Abstract

Summary An integrated reservoir characterization engages with the working of models illustrative of underground geological formations, which are then used to predict and optimize oil and gas production. It is obvious that no single discipline can give a full depiction of the reservoir characteristics. In order to create the most comprehensive reservoir understanding, an integrated reservoir model has turned out to be progressively important. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prediction of reservoir properties distribution and spatial distribution of facies by relating petrophysics and elastic properties of the rock to its depositional environment. The elastic properties of rock and the seismic attributes will indulge the propagation of facies and reservoir properties. The study will approach the challenge by integrating the well logs and seismic and the applied integration will be used for the conditional propagation of reservoir characterization. In accordance with that, this paper focuses on discriminating the fluid and the type of lithology to enhance the prediction of depositional environment of the prospect area.
