Rock Type Connectivity Estimation Using Percolation Theory
, Article Mathematical Geosciences ; Vol. 45, issue. 3 , April , 2013 , p. 321-340 ; ISSN: 18748961 ; Masihi, M ; Pishvaie, M ; King, P. R ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Complicated sedimentary processes control the spatial distribution of geological heterogeneities. This serves to make the nature of the fluid flow in the hydrocarbon reservoirs immensely complex. Proper modeling of these heterogeneities and evaluation of their connectivity are crucial and affects all aspects of fluid flow. Since the natural variability of heterogeneity occurs in a myriad of length scales, accurate modeling of the rock type connectivity requires a very fine scheme, which is computationally very expensive. Hence, this makes other alternative methods such as the percolation approach attractive and necessary. The percolation approach considers the hypothesis that a reservoir can...
