    The document describes the development of a hydraulic conductivity (HC) method for predicting permeability based on a capillary model. It summarizes the motivation, existing permeability prediction methods, and the reservoir system being studied. It then details the development of the HC method, which models permeability as a function of porosity and hydraulic diameter, calibrated to core data. The HC method is shown to provide better permeability predictions compared to previous methods. It can also distinguish reservoir quality based on depositional environment inferred from core and well log data.

    CONCLUSIONS

    Conclusions

    17/18

    The developed method (HC), as


    compared to HFU method, overall, yields
    relatively better permeability prediction.

    The theoretical correlation, k / vs.


    hydraulic conductivity C, shows that
    slope deviating from m = 0.5 reveals
    the degree of reservoir quality.

    Conclusions (Contd)
    It is also found that the theoretical
    capillary model is able to distinguish
    the reservoir quality based on
    sedimentary environment.
