摘要

This paper shows how to construct lines of constant capillary pressure, process speed, pore-throat aperture, and height above the free water table on a Pickett plot. The integration of these properties allows the determination of flow units and reservoir containers and illustrates the important link between geology, petro-physics, and reservoir engineering. The concept of flow (or hydraulic) units and reservoir containers has been used in the oil industry with a good deal of success during the past few years. The process or delivery speed κ/φ can be used in many instances to define a flow unit. Correlation of flow units between wells helps to establish reservoir containers and forecast reservoir performance. We show that a Pickett crossplot of effective porosity vs. true resistivity should result in parallel straight lines for intervals with constant process speed κ/φ. The slope of the straight lines is related to the porosity exponent m, the water-saturation exponent n, and constants in the absolute permeability equation. From the straight lines, it is possible to determine capillary pressures and pore-throat apertures directly for each flow unit at any water saturation. Pore throats at 65% water saturation compare very well with Win-land r_(35) values. The method has not been published previously in the literature. Building lines of constant κ/φ allows the display of complete capillary pressure curves on the Pickett plot, including regions that are and are not at irreducible water saturation. Previous empirical methods for determining the absolute permeability of a given interval assume that the water saturation is at irreducible conditions. This paper presents a technique that allows us to estimate absolute permeability even if the interval contains moveable water. The use of this technique is illustrated with previously published data from the Morrow sandstone in the Sorrento field of southeastern Colorado and carbonates from the Mission Canyon formation in the Little Knife field of North Dakota. We conclude that flow units can be determined reliably from the integration within one single log-log graph of Pickett plots, capillary pressures, pore-throat apertures, and Winland r_(35) values.
