SMALL-SCALE MODELS, BIG RESULTS
SBED™ technology models the small-scale sedimentary details that impact large scale reservoir performance. Unlike conventional cell-based or object-based models, SBED models simulate bedding structures observed at core scale (where cell dimensions are millimeters to centimeters). By running petrophysical simulations constrained by bedding geometry, users can derive directional permeability for a given lithofacies and identify net pay below the level of petrophysical log resolution. In addition, SBED can help determine the maximum size to which a grid cell may be upscaled without compromising the flow properties.
REALISTIC BEDDING STRUCTURES
SBED generates geologic models by mimicking the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary bedding, including bedform migration, erosion and deposition. Formulated in a stochastic framework, the modeling algorithms generate accurate 3D geologic models and simulate petrophysical properties constrained by bedding geometry. SBED includes more than 100 built-in stratigraphic templates to quickly and accurately model a wide variety of depositional environments, including estuarine, shoreface and submarine fan. Bedding geometry, bedform orientation, mud-to-sand ratio and boundary conditions can be edited to represent core and outcrop observations. Custom templates can be generated from the built-in library to solve any geologic problem.
ADVANCED FLOW SIMULATION & UPSCALING
SBED uses powerful flow simulation and up-scaling techniques to calculate effective permeability for both single and multi-phase flow based on periodic, linear or fixed boundary conditions. SBED includes Representative Elementary Volume calculations to determine the optimum reservoir grid cell size for upscaling.
SBED FOR PETREL
SBED for Petrel* is an Ocean* Plug-in developed to seamlessly integrate with Petrel. SBED for Petrel enables users to operate entirely with a Petrel workflow to generate improved reservoir models. SBED for Petrel uses the Ocean environment to import data directly from Petrel and return results into a Petrel model..
