SIM Reservoir Targets and well trajectories

Through simple filtering mechanisms SIM Reservoir enables the user to interactively and quickly identify targets. Filtering cells based on multiple grid properties as well as geometric properties like “do not show cells that are completed” and “do not show cells that are being intersected by existing well trajectories” allows the engineer to quickly identify the best spot for a new well. The user can then select to export the particular cells by picking them interactively in the 3D work space, or create a proposed well trajectory simply by clicking on the cells and building a trajectory on-the-fly. The trajectory can later be exported in ASCII format to be used as input for any well planner tool. The figure illustrates how a well trajectory can be created through “hot spot” cells based on multiple selection criteria (high porosity, oil saturation, permeability and non completed cells). The remaining “pockets” of cells are colored by pressure with a red-white scale (high-low).
