Part of Field Study & Modelling and one of the Subsurface Production Disciplines, studying physical and chemical rock properties and their interactions with fluids
with an ultimate objective to build a model predicting petrophysical rock properties based on core data, open-hole and cased-hole Reservoir Data Logs and also based on the previously estimated petrophysical rock properties.
and includes the following study areas:
Core Analysis | Petrophysical Modelling | Reservoir Data Log Interpretation |
---|---|---|
Identifying the mineralogy and lithological facies from core analysis | Formation Tops | |
Modelling Reservoir Data Logs | Lithology | |
Special Core Analysis (SCAL) | Modelling Relative Permeability | Effective porosity |
Digital Core Analysis (DCAL) | Modelling Capillary Pressure | Absolute permeability |
Modelling Saturation Height Function | Fluid type and saturation |
