        1 - Geochemical study of Tar-mat formation in Bangestan reservoir in Kupal oil field
         
        Kupal anticline is elongated and almost symmetric. This structure is located in Northwest of Ahwaz city and consists of two reservoir including Bangestan and Asmari. Kazhdumi, Pabdeh and Gurpi formations are probable source rocks and Gachsaran Formation constitutes the More
        Kupal anticline is elongated and almost symmetric. This structure is located in Northwest of Ahwaz city and consists of two reservoir including Bangestan and Asmari. Kazhdumi, Pabdeh and Gurpi formations are probable source rocks and Gachsaran Formation constitutes the cap rock. Because project topic is defined on Bangestan Group, so reservoir studies of Bangestan is focused on Sarvak Formation. Rock-Eval and geochemical analyses conducted on source rocks indicated that Pabdeh Formation is at early stage of oil generation window in the Kupal oil field. Kazhdumi Formation has not been drilled at this field, so geochemical and maturity assessment of this formation has been evaluated using samples from adjacent oil fields including Marun and Haftgel. Geochemical analyses indicated that Kazhdumi Formation is mature enough and is considered to be the main source rock. The aim of this project is investigating Tar-mat in Bangestan reservoir in Kupal field. It is thought that Tar-mat layer was formed in vicinity of oil-water contact and can be related to processes including natural deasphaltening, gravity segregation and oil-mixing. Based on Rock-Eval pyrolysis, pyrolysis-GC performed on Sarvak oil, it is suggested primary asphaltene formed from source rock does not exist in the studied oil but it is derived from secondary asphaltene by chemical reactions occurring due to oil-mixing in production well. In addition, analysis performed on asphaltene in oil zone, oil-water contact and water zone suggest that Tar-mat was formed in oil water contact region due to oxidation process. This layer acts as impermeable seal and prevents water flow to oil Manuscript profile

        Studies of the electrical Rock Type a very important role in the development process plays a field.In these studies, theporo-perm Cores data and well log data used for reservoir simulations. In the present research, the flow of four flow units was determined in the reservoir using porosity and permeability data from well logging core by regional index method. In some wells, using well logging the basic model of electrical rocktype was determined with three methods of MRGC, SOM, and DYNAMIC. The determined facies by different methods were correlated with the flow unit. Finally, SOM method was selected, which has the best concordance. The initially created electrofacieswere reduced to 4 electrofacies due to the similarity of some parameters such as effective porosity and gamma logging. To ensure the accuracy of the electrical rock type by neural networks, these electrofacies were correlated with capillary pressure data. After confirming the determined electrofacies by capillary pressure, these facies were propagated in other wells in this field. This created a model, which was able to separate different parts of the reservoir. In this model, different parts of the reservoir were determined in terms of reservoir quality. Manuscript profile

        3 - Reservoir characteristics prediction using the geostatistical model. Case study: Bangestan reservoir, Ziloi Field, SW Iran

        The geostatistical model is considered as a useful tool for predicting the oil potential of reservoirs. In the present study, an attempt is made to review the importance of the geostatistical model in the reservoir characteristics, to model and examine the changes in the petrophysical parameters of the Bangestan reservoir in the Ziloi field despite the limited number of boreholes. This carbonate reservoir consists of Ilam, Surgah and Sarvak formations and was divided into eight zones. In the modeling process, the information required for the 3D model, including geophysical interpretations, well description information, and 2D maps along with their quality control (QC), were entered into the RMS software. The construction model was prepared based on the top levels of the structures and the depth information of the wells entering the reservoir. These data were used indirectly or directly in software with high grading capability to create levels. The depth level map of the top of Ilam Formation was entered into the model as an interpretation level, digitalization and as a base contour map. Isochore maps of other zones were prepared using the depths of wells entering different parts of the reservoir. The prediction of the distribution pattern of changes in the petrophysical features of the reservoir was prepared based on geostatistical methods, average porosity maps, and water saturation. According to the results of the modeling, it was revealed that the Ziloi field has a structural complexity, caused the heterogeneity of the reservoir and increased the risk of predicting the behavior of the reservoir. Comparison of reservoir zones showed that zone 3 has better hydrocarbon potential than other zones. One of the effective factors to improve its reservoir quality is the dolomitization process. Changes in the distribution values of water saturation and porosity showed that the reservoir properties improve from the southeast to the northwest of the field. Manuscript profile
