Abstract

Reservoir segmentation and characterization are required for intuitive visualization of reservoir connectivity. An improved understanding of connectivity can deliver critical insights on how various parts of a reservoir interact with each other and evolve the understanding on how local variability may impact reservoir performance. This has historically proven challenging to achieve because of the fuzzy nature of compartments and the difficulties to intuitively assess the interactions between many compartments at once. Therefore, a gap seems to exist for effective visualization methods, which aim at rendering the connectivity within segmented reservoirs. Such visualizations would traditionally rely on streamlines, but they can quickly clutter the rendering as the complexity of the reservoir increases.
