Carbonate reservoir characterization. An integrated approach / Характеристика карбонатных резервуаров. Комплексный подход

This book is intended for the use of geologist, geophysists, petrophysists, and engineers interested in building geologic models that can be converted into realistic reservoir flow models of carbonate reservoirs. The first edition of this book was focused on methods and approaches for constructing improved carbonate reservoir models. In this second edition these methods are enlarged based on research results since the first edition was published. Each chapter contains new information, particularly in the area of wireline logs and geostatistics. Importantly, several new field studies are included that illustrate the application of these methods in building reservoir models. 

As in the first edition, the integration of geological and engineering data is at the center of the approach described in this edition. The fundamental link between geologic models and engineering fluid-flow models is the relationship between petrophysical properties and rock fabrics. Pore geometries control the flow properties and geologic history, as observed in rock fabrics, controls the pore geometries. Therefore, it is the study of rock fabrics that integrates geological and engineering data.  <...>
