Petrophysical information is sometimes available from well logs, laboratory measurements, etc. It has been shown that incorporation of such information into geophysical inversions can greatly improve the recovered models. However, when the known petrophysical information is not applicable throughout the entire region, the application of petrophysical constraints to geophysical inversions could ...

[1] Direct estimation of groundwater solute concentrations from geophysical tomograms has been only moderately successful because (1) reconstructed tomograms are often highly uncertain and subject to inversion artifacts, (2) the range of subsurface conditions represented in data sets is incomplete because of the paucity of colocated well or core data and aquifer heterogeneity, and (3) geophysic...

Biyad Formation is mainly made up of clastic sediments that contain substantial amount of proven crude oil in the eastern Yemen. The Byiad clastic is divided into Upper and Lower Biyad clastic units. Several vertical wells have been drilled and penetrated this formation. This study is concerned with the petrophysical evaluation by means of well log data of the Lower Cretaceous rocks at the East...

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...

Abstract Downhole data and cores collected during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 376 at Brothers volcano, Kermadec arc, provide unprecedented, in situ views of volcanic facies fluid pathways an actively forming volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) ore deposit. volcano is a submarine caldera with extensive sea floor hydrothermal alteration. were two holes: Hole U1530A the ...

The development of geothermal energy and basin-scale simulations of fluid and heat flow both suffer from uncertain physical rock properties at depth. For the production of geothermal energy, a high risk of failure is associated with this uncertainty. Invoking the usual conservative assumptions as a remedy results in unnecessarily large drilling depths and increased exploration costs. Therefore,...

An important method in oil and gas exploration is vertical seismic profile (VSP) to estimate rock properties in drilling well. Quality factor is also the crucial point of seismic attenuate in VSP data. In the present study, this factor was used to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of Kangan Formation in one of the Persian Gulf oil fields using VSP zero offset method. Quality factor was estimat...

3D modeling method is divided into geospatial modeling and 3D geological modeling. 3D geological modeling technique has become a favorable tool for people to observe and analyze the geological body enriched in mineral resources. Unlike geospatial modeling, 3D geological modeling must consider various geological conditions affecting spatial shape and petrophysical distribution of geological body...
