The Fluid Modeling workflow

The Fluid Modeling workflow (model > Fluids) will guide you through the steps that will let you determine fluid levels and construct a fluid distribution model.

The workflow starts with the process of creating compartments by assigning fluid boundaries (e.g. faults, stratigraphic surfaces, additional fluid boundaries). Before creating compartments, a preliminary step would be to gain understanding of the structural model and to focus on possible fluid distribution scenarios.

Once the compartments are created, you incorporate your well data by assigning fluid data, net rock data, and pressure data to your fluid model. A fluid log indicates the fluid type (e.g. oil, gas, water etc.), whereas a net rock log indicates 'reservoir' and 'non-reservoir' intervals along a wellbore. A pressure log indicates fluid pressure data (local measurements at specific points) obtained from various formation tests. See Converting logs for more info.

For each compartment, fluid levels and fluid pressure data will be collected from wells intersecting that compartment. This aggregated information will help you QC and fine-tune your fluid model.

Fluid models created as a result of this workflow can be found in the JewelExplorer under Fluid Models. You can define multiple fluid models to cover different scenarios of the fluid distribution.
