Optimization of reservoir parameters is an important issue in petroleum exploration and production. The Ant Colony Optimization(ACO) is a recent approach to solve discrete and continuous optimization problems. In this paper, the Ant Colony Optimization is usedas an intelligent tool to estimate reservoir rock properties. The methodology is illustrated by using a case study on shear wave velocity...

Electrical conductivity is an important petroleum reservoir parameter because of its sensitivity to porosity, pore fluid type, and saturation. Although induction logs are widely used to obtain the conductivity near boreholes, the poor resolution offered by surfacebased electrical and electromagnetic (EM) field systems has thus far limited obtaining this information in the region between borehol...

Artificial Intelligence plays an increasingly important role in many industrial applications as it has great potential for solving complex engineering problems. One of such is the optimization petroleum reservoirs production. It crucial to produce hydrocarbons efficiently their geological resources are limited. From economic point view, hydrocarbon well control factor affects whole market. The ...

the oudna field part of the offshore northeastern tunisia, straddles between two structural domains, the tunisian atlas to the north and the pelagian sea to the south. the study of this field has confirmed adequate petroleum system in fahdene formations (albian-cenomanian) and birsa (serravallian) resulting from the combination of several sedimentary, tectonic and thermal factors. to do this, w...
