Reservoirs can be described in many excellent and reliable ways: with seismic images, with geologic or petrophysical analyses using well data taken during...

A major characterization effort initiated in 1994 resulted in a 25-million- cell reservoir description and coupled fluid-flow model. Insights gained in the characterization have led to a broad evalu- ation of the seismic-reservoir...
