Igneous Rocks
An igneous rock is a rock that had molted (derriti) but it later cooled and hardened (endureci). Formed by solidification of molten minerals/materials: Beneath surface (magma):Granite At surface (lava): Basalt
Metamorphic Rocks
Is an igneous or sedimentary rock that has been changed (alterada) by heat and pressure. Formed within earths crust by transformation of other rocks at high pressure and temperature (marble,slate)

vi.
3 factors should always be remembered conceiving fluid saturation a. It vary from place to place in reservoir rock; Sw higher in less porous sections due to gravity segregation of the gas, oil and water
Example
One of the most important determinations for an oil accumulation is the volume of oil in place. Suppose that in geological evidence is known that the area extent of an oil reservoir is 2 million sqft and that the thickness of the bay zone is 30 ft. If the sand porosity and water saturation are 0.2 and 0.3, respectively, how much oil is present?
Solution:
b. Vary with cumulative withdrawal; oil produced replace by water or gas c. Oil and gas saturation frequently expressed in terms of HC-filled pore space.
Pore space = V

Rock Permeability
i.
Measurement of the fluid ability to flow through the connected pores of the reservoir.
A function of a degree of interconnection between pores in the rock The concept was introduced by Darcy in a classical experimental work from both petroleum engineering and ground water hydrology. Is expressed in milidarcies or Darcies. The flow rate can be measured against pressure (head) for different porous media The flow rate of fluid thru specific porous medium is linearly proportional top head difference betwen the inlet and outlet and characteristic property of the medium, thus u = kDP Where k = permeability and is a characteristic property of the porous medium

