  8. Visualization Orientation – 2D and 3D example views Vertical Exaggeration (VE) – 1X to 10X

  9. Visualization Animation Example – Permeability 25 – 30+ millidarcies Stromatolite Wackestone non-reef Niagaran cored interval Boundstone Conglomerate VE 10X

  10. Reef Permeability Cumulative Percent – all samples 30 md (70%) > 30 md RESET to 30 md Percent Core Permeability (millidarcies) 4980 samples

  11. Reef Permeability – By Rock Type 30 md (70%) > 30 md RESET to 30 md Percent Core Permeability (millidarcies) 4980 samples

  12. Permeability Distributionred voxels are 27 – 30+ millidarcies VE 10X Many other methods for modeling permeability

  13. Log Curve Amplitude Slicing- Review WEST EAST • Any regularly sampled data from boreholes SLICES Top Reef (e.g. Log or Core curve data) • One or more correlative, bounding time-surfaces 250 ft Base Reef, Time-surface (?) 0.5

  20. What can we do with these models ?

  21. 2D and 3D Visualization aids interpretation of Permeability and Porosity Trends in the Reef ( 25+ md ) VE 10X Better targeting analysis for vertical and horizontal wells

  22. Perforated Intervals versus Permeability 20 - 30+ md VE 10X Perforated interval (original) Improved completions, secondary, and tertiary projects

  23. BEST POROSITY BEST PERMEABILITY ( 25+ md ) ( > 13% ) Best Storage versus Best Deliverability Perforated interval VE10X

  24. BEST POROSITY BEST PERMEABILITY ( 25+ md ) ( > 13% ) Storage and Deliverability vs. Rock Type Rock Types VE10X

  25. Results/Conclusions • Location of best porosity (storage capacity) and best permeability (deliverability) does not always coincide in the reservoir (reef) • Existing well data used to model reservoir porosity and permeability distribution • Methodology uses affordable software
