The Effect of the Cementation Factor and Saturation Exponent in Reserves Estimates- A Statistical Simulation Experiment
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The first part of this report is a statistical study of the cementation factor and the saturation exponent aimed to find any correlation between these two parameters. Only those values measured by experiment i n the laboratory and from the same core have been used.In the second part, a simple Montecarlo simulation approach is utilized to determine the error introduced in the water saturation, Sw, and therefore in the estimate of total amount of oil or gas in a reservoir when the usual assumption about these parameters, namely m = n = 2, is made. For a porosity range of 5% t o 30% and total formation resistivity to formation water resistivity ratio (Rt/Q) ranging from 25 to 5,000 an expression relating Sw when m = n = 2 is assumed and the Sw distribution resulting from the simulation experiment is derived, making possible to estimate the error in total reserves.
