Multi-dimensional and multi-variable heterogeneous petrophysical reservoir models were constructed based on stochastic analysis of well logs. With a full wave form visco-elastic finite difference modeling software, a numerical experiment (cross borehole survey) was conducted to study the impact of Pand S-wave scattering, wave mode conversion, leaky mode mechanism and their integration on the ap...

At the Centre for X-ray Tomography of the Ghent University (Belgium) (www.ugct.ugent.be) besides hardware development for high-resolution X-ray CT scanners, a lot of progress is being made in the field of 3D analysis of the scanned samples. Morpho+ is a flexible 3D analysis software which provides the necessary petrophysical parameters of the scanned samples in 3D. Although Morpho+ was original...

In this study, we apply advanced numerical optimization techniques to extend the work of Imhof and Sharma (2005, 2006) to integrate geological and geophysical data and infer the sedimentary parameters that produce a match to seismic data. In particular, we seek to match not just event timing (phase) but also reflection strength (amplitude). This inverse problem of quantitatively matching presen...

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...

In this article objective have been made to reviews different geostatistical methods available to estimate and simulate petrophysical properties (porosity and permeability) of the reservoir. Different geostatistical techniques that allow the combination of hard and soft data are taken into account and one refers the main reason to use the geostatistical simulation rather than estimation. Uncert...

In the past decade, low-field NMR relaxation and diffusion measurements in grossly inhomogeneous fields have been used to characterize properties of porous media, e.g., porosity and permeability. Pulse sequences such as CPMG, inversion and saturation recovery as well as diffusion editing have been used to estimate distribution functions of relaxation times and diffusion. Linear functionals of t...

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...

In this paper, 2D seismic data and petrophysical logs of the Pabdeh Formation from four wells of the Mansuri oil field are utilized. ΔLog R method was used to generate a continuous TOC log from petrophysical data. The calculated TOC values by ΔLog R method, used for a multi-attribute seismic analysis. In this study, seismic inversion was performed based on neural networks algorithm and the resu...

A method for 3D modeling and interpretation of log properties from complex seismic attributes (obtained from 3D post stack seismic data) is developed by integrating Principal Component Analysis and Local Linear Modeling. Complex seismic attributes have non-linear relationships with petrophysical properties of rocks. These complicated relationships can be approximated using statistical methods. ...
