    Petrophysical Characterization of Lower Triassic Formation of Southern Hassi R’Mel and Permeability Prediction with Fuzzy Logic Analysis. Algeria
    (Faculty of Hydrocarbons and Chemistry, 2019) Baouche, Rafik
    Characterization of the shaly sand reservoirs by flow units is a practical way of reservoir zonation. This work represents a petrophysical-based method that uses well loggings and core plug data to delineate flow units within the most productive shaly sand reservoir of Triassic Formation in Hassi R’Mel field of Algeria. In the study of oil reservoirs, the prediction of absolute permeability is a fundamental key in reservoir descriptions and has a direct impact on, amongst others, effective completion designs, successful water injection programs and more efficient reservoir management. Usually simple linear regressions of core porosity and permeability data or empirical relationships using various log responses (e.g. porosity, clay volume and water saturation) have been used to predict permeability. These empirical methods only apply locally and ignore the fact that there is no theoretical basis for a relationship between porosity and permeability. The Triassic Formations of Hassi R’Mel fields are composed of sandstones and shaley sandy with dolomite. The general geologic framework obtained from the logs point out for discriminations within the formation. The plots correlating petrophysical parameters and the frequency histograms suggest the presence of distinctive reservoir trends. Triassic Formation is composed of sandy shales, dolomites and evaporates. Logs from the 8 wells are the starting point for the reservoir characterization. The permeability models are constructed and their reliabilities are compared by the regression coefficients for predictions in un-cored sections. This indicates the presence of several “hydraulic flow units” (HFU) of similar petrophysical characteristics. Analysis of core data from the Hassi R’Mel East (HRE) Field in Algeria indicates such a scenario. The predicted permeabilities for each unit show good correlations with the calculated ones from core plugs. Highly reliable future estimations can be based on the derived methods.

    Effect of petrophysical and sedimentological properties 1on heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirsin South Eastern 2Constantine’sReservoirs in Algeria: impact on produc-3tion parameters
    (2019) Baouche, Rafik; Boutaleb, Khadidja; Debiane, Kahina
    Carbonated reservoirs, concentrated mainly in the Middle East, contain about 50% of 10 the world's hydrocarbon resources and the challenge they represent for the sustainable devel-11 opment of oil resources is considerable and their production challenges are commensurate with 12 this potential. 13 The characterization of these reservoirs through the control of their heterogeneities makes it 14 possible to reduce the uncertainties on the quantification of their reserves in order to improve 15 their productivity as well as their recovery rate. 16 The recovery rates obtained from the carbonate reservoirs are mainly attributed to their deposi-17 tional environments, diagenetic history, and the very varied climatic conditions, resulting in a 18 very heterogeneous geology and represent difficult challenges to overcome where the permea-19 bility varies greatly, the only requirement for better results in production. The permeability 20 measured on cores or by production tests can vary from less than 10% to more than 40% on 21 average permeability deposits (10 to 100 md)). In addition to these parameters, the diversity of 22 recovery mechanisms and development patterns, on which the dynamic behavior of the intersti-23 tial fluids depends, are far from being conditioned by the single permeability factor. 24 Nowadays, in Algeria, the valorization of carbonated reservoirs, mainly located at the level of 25 South Eastern Constantinois reservoirs where most of these reserves remain unexploited, are 26 among the strategic and priority objectives, because of their complexity. 27 Indeed, the study of stratigraphic heterogeneities, obtained from logging data and core studies, 28 applied to SouthEastern Constantinois reservoirs (Algeria), shows that the results play an 29 important role in the development of carbonate reservoirs production in this area.

    Analysis of rock mechanical parameters from well log data and Dipole Shear sonic Imager. Application to Algerian sahara "Algeria"
    (2009) Eladj, S.; Baouche, Rafik
    The use of 'DSI' (Dipole Shear sonic Imager), in the Tin Fouye Tabankort area in Algeria allowed the exploitation of the rock mechanics properties in the field of drilling having for objective determination of the margin of ability of the well. The tool 'DSI' has a considerable advantage by its application which makes it possible to combine the technology of monopole and of dipole and to offer an effective method for the determination of the acoustic dynamic mechanical properties in - situ. The practical results of this study showed that: 1 - The phenomenon of BIOT is less when the medium is impermeable, 2- There is a significant effect of the petrophysic properties on the mechanical properties expressed by the effect of the coefficient of BIOT on the variation of the values of the density of mud. The beach of variation of the stability of the well obtained starting from the tool 'DSI' lies between the values 1.40 g/cc and 1.80 g/cc. On the other hand the results obtained by the application of Leake-off test and the successive increase in the density of mud vary from 1.50 g/cc with 1.90 g/cc. With the base of these results, it is necessary to note that the result obtained by tool DSI is almost closer than the practical methods and the percentage of error obtained by the application of this tool is due to the difference between the dynamic and static mechanical properties. The finality of this study is to determine a field of application of this new technique in the study of the stability of the well during drilling
