👉 Fisher engineering is a method used in the oil and gas industry to estimate the quantity of hydrocarbons (oil, gas, and condensate) present in a reservoir. Developed by George Fisher in the 1940s, this technique primarily relies on seismic data and well logs to model the subsurface geology. By analyzing the reflections of sound waves (seismic data) and the physical properties of the rock formations (well logs), Fisher engineering creates a detailed 3D representation of the reservoir. This model helps engineers predict the distribution and flow of hydrocarbons, aiding in the design of drilling operations and production strategies. The process involves several steps, including data acquisition, seismic interpretation, reservoir modeling, and simulation, ultimately providing a comprehensive understanding of the reservoir's potential and guiding efficient resource extraction.
