We discuss petrophysical analysis of wireline logs, methods for formation evaluation and issues in evaluating tight sandstone formations. The main concerns of log interpretation in tight gas sandstones include porosity interpretation, understanding the effect of clay on the log responses, accurate computation of water saturation, and permeability determination (Kukal et al., 1985). Moreover, va...

The power of Machine Learning is demonstrated for automatic interpretation well logs and determining reservoir properties volume shale, porosity, water saturation respectively tight clastic sequences. Random Forest algorithms are reputed their efficiency as they belong to a class called ensemble methods, which traditionally seen weak learners, but can be transformed into strong performers promi...

different methods exist for the zonation of oil reservoirs based on petrophysical data and well logs. among them are: permeability-porosity cross polt, pickett and soder and gill methods. in this study a statistical zonation technique has been used for the marun and pazanan oil reservoirs in iran based on effective porosity, density, sonic, neutron and resistivity data. petrophysical interpreta...

estimation of reservoir water saturation (sw) is one of the main tasks in well logging. many empirical equations are available, which are, more or less, based on archie equation. the present study is an application of radial basis function neural network (rbfnn) modeling for estimation of water saturation responses in a carbonate reservoir. four conventional petrophysical logs (pls) including d...

Abstract—Well logging records can help to answer many questions from a wide range of special interested information and basic petrophysical properties to formation evaluation of oil and gas reservoirs. The accurate calculations of porosity in carbonate reservoirs are the most challenging aspects of the well logging analysis. Many equations have been developed over the years based on known physi...

The complex interplay between depositional facies and diagenesis in dolostones presents numerous challenges for calculating petrophysical properties from wireline logs. Complex pore geometries and mineralogies control rock petrophysical properties, and equations for calculating porosities and saturations must therefore be tailored to specific pore geometry-mineralogy combinations. The complex m...

the permeability is a main property of oil reservoirs that shows the ability of rocks in the conduct of fluids such as oil, water and gas through the pore spaces of reservoir. the determination of the permeability is a crucial task in reserve estimation, production and development of oil reservoirs. due to this, an accurate estimate of such important reservoir rock parameter should not be made ...

One of the main challenges of geostatistics in reservoir characterization is to populate a portion of 3-D earth model with its petrophysical properties. This operation must be carried out while still honoring the information available along well logs: in our jargon, we say that it must be conditional. No restriction is required on this conditioning information, either in number or in its geomet...
