Abstract
Summary
Karstic carbonate reservoirs commonly have multiple media of hydrocarbon storage including caves, vugs and fractures. It is often a big challenge for quantitative reservoir characterization in karstic carbonate because of the very complex seismic reflection, particularly when seismic resolution is limited. This paper aims to develop a workflow integrating geostatistical and azimuthal inversion techniques to accurately predict reservoir distribution characteristics including caves, vugs, strike and density of fractures in karstic carbonate reservoirs. The success of this workflow would provide tremendous support to the design of new development wells and dramatically increase drilling success.
