Abstract
Embodiments include constructing a reservoir model of an earth formation. The method may also include selecting a predetermined set of fundamental parameters to describe the earth formation and assigning initial values for the predetermined set of fundamental parameters for each of the plurality of layers. The method may include using the initial values for each of the plurality of layers. The method may include computing physical-response-relevant properties as a function of space and time for each of the plurality of layers using the solutions and then computing tool responses using the physical-response-relevant properties. The method may include installing an electrode array between an insulation portion of a metal casing provided in a borehole and a physical formation and obtaining formation measurement information from the electrode array, comparing the formation measurement information to the computed tool response to obtain an error signal and modifying the initial values in an iterative process.
