Development of a Predictive Model for Porosity Distribution in the Smackover Formation of Southwest Alabama

摘要

This study is an attempt to identify porosity types in the Smackover of southwest Alabama; to determine the distribution of the various porosity types; to define the mechanisms responsible for porosity evolution; and to develop a model useful in predicting porosity distribution in the Smackover in southwest Alabama. This porosity would be a tremendous aid both to the exploration geologist seeking new reserves in southwest Alabama.
