Carbonate Reservoir Characterization

16One 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.04Chapter 1 Petrophysical Rock Properties.- Chapter 2 Rock-Fabric Classification.- Chapter 3 Wireline Logs.- Chapter 4 Depositional Textures and Petrophysics.- Chapter 5 Reservoir Models for Input into Flow Simulators.- Chapter 6 Limestone Reservoirs.- Chapter 7 Dolostone Reservoirs.- Chapter 8 Touching-Vug Reservoirs.- Subject Index.
