[ 1 ] - Application 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...

[ 2 ] - Permeability estimation from the joint use of stoneley wave velocity and support vector machine neural networks: a case study of the Cheshmeh Khush Field, South Iran

Accurate permeability estimation has always been a concern in determining flow units, assigning appropriate capillary pressure andrelative permeability curves to reservoir rock types, geological modeling, and dynamic simulation.Acoustic method can be used as analternative and effective tool for permeability determination. In this study, a four-step approach is proposed for permeability estimati...

[ 3 ] - Development of a mechanical earth model in an Iranian off-shore gas field

Wellbore instability is a quite common event during drilling, and causes many problems such as stuck pipe and lost circulation. It is primarily due to the inadequate understanding of the rock properties, pore pressure, and earth stress environment prior to well construction. This study aims to use the existing relevant logs, drilling, and other data from offset wells to construct a precise mech...
