Velocity-shot measurement

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A method of producing a radioactive-tracer log, in which a slug of radioactive material is injected into the flow stream of a production or injection well from one section of a logging tool and ...

A method of following a trend between points by connecting the data points by segments of a circle such that the segments "line up" with each other smoothly. This method is used to plot out deviation ...

Random-walk method

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A method of performing stochastic analysis on dynamic data. This method can be used in stochastic simulation of fluid behaviour in reservoirs and fields.

Reservoir characterization model

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A model of a specific volume of the subsurface that incorporates all the geologic characteristics of the reservoir. Such models are used to quantify characteristics within the subsurface volume that ...

Flow model

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A model of a reservoir in which the steady-state flow and the advective transport are described in two or three dimensions by a computer program. A flow model is an essential component of a reservoir ...

Reservoir characterization

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A model of a reservoir that incorporates all the characteristics of the reservoir that are pertinent to its ability to store hydrocarbons and also to produce them. Reservoir characterization models ...

Oxide-closure model

Oil & gas; Oilfield

A model for converting relative elemental yields from a pulsed neutron spectroscopy log to absolute weight concentrations using the assumption that the sum of all oxides in the rock matrix is 1. The ...
