Abstract:

Tight sand reservoir is usually characterized by high heterogeneity and complex pore structure, which makes the permeability calculation a big challenge and leads to difficulties in reservoir classification and productivity evaluation. First, five different Hydraulic Flow Units and respective Porosity-permeability relations were built based on core dataset from Kekeya block, Tuha Basin; and then with BP Neutron Network method, flow unit was classified for un-cored intervals using normalized logging data, and permeability was calculated accordingly. This improved the accuracy of permeability calculation and helped a lot on un-cored reservoir evaluation. In addition, based on porosity, permeability and flow unit type, a new reservoir grading chart was set up by incorporating the testing or production data, which provides important guidance for productivity prediction and reservoir development.

"My experiences in publishing a paper with Bentham Open is good. I must say that the speed of publication in The Open Petroleum Engineering Journal is very fast. It takes only two month for the pioneer reviewing process. The delay was caused by me. And what’s more, the publisher’s office is quite helpful. I guess they are dealing with thousands emails every week, but they process my request in a very short period of time."
