The Field and the Plan

Part 15, Chapter 15: The Complete Build, End to End

One Field, End to End

This final chapter builds a complete reservoir model from nothing to a flowing forecast, on a single field. Everything the course has taught, the grid, the geostatistics, the volumes, the flow physics, comes together here as one guided build of Ogbon Field. Each of the next stages adds one piece, on the same grid, until the model is ready to run.

What We Start With

Ogbon is an offshore discovery: a faulted sandstone holding oil over water. We know its shape from seismic and its rock from a handful of wells, and almost nothing about the volume in between. That gap is what the model fills.

Each Stage Feeds the Next

The plan is the static-to-dynamic workflow: build the grid, fill it with facies and properties, sum the volumes, ready it for flow, then run it. The stages are not independent. The grid holds the facies, the facies carry the properties, and the properties set the volumes and the flow, so an error early on poisons everything after it. We build each stage, and check it, before moving on.
