Abstract
Reservoir characterization plays a fundamental part in the development and/or appraisal of any hydrocarbon field. Understanding and quantifying the characteristics and distribution of the reservoir rock properties is an evaluation step that needs to be performed before starting any reservoir model. An accurate description of the reservoir is vital to help appropriately manage and optimize oil recovery. From core to seismic scale, any relevant piece of information should be integrated in order to reduce uncertainties, and optimize understanding of the final flow behaviour and fluid distribution inside the reservoir. The goal of the final geomodel is to obtain consistent properties that are driven by the geological facies models (including depositional facies and diagenesis; reservoir rock types) and trended by the seismic information.
