Geological Modeling for Yamama Formation in Abu Amood Oil Field

Abstract

3D geological model of a simple petroleum reservoir for Yamama Formation has been built in Abu Amood Oil Field using Petrel software, which is a product of Schlumberger. This model contains the structure, stratigraphy and reservoir properties (porosity and water saturation) in three directions(X, Y and Z).Geologic modeling is an applied science of creating computerized representations of portions of the earth's crust, especially oil and gas fields. Yamama Formation in Abu Amood Oil Field is divided into thirteen zones by using well logs and their petrophysical properties, six of which are reservoir zones. From the top of the formation these six zones are: (YB-1, YB-2, YB-3, YC-1, YC-2 and YC-3). These reservoir zones are separated from each other by barriers, which are of little or no porosity.
