Beschreibung
This hugely experienced author working in Texas, America’s main oil-rich state, has produced a work that goes after one of the holy grails of oil prospecting. One main target in petroleum recovery is the description of the three-dimensional distribution of petrophysical properties on the interwell scale in carbonate reservoirs. Doing so would improve performance predictions by means of fluid-flow computer simulations. Lucia’s book focuses on the improvement of geological, petrophysical, and geostatistical methods, describes the basic petrophysical properties, important geology parameters, and rock fabrics from cores, and discusses their spatial distribution. A closing chapter deals with reservoir models as an input into flow simulators. Not only does this book provide a hugely practical approach that uses geostatistical as well as petrophysical methods, it can also be used as course material to integrate geology, geophysics and engineering.
summarizes a rock-based work flow for constructing carbonate reservoir models contains descriptions and methods for describing carbonate rocks in terms that relate directly to petrophysical properties includes methods for calibrating wireline logs with rock fabrics contains a work flow for integrating geological, petrophysical, and geostatistical information for the building of reservoir models Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
