Effective Medium Models

Multimineral log analysis is a quantitative formation evaluation tool for geological and petrophysical reservoir characterization. Rock composition can be estimated by solving equations that relate log measurements to the petrophysical endpoints of minerals and fluids. Due to errors in log data and uncertainties in petrophysical endpoints of constituents, we propose using effective medium models from rock physics as additional independent information to validate or constrain the results. In this paper, we examine the Voigt-Reuss (VR) bound model, self-consistent approximation (SCA), and differential effective medium (DEM). The VR bound model provides the first-order quality control of multimineral results. We first show a conventional carbonate reservoir study with intervals where the predicted effective medium models from multimineral results are inconsistent with the measured elastic properties. We use the VR bound model as an inequality constraint in multimineral analysis for plausible alternative solutions. SCA and DEM models provide good estimates in low porosity intervals and imply geological information for the porous intervals. Then, we show a field case of the Bakken and Three Forks formations. A linear interpolation of the VR bound model helps validate multimineral results and approximate the elastic moduli of clay. There are two major advantages to use our new method (a) rock physics effective medium models provide independent quality control of petrophysical multimineral results, and (b) multimineral information leads to realistic rock physics models.

A geometric factor properly describing the microstructure of a rock is compulsory for effective medium models to accurately predict the elastic and electrical rock properties, which, in turn, are of great importance for interpreting data acquired by seismic and electromagnetic surveys, two of the most important geophysical methods for understanding the earth. Despite the applications of cementation exponent for the successful modeling of electrical rock properties, however, there has been no demonstration of cementation exponent as the geometric factor for the elastic rock properties. We have developed a workflow to model the elastic properties of clean and normal granular rocks through the combination of effective medium modeling approaches using cementation exponent as the geometric factor. Based on the dedicated modeling approaches, we find that cementation exponent can be adequately used as a geometric factor for the elastic properties of granular rocks. Further results highlight the effects of cementation exponent on the elastic and joint elastic-electrical properties of granular rocks. The results illustrate the promise of cementation exponent as a geometric link for the joint elastic-electrical modeling to better characterize the earth through integrated seismic and electromagnetic surveys.

We report measured and calculated frequencies of elastic waves propagating in columnar porous 4H-SiC, an analytically tractable system. The sample was prepared using photo-electrochemical etching followed by mechanical polishing. The frequencies were measured using Brillouin scattering spectroscopy in backscattering geometry. The effective elastic constants, ordinary and extraordinary indices of refraction, and mass density, all obtained using effective medium models, are used to calculate the frequencies. Although the quasistatic limit is not strongly satisfied, the agreement between the measured and calculated values is good.
