Exploration in anything but the simplest of reservoirs is commonly more challenging
because of the intrinsic variability in rock properties and geological characteristics that occur …

The purpose of this review paper is to show the possibilities of carbonate reservoir
characterization using well logging and laboratory measurements. Attention was focused on …

Carbonate rock typing provides a vehicle to propagate petrophysical properties through
association with geological attributes and, therefore, is critical for distributing reservoir …

Brazilian presalt account for more than 70% of petroleum production in the country. More
than ten years after the announcement of its discovery, presalt carbonates remain …

In a previous work, we showed how to obtain the surface relaxivity as a function of pore size.
In the present work, we take a step further and introduce a formulation that uses this surface …

The recent major discoveries of petroleum in Pre-Salt carbonate reservoirs, of mainly
lacustrine origin, offshore Brazil has increased interest in studying these complex non …

CO2 injection is a well-known Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique that has been used
for years to improve oil extraction from carbonate rock and other oil reservoirs. Optimal …

We develop a new Monte Carlo‐based inversion method for estimating electron density and
effective atomic number from 3‐D dual‐energy computed tomography (CT) core scans. The …

The T2 relaxation times recorded by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging are
measures of the ratio of the internal surface area to volume of the formation pore system …

Laboratory mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) analyses are key inputs into
reservoir simulators. Although laboratory MICP measurements are accurate, they are slow …
