A system and method for automated reservoir targeting

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Methods and systems for reservoir targeting the systems implementing methods , comprising filtering a plurality of values in a three-dimensional model to eliminate values which are below a threshold to create a filtered threedimensional model; developing a first matrix from the filtered threedimensional model representing a two-dimensional model of the reservoir wherein the first matrix includes a plurality of cell center locations cell , areas, and the plurality of values; developing a second matrix from the first matrix using a distance-weighted sum of the plurality of values; and selecting target locations from the second matrix based on the distance-weighted sum of the plurality of …
