Rock true resistivity (Rt) is known as more sensitive than compressional-wave velocity (Vp), the principal output of a seismic survey, to variation in water saturation. Therefore, it would be of a great value if there were a way to predict resistivity distribution from seismic signals. This study is essentially an effort to see the possibility of predicting Rt from Vp through a pattern recognition approach. For the purpose, a series of laboratory tests were performed on some Central Sumatran clay-free sandstone samples of various porosity values and at various water saturation levels. For studying the pattern of relationship, artificial neural networks (ANNs) were applied. From the ‘training’ (i.e.pattern recognition) activity performed using the ANNs, it has been show between Vp and Rt in the following ‘blind test’, it has also been shown that the trained relationship can be used to estimate Rt reliably using other data as input. Comparisons between estimated and observed Rt data have indicated good agreement implying the success of the approach taken in the study. This has laid the foundation and justification for further application of the approach on seismic and well-log data.

Fluid transport calculations based on streamlines have been used successfully for years to model two-phase in compressible flow simulations", The pressures for defining the streamlines are obtained by assuming that the reservoir fluids and rock are incompressible and that flow is in the steady state, which yields a time-independent equation that can be solved to define the fixed pressure distribution. Streamline tracking is performed with the pressure field to advance saturations or compositions. In this approach, the changing pressure field and the movement of fluids are not tightly connected, which results in inaccuracies in the solution.The streamline approach has recently been extended to various applications, such as compositional and black oil problems for updating the composition and saturation, In cases, a non-linear equation for the pressure is solved assuming unsteady-state flow but compressible fluids and rock, followed by solving the conservation equations in sequence or fully implicitly, i.e. the pressure and the saturation equations are solved together along each streamline. In this approach, most of the physical parameters that depend on the pressure changes are accounted for throughout the solution.The major limitation of the streamline method is that applicability is restricted to convective problems only.

The displacement of one fluid by another is controlled by the geometry of the pore space. The relative hydrodynamic conductance of each fluid at a given saturation is the relative permeability, while the pressure difference between the phases is the capillary pressure.

Hydroprocessing is the catalytic reaction of hydrogen with petroleum or other hydrocarbon materials. It may be carried out for a variety of objectives, including: saturation of olefins or aromaties, molecular rearrangement, or removal of impurity (1).Selective hydrocracking is one of this hydroprocessing to convert higherboiling distillate to lube base stock using a bi-functional catalyst containing both acid site and metal site. Those two active sites of bi-functional catalyst should promote the correct combination of hydrogenation, isomerization and limited hydrocracking function, resulting in the maximum yield of product in the lube oil range (2). The kinetics of this selective hydrocracking greatly depends on the operating conditions: such as feedstock composition, type of catalyst, temperature, pressure, hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio, and space velocity (6).The versatility of the hydroconversion process with respect to the variety of feedstock are case to study: i.e. the feasibility of the hydroconversion of obtaining lube base stock from heavy distillate.In order to gain more information, an experiment has been carried out to study the selective hydrocracking of vacuum distillate (paraffinic and non paraffinic) by using bifunctional catalysts with various acidity at the following operating conditions: temperature: from 380 to 410 ° C, pressure: 100 kg/cm2 and hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio: 1000 l/lt. A catatest unit operated in a continuous system was used in this experiment.Gas and liquid product samples were taken from gas and liquid samples, respectively. Liquid product was fractionated to get the following cuts: IBP-380°C and380°C with 30 theoretical plate fractionator, operating at 4/1 reflux ratio. The 380°C bottom product was treated by dewaxing, using methylisobutyl ketone as a solvent to obtain the lube base stock and wax.

The Permian to Triassic Tirrawarra Sandstone succession in the Cooper Basin of CentralAustralia is characterized by its low permeability. Ambient core porosity averages8.96% and ambient permeability 0.9 mD. Most samples studied have permeabilities lessthan 3mD. Despite its overall poor reservoir characteristics, the Tirrawarra Sandstone isone of the major oil and gas targets in Australia. A total of 17 core plugs from 6 wellswere studied petrographically using optical petrography, SEM and XRD. These resultswere integrated with core analysis data.Petrographic study revealed the diagenetic events, mainly mechanical and chemicalcompaction, cementation and alteration have modified the reservoir quality. Ductile componentssuch as rock fragments, clay and matrix influence mechanical compaction, whichare the main cause of reservoir quality reduction. Quartz cementation and clay distributionalso affected the porosity, but particularly permeability. Mechanical compaction aswell as quartz cementation have reduced and blocked pore-throats to isolate intergranularpores. The alteration of feldspar to kaolin has changed intergranular porosity tomicroporosity. Illite occurs as either cement, alteration of rock fragments or kaolinite. Allof these diagenetic events also affect fluid movement in the reservoir.This paper presents the evaluation of the determination of effectiveness of porosity inthe delivery of gas from sandstone reservoir in the Cooper Basin using integrated petrographyanalysis and core measurements.

