Geological and Technological Parameters and Development of Deposits in Carbonate Reservoirs to Solve Exploration Tasks

Abstract

Abstract More than 30 geological and technological parameters to affect the predicted production of reserves in carbonate reservoirs were studied to solve exploration tasks. A physical interpretation of the findings is given. The paper concludes that there is a need for complex geological and statistical modeling. The analysis does not give the parameters that most largely determine oil recovery due to their cross-correlation dependence. The final answer can be provided by a comprehensive oil recovery model involving all parameters and an analysis of cause-and-effect relationships.
