A model of shaly formations that considers there to be two waters in the pore space: far water, which is the normal formation water; and near water (or clay-bound water) in the electrical double ...

reservoir characterization model

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 ...
