Abstract


In the present work, the methodology of 3D reservoir architectural modeling using image-derived dip data has been showcased. The computed structural dip and the projection away from the borehole have been used to create the surface from the well tops. Finally, using this surface, a 3D reservoir model has been generated. This dip optimizes the horizontal well planning for proper well placement. It can help in reducing the structural uncertainty and thus drilling hazards.
