TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented examples of unique ExxonMobil drilling and subsurface technology and showed that the maximum business impact is realized only when each technology is integrated into the larger drilling and sub-surface workflow and moved from the research lab to the operational environment.
Abstract: ExxonMobil has a strong commitment to developing and utilizing drilling and subsurface research. Previous presentations have discussed examples of unique ExxonMobil drilling and subsurface technology. However, while individual technologies give benefit incrementally, maximum business impact is realized only when each technology is integrated into the larger drilling and subsurface workflow and moved from the research lab to the operational environment. Furthermore, the resulting software implementation must be technologically sound and usable in the context of drilling and subsurface workflows to be of business value.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the common reservoir types from a geological viewpoint, the fluids contained within the reservoir, the principal methods of data gathering, and the ways in which the data is interpreted.
Abstract: Publisher Summary The success of oil and gas field development is largely determined by the reservoir's size, complexity, productivity, and the type and quantity of fluids it contains It is observed that in order to optimize a development plan, the characteristics of the reservoir must be well defined However, the level of information available is often significantly less than that required for an accurate description of the reservoir and the estimates of the real situation needs to be made It is generally difficult for surface engineers to understand the origin of uncertainty, with which the subsurface engineer must work This chapter explores what controls the uncertainties, and how the data is gathered and interpreted in order to form a model of the subsurface reservoir The chapter essentially discusses the common reservoir types from a geological viewpoint, the fluids contained within the reservoir, the principal methods of data gathering, and the ways in which the data is interpreted
