A New Perspective on Oil & Gas 3D Visualization

P2 Energy Solutions

This is a display of bird’s-eye and subsurface three-dimensional views of the Gueydan, Louisiana, oil field in Vermilion Parish. This field produces mainly from reservoir horizons that flank the central salt diapiric structure.

The model shows the integration of surface and subsurface reservoir map layers, faults and wells, and the importance of GIS mapping today to visualize complicated geological subsurface settings. This 3D model of well and directional well surveys illustrates the importance of accurate land management, reservoir well positioning, predrill evaluation of potential wellbore collisions, and so forth, in the development of oil and gas fields. The ease in generating zoomed-in and detailed graphics on individual reservoir fault-separated pools shows the great value of GIS visualization to the oil and gas interpretation and management community.