Porosity Determination from Logs Porosity Determination from Logs Most log interpretation techniques in use today use a bulk volume rock approach Quantitative rock data must be input into equations to derive values of phi and Sw. For example: Db = x Df + (1 - ) Dm Porosity is then derived: = (Dma - Db)/(Dma - Df) Values of matrix density are normally assumed: Dma = 2.65 for clean sand = 2.68 for limy sands or sandy limes = 2.71 for limestone = 2.87 for dolomite Fluid density is that of the mud filtrate: Df = 1.0 (fresh) = 1.0 = 0.73N (salt) Where: N = NaCl concentration, ppm x 10-6 Accurate knowledge of grain density is essential
Porosity at Net Overburden (NOB) Increase in NOB can reduce porosity. Generally the reduction is <10% of total porosity. Less severe in consolidated rocks, more severe in unconsolidated rocks Grain Density Measure the bulk volume of the sample. Weigh the sample. GD = Dry weight/Grain volume Most rocks are mixtures of minerals. The grain density of any rock is variable and is dependent on the mineralogy: 1.25gm/cc -- volcanic ash, some coals 2.65gm/cc -- clean, quartz sandstone 2.68gm/cc -- shaly sandstone with some carbonate 2.71gm/cc -- clean limestone 2.87 - >3.0gm/cc dolomite 2.32gm/cc -- gypsum 2.96gm/cc -- anhydrite 3.89gm/cc -- siderite Accurate values of grain density are important because grain density is used to correct wireline logs for potential sources of error
Fluid Saturations from Cores Through knowledge of porosity, permeability and residual fluid saturations (oil, water and gas), it is possible to predict with a high degree of accuracy the probable type of fluid which will be produced from a given interval. Review of the core fluorescence can also be an indicator of oil gravity and should be factored when type of production is predicted. DATA USE
Use of Routine Core Data of Routine Core Data Laboratory measurements of routine core properties (phi, k, saturation) are commonly used for the following purposes:
to define pay, to interpret gas/oil and oil/water contacts, to estimate rate of production, to determine storage capacity and evaluate vertical sweep efficiency by secondary and tertiary recovery methods Wettability : Definitions : Water Wet the water phase is preferentially attracted to the surfaces of the grains and water occupies most of the small pores. Common in sandstones, especially those that contain some shale Oil Wet the oil phase is preferentially attracted to the grain surfaces and the oil occupies most of the small pores. Can occur in carbonates (particularly those with abundant small pores) and in some very clean (shale-free) sandstones Neutral Wet no preference for either water or oil Fractional Wettability certain areas of the rock are oil wet, others are water wet due to mineralogical changes or to changes in adsorption of the oil Mixed Wettability the larger pores contain oil (oil wet) and the smaller pores contain water (water wet). Common in carbonate reservoirs with heterogeneous pore geometry Formations generally increase in their degree of water wetness above 200C
Capillary Pressure (1) Capillary pressure exists in a hydrocarbon reservoir fundamentally because of differences in the density of various fluids that affect the pressure gradients: Pressure gradient of water = 0.44 psi/ft (density = 1gm/cc) Pressure gradient of oil = 0.33 psi/ft (density = 0.8gm/cc)* Pressure gradient of gas = 0.09 psi/ft (density = 0.2gm/cc)** * 30API ** 5000psi As hydrocarbons accumulate in a trap, the difference in density between the fluids results in a vertical segregation of the fluids: gas on oil, oil on water For example, at 10,000ft, oil pressure = 3300 psi and water pressure = 4400 psi
Capillary Pressure Capillary pressure in reservoirs can be defined as the difference between the force acting downwards (hydrostatic head, related to density contrasts) and the force acting upwards (buoyancy, related to pore throat size, interfacial tension and contact angle) Capillary pressure is measured in the laboratory generally using plug samples or rotary sidewall cores. Occasionally cuttings samples are used In the most common type of test, a non-wetting phase fluid (e.g. mercury) is injected into the rock at slowly increasing values of pressure. The amount of fluid injected at each increment of pressure is recorded and is presented as a capillary curve
Capillary Pressure and Water Saturation (2) Reservoir Sw decreases with increasing height above the free water level (the level at which the reservoir produces only water) Zones that are at irreducible water saturation (Swirr) produce only hydrocarbons. Swirr occurs where sufficient closure and hydrocarbon column exist The transition zone occurs between the free water level and the Swirr level. Formations in this zone produce water and hydrocarbons The magnitude of the Swirr and the thickness of the transition zone are a function of the pore size distribution Small pore throats = low permeability = high Swirr
Initial Reservoir Fluid Distribution The amount of Sw at any height in the reservoir is a function of: Pore throat size, wettability, interfacial tension, saturation history and differences in fluid densities These variables control capillary pressure, therefore there is a relationship between Sw, h, Pc and pore throat size Laboratory measurements of capillary pressure are used to relate Sw to height above the free water level as long as appropriate values of laboratory and reservoir interfacial tension and contact angle are used Laboratory tests can be made with different fluids oil, brine, mercury
Capillary Pressure: : Static Measurement Static Method Mercury injection Widely used, rapid, economic and simple. Mercury is the non-wetting phase and is injected into a cleaned and evacuated core plug at successively increasing pressures from 0 to 60,000psi The core plug cannot be used for further testing because of residual Hg saturation Hg capillary pressure data must be scaled to reservoir conditions using the following formula: . Conversion factor = Mercury Pc = Sm Cos m Water-Air Pc Sw Cos w Where: Sm = surface tension of mercury Sw = surface tension of water m = contact angle of mercury against a solid (140 degrees) w = contact angle of water against a solid (0 degrees)
Capillary Pressure: Dynamic Measurement Dynamic Method -- Centrifuge Generally uses oil-brine fluid system but actual reservoir fluids can also be used Rapid, more complicated and more expensive than mercury Pc measurements Requires preserved or restored-state core plugs Large (2 inch) plugs are required. These can be used for further analysis Brine saturated samples are centrifuged at ever increasing speeds under oil to obtain a relationship between capillary pressure and saturation
Capillary Pressure: Rock Controls Pore geometry is a fundamental control on capillary pressure, in particular the size of the pore throats: the capillary pressure characteristics change with changes in Rock Type (pore geometry) In heterogeneous reservoirs, it is essential to collect capillary pressure data for each Rock Type that is present in the reservoir All other factors being equal, the lower the permeability the smaller the pore throats the higher the Pce and the higher the Swirr Capillary pressure data is used to determine the height above free water (column height) for each Rock Type and to improve the prediction of the type of fluid produced (hydrocarbon/water)
Use of Pc in Reservoir Simulation and Reservoir Characterization For purposes of simulation and characterization, it is necessary to know the Free Water Level (FWL) When FWL is known it is possible to predict Sw at any height in the reservoir even in areas that lack well penetrations This is particularly important in the following cases: Areas with long transition zones and no obvious FWL Areas with misidentified or unknown FWL Areas with unknown or incorrect Rw Areas where a, m and/or n are incorrect or unknown Areas with multiple Rock Types (where a, m,n and Sw vary as a function of Rock Type) In these situations, it is possible to solve for Sw using either the Pc curves or the Leverett J Function.
