Abstract

The study of reservoir permeability is currently based on the measurement of porosity and permeability from samples collected and well log curves. In order to save time and costs as well as to evaluate areas where samples cannot be taken or where new wells will be drilled without building geological models, it is very important to study the relationship between lithofacies and permeability. This paper analyses the relationship between facies and permeability in Nam Con Son basin wells, from which provides a review and assessment of the reservoir to be studied based on statistical and geostatistical methods.
