DETECTING FLUID TYPES USING PETROPHYSICAL INVERSION

A method and apparatus for generating a fluid saturation model for a subsurface region. One example method generally includes obtaining a model of the subsurface region; for each of a plurality of fluid types: flooding the subsurface region model with the fluid type to generate a flood model; and ru...

Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for generating a fluid saturation model for a subsurface region. One example method generally includes obtaining a model of the subsurface region; for each of a plurality of fluid types: flooding the subsurface region model with the fluid type to generate a flood model; and running a trial petrophysical inversion with the flood model to generate a trial petrophysical model; identifying potential fluid contact regions in the trial petrophysical models; partitioning the subsurface region model at the identified potential fluid contact regions; and constructing the fluid saturation model from the partitioned subsurface region model.
