Most of the world's energy still comes from fossil fuels, and there
are still many strides being made in the efficiency and cost
effectiveness of extracting these important and increasingly more
elusive natural resources. This is only possible if the nature of
the emergence, evolution, and parameter estimation of high grade
reservoir rocks at great depths is known and a theory of their
forecast is developed. Over 60 percent of world oil production is
currently associated with carbonate reservoir rocks. The
exploration, appraisal and development of these fields are
significantly complicated by a number of factors. These factors
include the structural complexity of the carbonate complexes,
variability of the reservoir rock types and properties within a
particular deposit, many unknowns in the evaluation of fracturing
and its spatial variability, and the preservation of the reservoir
rock qualities with depth. The main objective of most studies is
discovering patterns in the reservoir rock property changes of
carbonate deposits of different genesis, composition and age. A
short list of the unsolved issues includes: the role of facies
environment in the carbonate formation; the major geologic factors
affecting the formation of high-capacity reservoir rocks and
preservation of their properties; recommendations as to the use of
the new techniques in studies of the structural parameters; and
establishing a correlation between the major evaluation parameters.
The focus of this volume is to show the scientific and engineering
community a revolutionary process. The author perfected an earlier
developed methodology in studies of the void space structure
(Bagrintseva's method, 1982). This methodology is based on
carbonate rock saturation with luminophore and on special
techniques in processing of photographs made under UV light. The
luminophore technique was combined with the raster electron
microscopy and its variation, the studies under the cathode
luminescence regime. This combination enabled a more detailed study
of the reservoir void space, the nonuniformity in the open fracture
evolution, their morphology, length and variability of openness.
Over recent years these techniques have found wide application.
Useful for the veteran engineer or scientist and the student alike,
this book is a must-have for any geologist, engineer, or student
working in the field of upstream petroleum engineering.
