| About RQL |
| The Reservoir Quantification Laboratory, RQL, was established in 2005 by Fred Hilterman and Gennady Goloshubin. Initial support came from a Department of Energy Project and oil-industry sponsorship. On Fred's retirement in 2008, Christopher Liner became Director and John Castagna joined as co-PI. |
| Mission Statement |
| The RQL mission is to develop new and novel techniques for recognizing potential hydrocarbon reservoirs and then predicting the composition of the reservoir (characterization). |
| Philosophy |
| With a better quantitative understanding of the physical processes that effect the transmission and reflection of seismic amplitude, a more accurate characterization of the porosity, permeability, fluid saturation, thickness, etc. for the various compartments of a reservoir will follow. |
