==Procedure for reservoir system analysis==
==Procedure for reservoir system analysis==
Below is a suggested procedure for reservoir system analysis.
Below is a suggested procedure for reservoir system analysis:
# Select a key well(s) for detailed petrophysical analysis (see [[Petrophysical analysis of lithofacies]]).
# Subdivide the reservoir in the key well(s) into flow units (see [[Flow units for reservoir characterization]]).
# Determine pore type for each flow unit in the key well using [[core description]]s, [[Thin section analysis|thin section]] and [[Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)|scanning electron microscopy]] analysis, [[porosity]]/[[permeability]]–[[Characterizing_rock_quality#What_is_r35.3F|r<sub>35</sub>]] analysis, [[Water saturation]] –depth plot, [[Buckles plot]], etc.
# Construct stratigraphic [[strike]] and [[dip]] [[cross section]]s that include the key well. Use a region/fieldwide time marker at the top of the reservoir as the datum.
# Subdivide the reservoir interval of each well into flow units.
# Correlate [[Flow units for reservoir characterization|flow units]] between wells and subdivide the reservoir into containers by determining which flow units interact during drainage.
# Determine hydrocarbon volume by computing the volume of pay by flow unit for each container.
# Predict performance in terms of recovery amount and time by incorporating the above analysis with expected fluid properties and drive mechanism (see [[Drive mechanisms and recovery]]). Predictions should compare well with performance of analog reservoir systems.
