Welcome to ERGOTM

Decision Support for Static Reservoir Modelling

ERGOTM takes a novel new approach to the selection of analogues for use in reservoir modelling. ERGOTM has been designed to:

  • Allows users to generate more geologically reasonable and accurate subsets of analogue data for a particular modelling problem.
  • Improve understanding of sedimentology and reservoir geology within areas of the modelling community.
  • Improve understanding of some aspects of reservoir modelling within the geological community.

To do this, ERGOTM provides the following:

  • Access to the most comprehensive commercially available database of reservoir geometry data.
  • A unique system of attribution allowing the user to query the database and select the most appropriate subset of analogue data for a modelling scenario.
  • A comprehensive introduction to sedimentary geology with a specific emphasis on the implications for reservoir modelling.

The ERGO database includes reservoir geometry information gathered from a wide variety of public domain, proprietary (in-house), and remotely sensed sources. In addition, the geometry data are enriched with sophisticated attribution, based on both published and proprietary datasets. The attribution makes use of global palaeoclimatic and palaeotectonic information, and provides a means of querying the underlying geometric data to ensure that appropriate analogue datasets are used when static reservoir models are being constructed. The front-end application provides seamless access to the underlying database and a means of interrogating, selecting, subsetting and exploring the data.

In addition, ERGO provides a sophisticated introduction to sedimentary geology with a specific emphasis on the implications for reservoir modelling. The goal is to provide reservoir modellers and other geoscientists with an understanding of the specialist sedimentology and reservoir geology knowledge required to build more accurate and more geologically reasonable static reservoir models.
