An Automated and Universal Approach for Characterizing Cored Formation Intervals: Gaining More Insight from Comparing Zonation Results – According to Geological Facie, Rock Type and Hydraulic Units.
Christies Conference Spaces Level 1, 320 Adelaide St, Brisbane CBD, QLD, AustraliaPresented by Peter Behrenbruch - Bear and Brook Consulting Abstract: The presentation discusses a fully automated, universal and comparative analysis approach for defining formation characteristics: based on geological and core description, linked to logs and pore structure – pore throat size and sorting, and based on hydraulic parameters. It is shown how such analysis leads to greater understanding, more meaningful data integration while ensuring consistency. Methodologies employed make use of cluster analysis and pattern recognition, utilising a 6-parameter model space, a nomograph called ‘Global Characteristics Envelope’ (GCE): displaying porosity, permeability, hydraulic radius, porosity group (porosity/ grain volume), flow zone indicator (linked to grain size) and grain sorting. The approach gives […]
