Rock Typing in Carbonate Reservoirs
Description:
The rock typing in carbonate rocks is a way to group facies because they are similar in how porous and permeable they are, but it also takes into account how they were formed and how they have changed over time. Geologists developed this method. A static geological model can be made with an ideal rock type. This model can then be used to simulate reservoirs and predict how fluids will flow. It is obvious that, given the significance of this stage in the reservoir characterization process, it is essential to have a solid understanding of the various rock typing techniques and to determine which of these techniques would be most suitable for a clastic or carbonate depositional environment. The purpose of this class is to provide a definition of nomenclature and to discuss the various approaches to rock typing.
