Reservoir engineers have to predict the behavior of a hydrocarbon reservoir by building a simulation model which can reproduce as best as possible the data collected on the field. These data fall into two types: static data, which are invariable in time, and dynamic data, which evolve according to fluid motions in the reservoir. In this paper, we focus on the integration of dynamic data related...

Measurements of relative permeabilities and their analysis and modification by means of appropriate relative permeability models represent one of the bases for development and verification of reservoir simulation models. It requires careful selection of these curves providing that a statistically sufficiently relevant groups of similar curves are available for the selected reservoir or for indi...

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...

more than half of all hydrocarbon reservoirs are naturally fractured reservoirs (nfrs), in which production forecasting is a complicated function of fluid flow in a fracture-matrix system. modelling of fluid flow in nfrs is challenging due to formation heterogeneity and anisotropy. stress sensitivity and depletion effect on already-complex reservoir permeability add to the sophistication. horiz...

Abstract The integrated study of seismic attributes and inversion analysis can provide a better understanding for predicting the hydrocarbon-bearing zones even in extreme heterogeneous reservoirs. This aims to delineate characterize gas saturated zone within reservoir (Cretaceous C-sand) interval Sawan field, Middle Indus Basin, Pakistan. hydrocarbon bearing is well identified through attribute...

Oil and gas reservoir has long-term suffering from hydrocarbon seepages including macroseepages and microseepages. The presence of seepages documents the first element of a hydrocarbon system and could therefore reduce exploration risks. Hydrocarbons that escape from underground reservoirs cause oxidation-reduction reactions either in situ or along vertical migration pathways and result in anom...

In industry, the porosity of petrochemical reservoirs is measured frequently by coring and is an important property when trying to determine if a site is appropriate for drilling. Porosity can also be used in waste water treatment in order to determine if a material is ideal for water purification in industrial or residential applications. The purpose of this experiment was to simulate a oil re...

More than half of all hydrocarbon reservoirs are Naturally Fractured Reservoirs (NFRs), in which production forecasting is a complicated function of fluid flow in a fracture-matrix system. Modelling of fluid flow in NFRs is challenging due to formation heterogeneity and anisotropy.
