Study of Hydrocarbon Saturation by Geophysical Methods

چکیده
The contamination of soil and groundwater by LNAPLs is a problem that has been treated over several years, because, they are used in the industrial worldwide. Its location and behavior in the subsurface has been monitored through invasive methods that disturb the environment and they are costly. In this sense, we integrated a noninvasive hydrogeophysical method as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) with chemical analysis (Infrared Spectrophotometry) to localize contaminant distribution and quantify TPH concentrations . For this purpose, we made a 2D hydrogeophysical experiment in a sand box saturated by diesel in which we validated this methodology.

Accurate estimation of hydrocarbon volume in a reservoir is important due to future development and investment on that reservoir. Estimation of Oil and Gas reservoirs continues from exploration to end of reservoir time life and is usual upstream engineer’s involvements. In this study we tried to make reservoir properties models (porosity and water saturation) and estimate reservoir volume hydro...
متن کاملApplication of TDA technique to estimate the hydrocarbon saturation using MRIL Data: A Case study for a Southern Iranian Oilfield
Petrophysical evaluation of petroleum reservoirs is one of the most challenging tasks for hydrocarbon reserve determination. One critical petrophysical parameter is the water saturation which is normally calculated from Archie’s equation. Carbonate reservoirs, however, due to their complex mineralogy are not good candidates for Archie’s equation because Archie’s parameters are strongly dependen...
متن کاملAn Integrated Geophysical Approach for Porosity and Facies Determination: A Case Study of Tamag Field of Niger Delta Hydrocarbon Province
Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...

It is common knowledge in the oil industry that the typical cost of drilling a new ooshore well is in the range of $30-40 million, but the chance of that site being an economic success is 1 in 10. Recent advances in drilling technology and data collection methods have led to oil companies and their ancillary companies collecting large amounts of geophysical/geological data from production wells...
متن کاملAn 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...
