Establishment of an oil and gas database for increased recovery and characterization of oil and gas carbonate reservoir heterogeneity
The objective of this project is to augment the National Reservoir Database (TORIS database) and to increase our understanding of geologic heterogeneities that affect the recoveries of oil and gas from carbonate reservoirs in the State of Alabama and to identify those resources that are producible at moderate cost. This objective will be achieved through detailed geological, geostatistical, and engineering characterization of typical Jurassic Smackover Formation hydrocarbon reservoirs in selected productive fields in the State of Alabama. The results of these studies will be used to develop and test mathematical models for prediction of the effects of reservoir heterogeneities in hydrocarbon production. Geological research this quarter has focused on descriptions of core material and petrographic thin sections from reservoirs producing from the Smackover Formation in southwestern Alabama, computer entry of pertinent data, and generation of maps and cross-sections.
