Carbonate Reservoir Characterization: An Integrated Approach

About this book

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.
