Contents Notes
Petrophysical Rock Properties -- Rock-Fabric Classification -- Wireline Logs -- Depositional Textures & Petrophysics -- Reservoir Models for Input into Flow Simulators -- Limestone Reservoirs -- Dolostone Reservoirs -- Touching-Vug Reservoirs. One principal need in petroleum recovery from carbonate reservoirs is the description of the three-dimensional distribution of petrophysical properties in order to improve performance predictions by means of fluid-flow computer simulations. The book focuses on a rock based approach for the integration of geological, petrophysical, and geostatistical methods to construct a reservoir model suitable to input into flow simulation programs. This second edition includes a new chapter on model construction and new examples of limestone, dolostone, and touching-vug reservoir models as well as improved chapters on basic petrophysical properties, rock-fabric/petrophysical relationships, calibration of wireline logs, and sequence stratigraphy.
