MULTIFREQUENCY CROSSHOLE EM IMAGING FOR RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

License(s):

Other (Open)

Electrical conductivity of sedimentary rocks is controlled by the porosity, hydraulic permeability, temperature, saturation, and the pore fluid conductivity. These rock parameters play important roles in the development and production of hydrocarbon (petroleum and natural gas) resources. For these reasons, resistivity well logs have long been used by geologists and reservoir engineers in petroleum induces to map variations in pore fluid, to distinguish between rock types, and to determine completion intervals in wells. It is therefore a natural extension to use the electrical conductivity structure to provide additional information about the reservoir. Reservoir simulation and process monitoring rely heavily on the physical characteristics of the reservoir model. At present, numerical codes use point measurements of porosity, permeability, and fluid saturation and extrapolate these data throughout a three-dimensional (3-D) grid. The knowledge of a high-resolution geophysical parameter such as electrical conductivity would aid this extrapolation and improve the reservoir simulation effort. In addition, since conductivity is sensitive to changes in the composition and state of fluids in pores and fractures it becomes an ideal method for monitoring a reservoir process.
