Dicano 4D v1.6.2.1: Integrating 4D Seismic and Reservoir Simulation
Dicano 4D v1.6.2.1 is a specialized software solution designed for the integration and quantitative analysis of 4D (time-lapse) seismic data with reservoir simulation models. It serves as a critical tool for reservoir engineers and geophysicists to validate dynamic models, reduce uncertainty, and optimize field development strategies by directly comparing what the simulator predicts with what the seismic data observes over time.
Key Features & Capabilities
1. 4D Seismic & Simulation Integration
-
Dynamic Model Validation: Compare multiple 4D seismic surveys against reservoir simulation predictions to identify mismatches and improve history matching.
-
Quantitative Interpretation: Convert simulation results (e.g., pressure, saturation changes) into synthetic seismic responses and compare them directly with real 4D seismic data.
2. Advanced Visualization & Analysis
-
Multi-Volume Comparison: Visualize and analyze differences between simulated and observed 4D effects in 2D, 3D, and cross-plot views.
-
Attribute Analysis: Calculate and compare key 4D seismic attributes to understand the dynamics of fluid movement and pressure changes in the reservoir.
3. Streamlined History Matching Workflow
-
Mismatch Quantification: Identify areas where the simulation model does not agree with the 4D seismic data, providing specific targets for model updating.
-
Decision Support: Provides a clear, data-driven basis for updating reservoir simulation models, leading to more reliable production forecasts.