The palynological study of the Oligocene sediments is based on cutting samples collected from the exploration wells which are drilled in East Java Sea. The occurrence of pollen Meyeripollis naharkotensis along the well sections suggests the pollen zone of Meyeripollis naharkotensis which is equivalent to Oligocene age. This is supported by the regular occurrence of the Oligocene marker of the trilete spore of Cicatricosisporites dorogensis along the studied well sections. In addition, foraminiferal and nannoplankton analyses confirm the Oligocene age by identifying the occurrence of letter stage of Tc- Te4 and nanno zone of NP21-NP25. On the other hand, most palynomorphs marking Eocene age disappear from the studied wells as they are stratigraphically older than the studied sediments. Unlike the Oligocene sediment of West Java and Central Sumatra which was formed in the freshwater swamp or lake under dry climate condition, the studied sediment was deposited in the transition to shallow marine environment as indicated by the moderate diversity of marine dinoflagellates coupled with the frequent occurrence of limestone along the sections. Furthermore, the regular appearance of back-mangrove pollen of Spinizonocolpites echinatus throughout the well sections supports the indication of marine influence. The appearance of the Australian immigrants including Dacrydium (common occurrence) and Casuarina (regular occurrence) may indicate earlier arrival of the Australian continent in this area compared to that in other areas of Indonesia.

This study is a part of geological investigation on Pleistocene sediment in East Java in order to evaluate hydrocarbon potential within this sediment of this area. The area of study is located in the on-shore East Java (Figure 1). It is financially supported by the oil company as this is commercial work done by LEMIGAS Exploration Department. Therefore, data used in this paper will be incompletely presented as they are confidential. The name of the studied wells and their precise locations are hided in this paper. Data used in this study derives from three wells namely R, S and T. Three different disciplines are applied in this study including palynology, micropaleontology and nannoplankton analyses which are useful for crosschecking purposes. Apparently, the integration of these analyses gains accurate interpretation of stratigraphy and depositional environment. The area of study is in East Java Basin which can be classified as a classical back-arc basin. During Pleistocene, the area of study was marked by regional uplift and the cessation of open marine sedimentation (LEMIGAS, 2005). Therefore Pleistocene age was dominated by non-marine deposition. Generally, this type of sediment is separated from the underlying layer by an unconformity (LEMIGAS, 2005). Most Pleistocene sediment consists of volcanoclastic as a result of volcanic activity which related to uplifting period. It is possible that volcanic activity was responsible for the burning of grass as indicated by the occurrence of charred Gramineae cuticles.

It is possible that volcanic activity was responsible for the burning of grass as indicated by the occurrence of charred Gramineae cuticles.","PeriodicalId":21649,"journal":{"name":"Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89019275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Recent developments in petroleum industry have been witnessing the surge of the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) log. Despite some remaining problems the NMR technology appears to gain more acceptance as petrophysical tool for evaluating reservoir quality. Comprehensive formation evaluation requires determination of irreducible fluids, movable fluids, and permeability. However, rock heterogeneity introduces complexity in any formation evaluation activities. This can also cause problem for NMR log interpretation. In the presence of clays the most commonly used T2 cut off values, a constant value throughout a formation, seem to eventually yield inaccurate irreducible water saturation estimates, as well as other output such as permeability. This study focuses at finding a solution for finding the best way of choosing the most representative T2 cut off value to be used in NMR log interpretation. This is indeed a common pressing problem for heterogeneous formation rocks such as in the case of Tirrawarra sandstones used in this study. The main part of the study is devoted to comparison between the use of single averaged T2c value and establishment of empirical correlations enabling the provision of T2c for any level of heterogeneity (i.e. various levels of shaliness). The study however surprisingly shows that, in spite of the theoretical soundness of the empirical correlations established, simple averaging of T2c values yielded by a reliable method proves itself adequate. This conclusion therefore helps considerably in reducing complexity in NMR log interpretation.
