Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods for determining reserve estimates for a reservoir using a thickness grid multiplied by one or more grids of laterally-varying attributes to produce a unified grid from which the reserve estimates are determined.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for determining reserve estimates for a reservoir, which comprises: resampling an attribute grid by matching the attribute grid and a thickness grid so that the attribute grid includes an attribute grid node at each location of a thickness grid node; creating a unified grid with a plurality of cells and a unified grid node at each location of an attribute grid node; wherein each unified grid node includes a value that is the product of a thi…
