North Sea Oil and Gas Reservoirs

Oil and gas have been produced from North Sea reservoirs for over two decades. The economic and technological challenges posed by the North Sea have necessitated a continuing development of refined geological and reservoir technical methods for reservoir evaluation and management. This book, which is the third in a series, brings together the specialists involved in this development in an attempt to summarize current knowledge of North Sea reservoirs and the techniques used to analyze their geological and fluid dynamic properties. Particular emphasis is placed on the interdependence of the disciplines involved in reservoir development and on synergistic approaches to reservoir research.Topics covered in this volume include detailed reviews of North Sea reservoirs, improved seismic methods for reservoir description, geological reservoir heterogeneity with special emphasis on fault modeling fluid - rock interactions and the near-well environment, geostatistical methods and reservoir simulation.
