In this paper, I introduce a new mathematical model of the IP effect based on the effective-medium theory, which provides a unified mathematical method to study heterogeneity, multi-phase structure, and polarizability of rocks. The geoelectrical parameters of a new composite conductivity model are determined by the intrinsic petrophysical and geometrical characteristics of composite media: mine...

In order to accurately predict geomechanical parameters of oil-bearing reservoirs and influencing factors volumetric fracturing, a new method parameter prediction combining seismic inversion, well logging interpretation production data is proposed in this paper. Herein, we present structure model, petrophysical model model. Moreover, three-dimensional typical reservoir was established corrected...

Shale reservoirs, the most important unconventional resource, are difficult to characterize. formations require detailed interpretation of geological, petrophysical, and geochemical analyses, an integration these disciplines. In terms geological interpretation, commonly used sequence stratigraphy analysis includes a lithofacies analysis. The application shales facilitates ability relate between...

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...

Several methodologies published in the literature can be used to construct realistic pore networks for simple rocks, whereas in complex pore geometry formations, as formed in tight reservoirs, such a construction still remains a challenge. A basic understanding of pore structure and topology is essential to overcome the challenges associated with the pore scale modeling of tight porous media. A...

Complexities in pore scale structure, rock-fluid and fluid-fluid interactions have a profound effect on the estimation of reserves, reservoir recovery and productivity in reservoir core material. These complexities determine the pore scale distribution of fluids within the pore space, which, in turn, determine the petrophysical response of the rock. A very important example is the estimation of...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) diffusion-relaxation correlation experiments (D-T2) are widely used for the petrophysical characterisation of rocks saturated with petroleum fluids both in situ and for laboratory analyses. The encoding for both diffusion and relaxation offers increased fluid typing contrast by discriminating fluids based on their self-diffusion coefficients, while relaxation ti...

Petrophysical parameters such as porosity, water and oil saturations, formation resistivity factor, etc. describe the storage capability of the porous media or the capacity of rocks to hold fluids. The modified Archie’s equation . / . , also called the saturation equation, is used to determine the water saturation. Archie’s parameters, namely , , and , are sometimes assumed constant to simp...
