Abstract
An example method for performing reservoir engineering includes generating a geological model of a reservoir including a geological horizon, obtaining an offset relative to the geological horizon, and positioning a wellbore equipment item in a well completion design based on the offset. The method further includes calculating an absolute position of the wellbore equipment item in the well completion design based on the offset and a location of the geological horizon in the geological model and updating the geological model to generate an updated location of the geological horizon. The method further includes updating the absolute position of the wellbore equipment item in the well completion design based on the offset and the updated location of the geological horizon and simulating a simulation case including the geological model and the well completion design after updating the absolute position of the wellbore equipment item.
