Understanding Porosity-Permeability Relationships in Rock Type Classification and Flow Unit Identification

Register to watch the webinar on-demand here.  

Join esteemed science and technology expert Kim Mclean, senior principal solutions consultant, subsurface technology at Aspen Technology, Inc. as she details an innovative approach to rock type classification and flow unit identification. Moderated by AAPG’s Director of Innovation, Emerging Science, and Technology, Susan Nash, and sponsored by Aspen Technology, Inc., this webinar will explore the relationship between permeability and porosity.

Traditionally, regression relationships are used to extrapolate permeability from wireline data; however, this method cannot accurately model permeability for all reservoir rocks due to variances in permeability and the presence of multiple rock types. The discussion will highlight a unique way to address this challenge.

You’ll learn to:

·       Improve the assessment of porosity-permeability relationships, even in highly heterogeneous reservoirs

·       Strengthen your rock type classification analysis by extending the porosity-permeability relationships to zones and wells lacking data

·       Leverage machine-learning techniques to calculate an accurate permeability log

·       Utilize technologies that enable geoscientists to leverage custom scripts to extend workflows beyond cored intervals/well
