30 Carbonate Reservoirs Modeling terms

My topic is the learning of different ways to model carbonate reservoirs. This glossary is for better understanding and memorization of the words and phrases, connected with my research.

a bifurcation
noun
the division of something into two branches or parts.
Example: The model allows exploration of the impact of primary growth parameters: number of bifurcations (or branching), shrub height, angle of cone (or fan) inflation as well as subsequent inter-shrub cementation and dissolution, on resultant porosity, permeability, and multiphase flow.
en: раздвоение
a breakthrough
noun
a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.
Example: During this process, a few points were selected allowing to look at the breakthrough and end value as well as the trend by tracking the watercut parameter.v
en: прорыв
a constituent
noun
being a part of a whole.
Example: The existing, commonly used classification schemes discriminate the facies based on grain size, dominant constituent or dominant texture (the most widely used in the industry).
en: составляющая
a crest
noun
the top of a mountain or hill.
Example: The reservoir thickness ranges from ~200ft on the crest to ~150ft on the flank.
en: пик
a flank
noun
the side of a person's or animal's body between the ribs and the hip
Example: The reservoir thickness ranges from ~200ft on the crest to ~150ft on the flank.
en: крыло
a guidance
noun
advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority.
Example: Within each depositional facies region the diagenetic facies are distributed stochastically under the guidance of established diagenetic trends to capture possible local variations.
en: руководство
a loop
noun
a shape produced by a curve that bends around and crosses itself.
Example: The feedback loop from the dynamic model into the static model plays a key role in the model improvement.
en: виток
a slump
noun
a sudden severe or prolonged fall in the price, value, or amount of something.
Example: Step-2 : Slumping and time to water breakthrough in Lower zone
en: спад
an alignment
noun
arrangement in a straight line, or in correct or appropriate relative positions.
Example: The calibration of permeability logs and well tests was required in the beginning of the process to ensure the alignment between small scale and large scale data.
en: выравнивание
an assumption
noun
a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof
Example: Multiple iterations were performed between the static and dynamic models in a way that allowed a quick and efficient work that is consistent with all disciplines assumptions.
en: предположение
an overprint
noun
print additional matter on (a stamp or other surface already bearing print)
Example: Carbonate reservoirs can develop complexities due to diagenetic overprint which cause alterations in the properties of the original depositional facies, consequently increasing reservoir heterogeneities.
en: отпечаток, наложение, изменение
appropriate
adjective
suitable or proper in the circumstances
Example: The key to the applied modeling workflow lies in the appropriate facies classification scheme applied.
en: соответствующий
beyond
adverb
at or to the further side of something.
Example: The identification of core lithofacies typically requires information beyond the resolution offered by wireline logs.
en: за пределами
branching
adjective
bearing or sending out branches.
Example: Shrubby aggregates nucleate from a surface to form upward and outward-growing, branching, fascicular optical calcite crystal fans that are diverse in size and form.
en: разветвляющийся
conjugate
adjective
coupled, connected, or related
Example: Broadly similar lithologies are known from the Kwanza and Namibe basins in the conjugate margin of Angola
en: сопряженный
emergent
adjective
in the process of coming into being or becoming prominent.
Example: Rather than producing models validated to actual reservoir properties, this seeks to establish trends and identify emergent clustering behaviour.
en: возникающий
fascicular
adjective
of, relating to, or consisting of fascicles or fasciculi
Example: Shrubby aggregates nucleate from a surface to form upward and outward-growing, branching, fascicular optical calcite crystal fans that are diverse in size and form.
en: пучковый
hence
adverb
as a consequence; for this reason.
Example: Hence the resulting images can be unrealistic and unreliable in predictions.
en: следовательно
inherited
adjective
(of a quality, characteristic, or predisposition) derived genetically from one's parents or ancestors.
Example: Carbonate rocks often show highly heterogeneous and tortuous pore networks compared to simpler granular rocks (such as sandstone) due to the high complexity inherited from both depositional and diagenetic processes.
en: унаследованный
lacustrine
adjective
relating to or associated with lakes.
Example: The Cretaceous Barra Velha Formation (‘Pre-Salt’) of the Santos Basin, Brazil, includes lacustrine crystal-shrub limestones which represent important hydrocarbon reservoirs.
en: озерный
likewise
adverb
in the same way; also.
Example: Likewise, conversion from porosity to multi-phase flow properties is far from straightforward.
en: так же
plunged
adjective
jumped or dived quickly and energetically.
Example: This field is a faulted elongated doubly plunged anticline with the longer axis trending roughly northeast-southwest.
en: погруженный
robust
adjective
strong and healthy; vigorous.
Example: It is always challenging to get a robust history matched model aligned with geological concepts and dynamic behavior understanding.
en: надежный
straightforward
adjective
uncomplicated and easy to do or understand
Example: Likewise, conversion from porosity to multi-phase flow properties is far from straightforward.
en: простой
to divert
verb
cause (someone or something) to change course or turn from one direction to another.
Example: In this study, in particular, diverting from the usual Dunham classification scheme has provided the advantage and freedom of being able to incorporate more information about the rock final state and texture into its nomenclature.
en: отвлечь
to ensure
verb
make certain that (something) shall occur or be the case.
Example: The calibration of permeability logs and well tests was required in the beginning of the process to ensure the alignment between small scale and large scale data.
en: гарантировать
to incorporate
verb
take in or contain (something) as part of a whole; include.
Example: The main objective is to build an integrated 3D static model that incorporates carbonate sequence stratigraphic zonation scheme.
en: включать
to rely on
verb
depend on with full trust or confidence
Example: Hence, petrophysical properties should rely directly on the type of facies.
en: полагаться на
tortuous
adjective
full of twists and turns.
Example: Carbonate rocks often show highly heterogeneous and tortuous pore networks compared to simpler granular rocks (such as sandstone) due to the high complexity inherited from both depositional and diagenetic processes.
en: извилистый
vital
adjective
absolutely necessary or important; essential.
Example: Being a vital step, it was necessary to make sure that all the required information was recorded in the facies classification.
en: жизненно важный
