Reservoir Compartmentalization

Modern exploration and production portfolios often contain fields in which hydrocarbon trapping and disruption to dynamic fluid flow, is influenced by complex distributions of faults, fractures and stratigraphic heterogeneities.  Understanding the nature of static and dynamic compartmentalization in these fields, is a key to locating connected reserves, identifying unswept blocks, and safely optimising field development, to increase production rates and ultimate recovery.

This 2-day international conference will examine approaches to recognition, characterisation and prediction of geological controls on Reservoir Compartmentalization - through integration of geoscience and reservoir engineering studies (structure, geomechanics, geophysics, stratigraphy, sedimentology, diagenesis, fluids and pressures).  We aim to attract contributions from industry and academic researchers, specialist service providers, and practitioners.  We believe this will provide a collective benchmark of the modern science and related technology applied to Reservoir Compartmentalization.
