| description | It is essential to characterize fluid flow in porous media to have a better understanding of petrophysical properties. Many approaches were developed to determine reservoir permeability among which the integrated analysis of hydraulic flow unit (HFU) and electrofacies (EF) is considered to be useful one. However, the application of HFU and EF analysis has not been totally understood with a limited data to develop correlation for less distance offset wells. In this study, an attempt was made to show the application of integrating HFU and EF for reliable estimation of permeability using core and wireline log data in one of the gas fields in Pakistan. The results obtained indicate that the integrated approach proposed in this study can be used, especially in less distance offset wells when a limited number of data are available for petrophysical characterization. |
