Permeability estimates using different methods for turbidite reservoir in Hai Thach field, Nam Con Son basin
Abstract
Reservoir permeability along with its distribution is an extremely important parameter for reservoir management and development. Permeability can be determined by several methods but the results obtained could be very different, especially for poor production wells. This article presents the results from four permeability estimating methods applied to four wells penetrating a turbidite reservoir (Sand30) of Hai Thach field, Nam Con Son basin, including three producers (HT-C, HT-H and HT-I) and an exploration well (HT-X). Since the wells have different deliverability, the accurate determination of permeability and its distribution for Sand30 is an important requirement for the effective production of this turbidite reservoir. In addition, factors that could lead to the disagreement between permeability values derived from these methods are discussed in details by the authors.
