Gypsy Field project in reservoir characterization. [Quarterly report], October 1--December 31, 1995
The overall objective of this project is to use the extensive Gypsy Field laboratory and data set as focus for developing and testing reservoir characterization methods that are targeted at improved recovery of conventional oil. The Gypsy Field laboratory, as described by Doyle, O`Meara, and Witterholt (1991), consists of coupled outcrop and subsurface sites which have been characterized to a degree of detail not possible in a production operation. Data from these sites entail geological descriptions, core measurements, well logs, vertical seismic surveys, a 3D seismic survey, crosswell seismic surveys, and pressure transient well tests. The over all project consists of four inter disciplinary sub-projects which are closely interlinked: (1) modeling depositional environments; (2) upscaling; (3) sweep efficiency; and (4) tracer testing. During this quarter, the main activities involved task 1, modeling depositional environments, for which progress is reported. This task aims at improving the investigators ability to model complex depositional environments which trap movable oil.
