US Patent:

20190094403, Mar 28, 2019

Filed:

Sep 27, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/144736

Inventors:

- San Ramon CA, US
Yuanbo LIN - Houston TX, US
Michael J. RICHEY - Houston TX, US
Matthew C. JONES - Katy TX, US

International Classification:

G01V 1/50
G01V 1/46

Abstract:

Systems and methods for estimating reservoir productivity as a function of depth in a subsurface volume of interest are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain subsurface data and well data corresponding to a subsurface volume of interest; obtain a parameter model; use the subsurface data and the well data to generate multiple production parameter maps; apply the parameter model to the multiple production parameter maps to generate refined production parameter values; generate multiple refined production parameter graphs; display the multiple refined production parameter graphs; generate one or more user input options; receive the one or more user input options selected by a user to generate limited production parameter values; generate a representation of estimated reservoir productivity as a function of depth in the subsurface volume of interest using visual effects; and display the representation.

Abstract:

Exemplary implementations may: obtain subsurface data and well data of the subsurface volume of interest; obtain a parameter model; obtain a spatial correlation model; use the subsurface data and the well data to generate multiple production parameter maps; apply the parameter model to the multiple production parameter maps to generate production likelihood values; apply the spatial correlation model to the subsurface data and the well data to generate parameter continuity values; generate a representation of the likelihood of reservoir productivity as a function of position in the subsurface volume of interest; and display the representation.
