Application of concentration-area fractal method in static modeling of hydrocarbon reservoirs

Abstract Separating and identifying various fractal communities are the most crucial steps in static reservoir modeling. There are different ways for the identification and separation which vary from simple statistical methods (on the basis of statistical parameters functions Function) to complicate...

description Abstract Separating and identifying various fractal communities are the most crucial steps in static reservoir modeling. There are different ways for the identification and separation which vary from simple statistical methods (on the basis of statistical parameters functions Function) to complicated fractal methods (on the basis of the spatial structure of data). Fractal geometry supplies new instruments to estimate hydrocarbon reservoir properties. In the last few years, fractal geometry is known as a new trick of human mind for identifying and analyzing behavioral and structural complexities of generally natural phenomena. One of the uses of fractal geometry is to estimate the threshold limit and the results of separating the anomaly communities from the base regarding the fractal dimension differences. In this study, after saturation parameter modeling of a reservoir rock located in south of Iran, different communities were separated by kriging geostatistical method and using concentration-area fractal method. Based on the water saturation parameters, the results of fractal analysis represent two different communities in the reservoir.
