An Application of Geostatistics and Fractal Geometry for Reservoir Characterization

Summary This study presents an application of geostatistics and fractal geometry concepts for 2D characterization of rock properties (k and ϕ) in a dolomitic, layered-cake reservoir. The results indicate that lack of closely spaced data yield effectively random distributions of properties. Further, incorporation of geology reduces uncertainties in fractal interpolation of wellbore properties.
