Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for identifying productive reservoir layers. Model input data from an exploration and producing (E&P) database is parameterized by identifying numerical relationships between qualitative model input data and dynamic model qualification data. Execution results from executing five model methodologies are combined using the parameterized model input data: a multimineral (MM) petrophysical evaluation model, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) model, a shaly sand analysis model, a resistivity image log analysis model, and a neutron spectroscopy for rock quality indices model. Productive reservoir layers are identified by integrating outputs of the five model methodologies. Geosteering, while drilling in layers, is restricted to the identified productive reservoir layers.
