The main objective of the project is for a university-industry consortium, spearheaded by the Michigan Technological University, to develop a comprehensive model for fractured carbonate reservoirs using the Michigan Basin as a prototype. The model is based on the ?data cube? concept and each data cube has different types of data, such as location, geological, engineering and hydrocarbon logs, etc. Accordingly, one of the primary tasks of this project is to acquire data from the state's 50,000 gas and oil wells and compile the data in a digital format in order to draw upon the data and results of past exploration and studies of the Michigan Basin. Advantage has been taken of the recent advances in computers and software to automate plots and generate data of interest from the database of oil and gas wells in the Michigan basin. Advanced visualization software has been used to fuse and image the data on a variety of scales, ranging from basin-scale to well-scale.
