Unpacking Distance Points in Geological Modeling with COHIBA Petrel 🌐
When it comes to geological modeling, "distance points" are essential tools that significantly enhance our understanding of subsurface structures. But what exactly are these points, how are they obtained, and what are their practical uses?
What Are Distance Points?
Distance points represent the vertical distance between a specific location along a well path and a geological surface of interest. They are a direct measurement of the thickness of a geological layer or the void space above it.
How Are They Obtained?
These points are typically acquired using resistivity logging-while-drilling (LWD) tools. As drilling progresses, measurements are taken in real-time, providing continuous data on the geological features adjacent to the well bore.
What Are They Used For?
Distance points are useful in calibrating and validating geological models, ensuring that predictions about the depth of geological layers are accurate. They play a critical role in reservoir evaluation, where an accurate understanding of layer thickness is essential for estimating hydrocarbon volumes.
Usage in COHIBA
Within COHIBA software, these points are integrated to adjust and refine modeled geological surfaces. COHIBA leverages this data to ensure that the created surfaces are in precise alignment with actual observations, enhancing the accuracy of reservoir models.
