Improved water saturation estimation in shaly sandstone through variable cementation factor

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Estimation of water saturation, S w , in shaly sandstone is an intricate process. The surface conduction clay minerals adds up to the electrolyte pore spaces, thus generating high formation conductivity that overshadows hydrocarbon effect. In each resistivity-based saturation model, key parameter factor, F which typically derived from Archie’s Law. Referring a log–log plot between factor and porosity, cementation reflects slope straight line abiding case sandstone, derivation based on Law combination with Waxman–Smits equation leads higher m* . parts reservoir, counterbalanced by conductivity. Nonetheless, used clean increases estimation. this study, variable introduced into standard correlation versus Resistivity Index, RI develop model parameters. Data retrieved two fields yielded mean arctangent absolute percentage error (MAAPE) were analysed determine difference calculated measured data within 0.01–0.15 range for method. conventional method maximum MAAPE at 0.46.

An Improvement in Cation Exchange Capacity Estimation and Water Saturation Calculation in Shaly Layers for One of Iranian Oil Fields

Water saturation and cation exchange capacity are the most significant parameters used to calculate a hydrocarbon zone potential. In clean formations, by applying the famous Archie model, which assumes that in the formation the only electric conductor is the formation water, the water saturation can be calculated. Additionally, in shaly sand formations this assumption may not be true as the ion...

Improvement of Water Saturation and Formation Factor Parameters in a Clastic Reservoir, Zagros Basin, SW Iran

Water saturation (Sw) is one of the most important petro-physical parameter for evaluating the clastic horizons of hydrocarbon reservoir, which can be calculated using Archie's equation. The Archie's parameters (m, a) are the major source of uncertainty in the calculation of Sw. In order to obtain Archie's parameters, a total number of 117 sandstone samples, having resistivity measurements from...

A New Approach to Measuring Cementation Factor by Using an Intelligent System

Cementation factor is a critical parameter, which affects water saturation calculation. In carbonate rocks, due to the sensitivity of this parameter to pore type, water saturation estimation has associated with high inaccuracy. Hence developing a reliable mathematical strategy to determine these properties accurately is of crucial importance. To this end, genetic algorithm pattern search is emp...

Comparison of residual oil cluster size distribution, morphology and saturation in oil-wet and water-wet sandstone.

We imaged an oil-wet sandstone at residual oil saturation (S(or)) conditions using X-ray micro-tomography with a nominal voxel size of (9 μm)(3) and monochromatic light from a synchrotron source. The sandstone was rendered oil-wet by ageing with a North Sea crude oil to represent a typical wettability encountered in hydrocarbon reservoirs. We measured a significantly lower S(or) for the oil-wet...
