Providing a subsurface reservoir quality maps in oil fields by geostatistical methods

Abstract

Under study reservoir oilfield is located south-west of Iran. This field is comprised of naturally fractured Asmari and Bangestan formation. Reservoir management and characteristic evaluation of this field requires good knowledge of reservoir rock and fluid properties. One of main methods to get such information is using known parameter and estimates this property in unknown area of reservoir by geostatistics and kriging method. In this research used the porosity parameter data from 36 oil wells that taken by well logging to estimate porosity parameter in unknown part of reservoir by geostatistics and kriging method. The porosity parameter had normal distribution. After surveyed the distribution of data varioghraphy was done and strength of structure was proved and kriging parameters including characteristic of search ellipse determined for estimation. Then porosity parameter was estimated with the use of geostatistical method in reservoir.
