Why use <strong>SBED</strong>?<br />

Core plug data: Tilje 3A Formation<br />

Question:<br />

Can we derive petrophysical properties from<br />

these data (core plugs) that are representative at<br />

the grid-cell scale <strong>of</strong> a reservoir model ?<br />

Problems:<br />

Kv and Kh are NOT well characterized by core<br />

plugs or wirel<strong>in</strong>e data.<br />

Permeability data me<strong>as</strong>ured from core plugs that<br />

have a sample volume below the REV will be<br />

unrepresentative.<br />

There<strong>for</strong>e we see extreme variability <strong>of</strong> plug<br />

permeabilities (Kv, Kh) even <strong>in</strong>side small vertical<br />

<strong>in</strong>tervals.<br />

Answer:<br />

No! But us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>SBED</strong> to model the heterogeneity<br />

at a more suitable volume (REV) and us<strong>in</strong>g flowb<strong>as</strong>ed<br />

upscal<strong>in</strong>g to determ<strong>in</strong>e properties could<br />

be a more realistic solution…<br />

Th<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>tercalations <strong>of</strong> mudstone and<br />

sandstone layers will have a strong <strong>in</strong>fluence<br />

on the flow properties!
