Blackrock Modelling Pty Ltd

Knowledge Base

Principal consultant Paul Champ, having built over 80 separate static geomodels as a senior geomodelling consultant, has a wide range of international experience and has developed a knowledge base of reservoir characterisation techniques and methods for many different classifications of oil and gas fields. These models have incorporated fluvial channel sandstone reservoirs, deltaic and shallow marine environments, on-lapping and truncated multi-reservoir systems, incised channel reservoir modelling, advanced object modelling and channel geometries, heavy oil to tight gas fields, carbonate reservoirs, onshore, offshore, deepwater and shallow target fields, gas storage, complex structural regimes, complex fault intersection and truncated faulting.

It is from this experience in all types of reservoirs that Paul has developed many robust and technically sound modelling methodologies and workflows, that have been targeted to the specific field and setting to ensure that the geology and well data provided has been properly represented in the 3D static geomodel.

3D geocellular modelling also involves many facets of troubleshooting and problem solving and involves levels of lateral thinking required when working in 3D space. From this range of invaluable experience we can provide many solutions and alternatives, utilising the flexibility of current modelling software to ensure your models are robust, comprehensive and technically defendable.

BRM can provide a geomodelling consultant that will listen, understand, initiate, generate and deliver a solution to your reservoir characterisation or optimisation needs.
