Petrophysical data of the Volve data is available in the Well_logs folder of the dataset. The data is available as raw and processed well log data files along with interpretation reports. We will be using the Welly Python Library to import and process the Well logs. A newer well log format - the JSON well log - will used to instead of the other formats

SIMULATION MODEL PROPS and REGIONS Section Description – Part 3/5
This section contains the pressure and saturation dependent properties of the simulation dataset. This would generally include fluid PVT properties, rock compressibility and saturation values for the grid.
Setup VirtualBox, OPM-Flow Simulator and ResInsight to run the Volve Oilfield Model
OPM-Flow is an open source fully implicit, black oil reservoir simulator developed under the Open Porous Media Initiative. The simulator is based on a Linux workspace and requires the installation of a virtual-box in windows based machines. We’ll be using this simulator for our simulation and visualization of the Volve oilfield model.
The Initial Production Strategy
The Volve Oilfield was planned to have a life of about 7 years before attaining an economic limit of 2100 m3/d (13,209 STB/d) oil based on a benchmark oil price of $18.7/barrel. Three production wells, three water injection wells, and production facilities from the Sleipner field were to be used to drain 11.4 Million (71.706 MMSTB) of oil reserves. ...

Core Description – Mineralogy and Petrology
Statoils Geological Laboratory performed whole rock X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Petrographic point count, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis on cored intervals of the 15/9-19 SR Well. The analysis characterizes the mineralogy and petrography of these sandstone units and evaluates their controls on reservoir quality. ...

Drill Stem Test Interpretation – The Math
The plots and equations that quantify the Drill stem well test interpretation for the discovery well 15-9/19-SR are presented here.
The Horner plot for the main build up period
The Horner plot meant to study for the main build up period. The time function is also called Horner time is: ...
Drill stem test
Before we get into the pressure transient analysis, let us understand some basics of drill stem testing.
Drill stem testing is an oil and gas exploration procedure to isolate, stimulate and flow a downhole formation to determine the fluids present and the rate at which they can be produced. ...
