Field Development Studies and Production Optimization

Viridien’s specialist geomodeling department is supported by world-class seismic, sedimentological, stratigraphic, GIS mapping, petrophysical and reservoir engineering personnel. The geological model is the place where all of these data are integrated and made sense of. We focus on providing clients with the big picture based on quality inputs, while all the time keeping strong focus on their ultimate aims. Our geological models are used as the basis for dynamic reservoir simulations and fully independent FDPs (field development plans) and advice. Our experienced economics department is able to advise on FDP optimization, asset value and financial risk.

The main components of our static model building workflow and methodology are:

• Data loading, expert QC and analysis
• Integration of regional, sedimentological, diagenetic, petrophysical and reservoir architectural understanding
• Incorporation of sedimentological, seismic, petrophysical and reservoir engineering data
• Structural modeling
• Facies and reservoir property modeling
• Saturation modeling and QC
• Volumetric determinations and uncertainty analysis
• Migration-to-reservoir simulator and initialization support
