Abstract

A method for performing an oilfield operation on a reservoir, including: obtaining a user objective identifying the oilfield operation; obtaining a set of input data; selecting a workflow in response to the user objective, where the workflow comprises a build model module and a tune model module; generating a 1D model of the reservoir using the build module, where the 1D model includes multiple per unit of depth properties; generating a 3D model of the reservoir by distributing the plurality of per unit of depth properties in 3D; calibrating the 3D model using the tune model module, modular dynamic tester transient test data, and a historical response of the reservoir; forecasting a response of the reservoir to the set of input data by applying the first set of input data to the 3D model; and using the response to perform the oilfield operation.
