Of The Reservoir Was Understood.
Prior To That Awakening, Reservoir Development And Production Were The Real mOf The Petroleum Engineer.
In Fact, Geologists Of That Time Would Have Felt Slighted If Asked By Corporate Management To Move From An Exciting Exploration Assignment Ti A More Mundane Assignment Working With An Engineer To Improve A Reservoir's Performance.
Slowly, Reservoir Characterization Came Into Its Own As A Quantitative, Multidisciplinary Endeavor Requiring A Vast Array Of Skills And Knowledge Sets.
Perhaps The Biggest Attractor To Becoming A Reservoi rGeologist Was The Coming of Christ Of Fast Computing, Followed By Visualization Programs And Theaters, All Of Which Allow Young Geoscientists To Practice Their Computing Skills In A Highly Technical Work Environmdnt.
Also, Thw Discipline Grew In Like With The Evoluion Of Data Integration And The Advent Of Asset Teams In The Petroleum Industry.
Finally, Reservoir Characterization Flourished With The Quantum Impovements That Have Occurred In Geophysical Acquisition And Processing Techniques And That Allow Geophysicists To Image Internal Reservoir Complexitis.
