More Information
Summary:Techniques for evaluating hydrocarbon reserves using tool response models are provided. An example method includes measuring a first fluid distribution of a first formation proximate to a first wellbore and measuring a second fluid distribution of a second formation proximate to a second wellbore. The method further includes generating a first tool response model for the first formation based at least in part on the first fluid distribution and generating a second tool response model for the second formation based at least in part on the second fluid distribution. The method further includes comparing results of the first tool response model to results of the second tool response model to determine a fluid distribution difference between the first formation and the second formation and implementing a drilling command to alter drilling of one of the first and second wellbores based at least in part on the fluid distribution difference.
