Abstract


For more than half a century of field exploitation, Tatneft has accumulated a large amount of geological, geophysical and field information. Over the past few years, significant work has been done to transfer this information from paper sources to electronic form. Analysis and verification of such a volume of information for subsequent use in the construction of geological and hydrodynamic models are associated with significant labor costs, which, depending on the duration of the development history, the number of production facilities and the number of wells drilled in the field, can be comparable to the modeling stages. The quality of initial data preparation has a direct impact on the ability of models to perform the tasks assigned to them. The paper presents ways to solve the problem of optimizing and automating preparation and identifying inconsistencies in the original data, as well as a method for automatically identifying inaccuracies in the geological model.

Key words:

geological modelling, hydrodynamic modelling, program code, relative permeability
