Image logs have higher resolution than conventional logs and it makes them powerful tools for detailed reservoir characterization and modeling. Hence, thin beds, which are not detectable using conventional logs, can be characterized by image log data. The present study focuses on the Permian-Triassic carbonate reservoirs of Dalan and Kangan formations in one of the gas fields in southern Iran. In this study, the reservoir porosity was estimated using Fullbore Formation Microimager (FMI) image log. Then, the results were compared and validated with the core data. Porosity was estimated as 2-dimentional image by rescaling the FMI image log with Micro-Spherical Focused Log (MSFL). The image log-derived porosity was then compared with conventional logs-derived and core porosities. The image log-derived porosity is in good agreement with the core data. In this paper, a procedure was introduced which can be used to recognize very narrow pay layers (thickness in centimeters). This work is very important for identifying the proper perforation intervals in heterogeneous reservoirs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
