1. n. [Reservoir Characterization]

The development of a reservoir model by the use of objects. Reservoir models can be developed by adding together a series of objects (such as channel belts) in a fashion that honors the well data (logs, cores, etc.) and that satisfies all the geostatistical requirements of the model. Such models can be used to simulate the behavior of the fluids in a reservoir.
