Recently, the utilization of the marine CSEM method has shifted from petroleum exploration to active monitoring due to increased environmental concerns related to hydrocarbon production. In this study, we utilize the various dynamic reservoir properties available through reservoir simulation of the Wisting field in the Norwegian part of the Barents Sea. In detail, we first developed geologically consistent rock physics models corresponding to reservoirs at different production phases, and then transformed them into resistivity models. The constructed resistivity models pertaining to different production phases can be used as input models for a finite difference time domain (FDTD) forward modeling workflow to simulate EM responses. This synthetic CSEM data can be studied and analyzed in the light of production-induced changes in the reservoir at different production phases. Our results demonstrate the ability of CSEM data to detect and capture production-induced changes in the fluid content of a producing hydrocarbon reservoir. The anomalous CSEM responses correlating to the reservoir resistivity change increase with the advance of the production phase, and a similar result is shown in anomalous transverse resistance (ATR) maps derived from the constructed resistivity models. Moreover, the responses at 30 Hz with a 3000 m offset resulted in the most pronounced anomalies at the Wisting reservoir. Hence, the method can effectively be used for production-monitoring purposes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23167197","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,16]],"date-time":"2023-08-16T10:09:33Z","timestamp":1692180573000},"page":"7197","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Time-Lapse 3D CSEM for Reservoir Monitoring Based on Rock Physics Simulation of the Wisting Oil Field Offshore Norway"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3477-0413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed","family":"Ettayebi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Systems, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6573-840X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shunguo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Systems, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Landr\u00f8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Systems, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75A67","DOI":"10.1190\/1.3483451","article-title":"Ten Years of Marine CSEM for Hydrocarbon Exploration","volume":"75","author":"Constable","year":"2010","journal-title":"Geophysics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Li, Y., Slob, E., Werthm\u00fcller, D., Wang, L., and Lu, H.
