        Secondray and Tertiary recovery can lead to severe and Permanent reductions in permebility due to the interactions between injected fluids and the reservoir rock that is especially true in high clay content , low permebility , poorly consolidatel reservoir. After the fluid with a high PH value enters the reservoir , the texture of clay minerals and siliceous cement in the reservoir is destroyed due to the dissolution of clay minerals and cement and the release of fine particles produced, thus causing reservior plugging. Formation damage could be both temporarily due to the precipitation of reaction products caused by interaction between high PH fluids and reservior rock which will result in pore plugging .In this study , a series of core flooding experiments have been carried out to determine the critical PH of Alkaline fluids for plug samples of Fahlyian carbonate formation. Alkaline fluids with different PH (7, 8.5, 10 and 12) were injected into plug samples and the alkaline sensitivity of the carbonate formation has been measured in both qualitative and quantitative forms by a new applicable method .using this approach will result in the accurate estimation of the degree of formation damage .result indicate that used plugs show different behavior when exposed to fluids with different alkalinity and the degree of resulted formation damage varies form zero to serious and in certain cases are noticeable and Ireversible.therefore ,PH of injecting fluids must be kept less than its threshold value to prevent formation damage.

        Abstruct Reservoir lithology determination is one of the main studies used for well correlation and analyzing productive zones of the reservoir. The best way foer lithology determination is using core and cutting information . Nevertheless,in most wells these data is not complete and continual, so in these cases usually use well logging for lithology estimation of petrophysical well data with Clustering- Estimation approach . This method has been generalized according to one well from one of the oil fields in South of Iran that contains core data . Then this method is generalized in un cored wells. Clustering is used as a way for grouping well data in homogenous lithology clusters After ward, percentage of mineral is estimated in each of these clusters. The regression coefficients are calculated 92.93% and 74.99% between real and estimated data respectively for calcite and dolomite in one of the wells. The results with high accuracy show the generalization of this method. Manuscript profile

        Abstruct Survey and study of porosity and the form and the size of that in oil and gas reservoirs are important due to its key role in reservoir quality and productivity. In this paper, unlike conventional methods of using cores to recognize the geometry and morphology of porosity, FMS image log and thin section of cutting from drilling are used .after determining the over all dimension of the porosity shown as black patches and spots by FMS log, the shape and the size of the porosity was studied in the form of petrological study,based on thin sections from Mzdouran reservoir formation(lower Jurassic) in one of the gas fields in the East of Kopedagh basin. Tracing and comparing of the results of the two methods show a good correlation for determining the type and geometry of porosity .Data fusion of FMS log data with petrological studies of thin sections of cutting from drilling has advantages the most important of which is the possibility of replacement of core with FMS log and thin sections in order to determining the geometry of porosity.

        The hydrocarbon seepages theory puts forward a cause and effect relation ship between the oil and gas reservoir s and the specific surface anomalies which are basically related to hydrocarbon leakages as well as their related alterations. Hence,the spectral reflectance of the hydrocarbons and their linked mineral alterntions produce credible pieces of evidence for oil and gas ex ploration .Hyperion images of EO-1 satellite was used in this study for identifying the oil seepages and their relevant alterations. After collecting the required data,the images under went the needed preprocessing. In order to recognize the oil seepages, these corrected data along with field-sampled spectrometric ones were employed. Then, VISA and SCM combined model was applied to indirectly identify the hydrocarbon seepages . Moreover, two hydrocarbon indexes were developed for direct recognition of the hydrocarbon seeps using Hyperion images. The finding indicate that the two mentioned techniques are efficacious for the purpose of the study at hand Manuscript profile

        Abstruct There are two key method of simulating multi-phase flow experiments. One is the actual estimation of multi-phase flow properties from measured data, and the other is the representation of the analytical functions for relative permeability and capillary pressure .It is essential that these functions have sufficient degrees of freedom to model the measured data whilst remaining straightforward and easy to communicate. A new smooth and flexible three-parameter analytical correlation for relative permeability is proposed . Results from e.g. unsteady state relative permeability experiments often exhibit behavior which is difficult to model using e.g. Corey correlation. The new correlation influences different parts of the relative permeability curve and thereby captures variable behavior across the entire saturation range .The validity of new correlation is demonstrated by utilizing unsteady-state experiments performed at ambient conditions on core samples from the Southern Iranian reservoir rocks . results show that there is a logical relation between the basic rock properties and tuning parameters against basic parameters, i.e. permeability and porosity , should be found . Knowing the logical correlation and the basic parameters from routine analysis or logs, the tuning parameters and therefore relative permeability curves will be easily calculated. Manuscript profile
