Three-Dimensional Modeling of Geomechanical Units Using Acoustic Impedance in One of the Gas Fields in South of Iran

Geomechanical modeling of a reservoir has a very important role in all parts of a field lifecycle. In this paper, we demonstrate a new method for modeling the distribution of elastic properties in the whole reservoir using the concept of geomechanical units (GMUs). In this study, a GMU is a cluster of Young's, Bulk and shear modulus, Poisson's Ratio and unconfined uniaxial strength. To establish these GMUs we used eight wells and the Post-stack...
