Rock physics models allow establishing a physical-mathematical relation between rock and fluid properties and geophysical attributes. In this study, we propose to apply rock physics models to a geophysical dataset measured at two well locations near the proposed Snake River Plain FORGE site in eastern Idaho. The potential target is a rhyolite layer, which occurs between 2,000 and 3,000 m. The a...

Evaluation of hydrocarbon reservoir requires classification of petrophysical properties from available dataset. However, characterization of reservoir attributes is difficult due to the nonlinear and heterogeneous nature of the subsurface physical properties. In this context, present study proposes a generalized one class classification framework based on Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) ...

Hydraulic fracturing and matrix stimulation are two major methods of the reservoir stimulation. Hydraulic fracturing, which is the newest technique and technically more complex, is very useful in low permeability reservoirs. Although it has been used widely in hydrocarbon production wells, it is a new method in Iran. In this paper, the effect of sufficient barrier layers on hydraulic fracturing...

Farnsworth Field Unit (FWU), a mature oilfield currently undergoing CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the northeastern Texas panhandle, is study area for an extensive project undertaken by Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration (SWP). SWP characterizing field and monitoring modeling injection fluid flow processes with intent of verifying storage CO2 timeframe 100–1000 years. Co...

Permeability and capillary pressures are important petrophysical properties. Permeability is one of the most important parameters for reservoir management and development. Capillary pressure data have been widely used in evaluating reservoir rock, sealing capacity, transition zone thickness, pay versus non pay, and absolute and relative permeability. We are working in this study modification tw...

the spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most importantfactors in reservoir characterization. flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoirvolume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. accordingly, anaccurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description of a...

Petrophysical properties of geothermal reservoir rocks are valuable information for many activities, including reservoir characterization, modelling, field test analysis and planning of exploitation techniques. Petrophysical data of rocks from geothermal reservoirs located in volcanic areas is in general very scarce. In particular, no petrophysical data of rocks from the Los Azufres geothermal ...

this paper proposes a two-step approach for characterizing the reservoir properties of the world’s largest non-associated gas reservoir. this approach integrates geological and petrophysical data and compares them with the field performance analysis to achieve a practical electrofacies clustering. porosity and permeability prediction is done on the basis of linear functions, succeeding the elec...

Abstract We investigated the source rock potential, sequence stratigraphy, and characterized hydrocarbon reservoirs at Otumara field, Niger delta, using integrated 3D seismic, wireline log analysis, basin modeling. The burial history thermal maturity were modeled, delineated, petrophysical parameters also estimated from logs. Passey “ΔLog R ” method for estimating preliminary evaluations of tot...
