is recoverable will be dependent on various factors,
including the production costs, and there are many
large accumulations of hydrocarbons that are simply
too expensive to recover given current expectation of
future oil and gas prices.
22.1.3 Main Model Elements
Both the static model and the dynamic model may be
split into two major elements:
• The reservoir container (bulk volume) limiting the
spatial distribution of the reservoir. The reservoir
Fig. 22.2 The Gullfaks field (offshore Norway) is heavily faulted. The reservoir model shown here displays all faults included in
the model work
Fig. 22.1 3D modelling tools are excellent for co-visualisation
of multiple data types. Here is an example from a Norwegian
offshore field, displaying (A) seismic data, (B) wells, (C) static
model grid with properties, and (D) dynamic grid with properties.
The visualization is improved by contemporary use of visual
techniques like various fence slices and partial transparency
