Spatial prediction with well and airborne geophysical data

该提案涉及创建麦克默里地层超过100万公顷面积的油砂资源的数字模型。这些数值模型应受到所有可用信息的约束。本研究提案所解决的关键研究挑战是考虑用航空地球物理观测补充直接井观测。虽然航空地球物理测量不能提供含油砂的麦克默里地层的准确或精确的特征，但指导开发更高质量区域的任何其他信息都具有很大的价值。这样做的好处将是更好地绘制各大领域的资源分布图，从而改进与发展优先事项和风险管理有关的决策。随着获得更多的油井和地球物理数据，可以重复采用本提案中提出的创新方法。一个清晰的画面，地下有利可图的和可持续的发展将出现。Petrel Robertson咨询有限公司将为其客户提供更多的数据和信息。这些研究成果的使用将有利于加拿大，促进最佳资源的开发，阻止边缘资源的开发。

This proposal addresses the creation of numerical models of oil sands resources over the more than one million hectare area of the McMurray Formation. These numerical models should be constrained by all available information. The key research challenge addressed by this research proposal is to consider supplementing the direct well observations with airborne geophysical observations. Although airborne geophysical measurements do not provide accurate or precise characterization of the oil sands bearing McMurray Formation, any additional information that guides development to areas of higher quality would have great value. The benefit will be improved mapping of resources over large areas that will lead to improved decisions related to development priorities and risk management. The innovative methodology developed in this proposal could be repeated as additional well and geophysical data becomes available. A clear picture of the subsurface for profitable and sustainable development will emerge. Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd. will have an enhanced offering of data and information for its clients. The use of these research results will benefit Canada by promoting development of the best resources and discouraging development of marginal resources.
