Fossil Energy: Methodology to Integrate Magnetic Resonance and AcousticMeasurements for Reservoir Characterization. Semi-Annual Report, April 1, 1999-October 31, 1999

摘要

The objective of the project is to develop an advanced imaging method, includingpore scale imaging, to integrate magnetic resonance (MR) techniques and acoustic measurements to improve predictability of the pay zone in two hydrocarbon reservoirs. We will accomplish this by extracting the fluid property parameters using MR laboratory measurements and the elastic parameters of the rock matrix from acoustic measurements to create poroelastic models of different parts of the reservoir. Laboratory measurements will be compared with petrographic analysis results to determine the relative roles of petrographic elements such as porosity type, mineralogy, texture, and distribution of clay and cement in creating permeability heterogeneity.
