The progress of existing geophysical techniques for the last years led to a wider scope of the problems resolved using this set of tools. The tools allow tackling pivotal tasks such as the study of lithology in a geological section, correlation, evaluation of saturation, porosity, permeability, and clay fraction, and outlining of oil-gas and water-saturated layers. Complications emerging while resolving these problems directly depend on the petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers. For instance, similar values of resistivity in oil and water layers result in high value of clay fraction and variation of porosity in a wide range and this complicates distinguishing the oil and water layers. On the other hand, it is known that an increase of cementing clay amount in reservoirs causes drop of porosity (Kpor.) and increase of residual water saturation.
This paper is devoted to design of models defining correlation between petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers by use of integrated well data and establishing regression equations from these parameters’ distributions. Models of variation of porosity, permeability, clay fraction and oil and gas saturation through the sections of wells were also designed. They made it possible to evaluate filtration-capacity characteristics and establish correlation between petrophysical parameters of reservoir layers and gain information about this field.
The bar graph was drawn for permeability coefficient variation through studied reservoirs in Qirmaky suite (QD-1, QD-2, QD-3, QD-4) by use of sections of wells conditionally marked as 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the Balakhany field.
Analysis of the constructed histograms allows us to classify the studied collector layers according to their permeability. Of the 17 layers studied in section of well 1, only Layer 17 has very good permeability, the other 16 are of good permeability; all 17 layers of well 2 have good permeability characteristics; of the 17 layers of well 3, Layer 3 is of poor permeability, layers 6, 7, and 14 have average permeability, and the rest are of good permeability; all 12 layers of well 4 have good permeability.
The study target is Qirmaky suite (QD-1, QD-2, QD-3, QD-4) of the Productive Series in Balakhany field.
