Quantifying Reservoir Heterogeneity through Outcrop Characterization: 1. Architecture, Lithology, and Permeability Distribution of a Landward-Stepping Fluvial-Deltaic Sequence, Ferron Sandstone (Cretaceous), Central Utah. Topical Report, November 1, 1989-November 30, 1992

摘要

The research has three primary objectives: (1) to determine the factors controlling the size, shape, internal architecture, and permeability character of flow units and the associated baffles and barriers of a sandstone reservoir; (2) to transform information gained from specific measurements to a realistic three-dimensional reservoir model; and (3) to establish general principles for outcrop studies of reservoir analogs that can be used by other researchers and field operators. The report summarizes the authors work on a landward-stepping sequence within the Ferron; these results are applicable to wave-modified deltaic reservoirs.
