Permeability Estimation Using Previous HitPorosityNext Hit Logs and Rock Fabric Stratigraphy: An Example from the Sacroc (Pennsylvanian) Field, Scurry County, Texas

F. Jerry Lucia, Charles Kerans

Abstract

Estimating permeability from Previous HitporosityNext Hit logs has been a major problem in carbonate reservoirs. The rock-fabric method of calculating permeability from wireline logs uses the global transform equation, which requires interparticle Previous HitporosityNext Hit and rock-fabric number. A method has been developed that uses rock-fabric stratigraphy to obtain an apparent rock-fabric number and total Previous HitporosityNext Hit rather than interparticle Previous HitporosityTop. These values are used as input into the global transform to estimate permeability.
