We present the developed theoretical-empirical technique for predicting of rocks’ oil-and-gas bearing in wells sections according to acoustic logging (AL) and core research (CR) and its variants by using data of other loggings and also the results of testing them on wells sections data in the Western oil and gas bearing region of Ukraine (WOGR). The mathematical apparatus of the created technique is based on a mathematical model of solid porous rock, empirical relationships between elastic and reservoir characteristics of rocks and acoustic logging data for specific studied wells. The key parameter in the calculations is the rock compressibility. Determination of the porosity of rocks and prediction of the type of pore filler (water, oil, gas) is implemented by comparing the results of calculating the velocities using theoretical and constructed empirical relationships with the actual data of the AL, by the parameter of compressibility of rocks, by the density of the pore filler fluid.
Additional versions of the technique have been developed based on correlation dependences and data from other logging methods — gamma-ray logging (GL), electric logging (EL/SP), offset method and seismic logging (SL). They are used in case of absence of AL data for the studied wells or for the intervals of their sections, and also for improving the reliability of prediction the oil and gas content of these sections. The software for the implementation of the technique was developed in Fortran, C# and Excel software environments.
The technique was tested on the data of wells of a number of structures of the WOGR of Ukraine (Lishchyns’ka, Buchats’ka, Ludyns’ka, Zaluzhans’ka, Zarichnyans’ka and Nyklovyts’ka).The technique ensures reliable prediction of petrophysical characteristics, porosity and oil-gas-water saturation of rock layers of different thicknesses (including thin layers — from 0.1—0.2 m) in well sections. For this, in addition to the data of the general parametric base of the WOGR reservoir rocks, the specially constructed refined empirical relations for various specific types and subtypes of the WOGR reservoir rocks are used, they are based on the results of analysis of petrophysical characteristics of those rocks.
