Reservoir modelingIn the oil and gas industry, reservoir modeling involves the construction of a computer model of a petroleum reservoir, for the purposes of improving estimation of reserves and making decisions regarding the development of the field, predicting future production, placing additional wells and evaluating alternative reservoir management scenarios. A reservoir model represents the physical space of the reservoir by an array of discrete cells, delineated by a grid which may be regular or irregular.
Génie pétrolierthumb|Étudiants en génie pétrolier en stage sur une plate-forme pétrolière. Le génie pétrolier est une branche de l’ingénierie consacrée à la production des hydrocarbures, que ce soit à partir du pétrole brut ou du gaz naturel. Le travail de forage et de pompage proprement dit constitue la branche « amont » des industries gazière et pétrolière : il s'agit de la recherche et de l'extraction des hydrocarbures. Le raffinage et la distribution constituent, eux, la branche « aval ».
Tableau (statistique)A table is an arrangement of information or data, typically in rows and columns, or possibly in a more complex structure. Tables are widely used in communication, research, and data analysis. Tables appear in print media, handwritten notes, computer software, architectural ornamentation, traffic signs, and many other places. The precise conventions and terminology for describing tables vary depending on the context. Further, tables differ significantly in variety, structure, flexibility, notation, representation and use.
