吸取他人成功的经验和借鉴别人失败的教训 ,对石油工业尤为重要。以如何运用类比为话题 ,对 6个国家 2 1家石油公司与地球科学家、油藏工程师和勘探开发经理们进行了广泛的采访和调研 ,获得了有关类比的应用范围、类比资料的来源、应用类比的过程以及如何避免滥用类比等方面的宝贵的第一手材料。其中两项主要结果是 :① 2 /3被采访的石油公司认为在全球范围内“撒网”类比 ,来寻找高质量的油气田 ,对降低勘探风险和优化油田开发决策至关重要 ;只有不到 1/3的公司在勘探评价和选定开发方案时只参考其工作区附近的油气井、油气藏或油气田资料。②尽管地震资料常常被作为决策的决定性信息 ,但绝大部分地质师和油藏工程师认为 ,是类比油气田为他们提供了成功进行勘探开发所需要的详细资料和思路 ,并且帮助他们加深了对关键参数的理解。调研结果显示 :高质量的类比确实有助于降低勘探风险 ,可以帮助油藏工程师优化油气田开发方案 Drawing on the successes of others and lessons learned from the failures of others is of particular importance to the oil industry. Based on how to use analogy, we conducted extensive interviews and investigations with 21 oil companies in 6 countries, geoscientists, reservoir engineers and exploration and development managers. We got the application scope of analogy, the sources of analog data, Analogy of the process and how to avoid the abuse of analogy and other valuable first-hand materials. Two of the main findings are: ① Two-thirds of the oil companies interviewed considered “netting” analogies around the world to find high-quality oil and gas fields that are crucial to reducing exploration risks and optimizing oilfield development decisions; One-third of companies reference only wells, reservoirs, or fields near their work area for exploration evaluation and selected development options. (2) Although seismic data are often used as decisive information for decision making, most geologists and reservoir engineers believe that analogous oil and gas fields provide them with detailed information and ideas for successful exploration and development and help them deepen their understanding of the key Parameter understanding. The survey results show that high-quality analogy does help reduce exploration risk and can help reservoir engineers optimize oil and gas field development programs
