The typical characteristics of carbonate reservoir is heterogeneous. The reservoirs were deposited in slope of marginal neritic carbonate plat form and marginal reefs in Middle East Oil Field. The vuggy carbonate reservoir pore systems include intergranular pores, mould pores, intercrystal pores, micropores and dissolution fracture. I t can be divided into separate vugs and touching vugs on the basis of vug interconnection. The goal of well-log evaluation is to describe the spatial distribution of petrophysical parameters, such as porosity and permeability. Well-log evaluation and core analyses provide quantitative measurements of petrophysical parameters in the vicinity of the well bore. The key for quantifying physics models is buildup the relationship between the log data and the core analyses result. The purpose of reservoir evaluation is to use the Interactive Mineral Solver module of Interactive Physics software to solve for mineralogy, porosity and permeability. The result of the analyses shows that calculated parameters has high coherence with core sample test. For vuggy carbonate reservoir evaluation, It shows that accurate values of physics parameters can be predicted using selected module in well-log data processing and interpretation.

The evaluation of shaley formations has long been a difficult task. Presence of shale and shale types in some of the Iranian formations are one of the most important factors. Shale types have to be considered, because existence of shale reduces, porosity and permeability of the reservoir to some degree. Shale Distributed in formations in three basic types, Dispersed, Laminar and structural. Each of these shale types has different effect on porosity, permeability and saturation. Dispersed shale reduces porosity and permeability to a great degree, but, laminar shale and structural shale have little effect on petrophysical parameters. In this investigation, shale types, Shale volume and effective porosity of Kangan Formation have been determined from well log data and compared with crossplotting. In other words, a triangle Density-Neutron cross-plot is used to determine above parameters. The area of study lies in central oil fields of Iran, where one of the well is used (Tabnak Well C). Tabnak Well C selected to study Kangan Formation from Iranian oil field, in Pars onshore. This study illustrates that distribution of shale types in Kangan Formation is mainly dispersed shale with few of laminar shale, and percentage of effective porosity (φe) decreases with increasing depths for Kangan Formation.

Permeability and porosity are the most difficult parameters to estimate in the oil reservoir because they are varying significantly over the reservoir, especially in the carbonate formation. Porosity and permeability can only be sampled at the well location. However, porosity is easy to estimate directly from well log data, permeability is not. In addition, permeability measurements from core samples are very expensive. Carbonate reservoirs are very difficult to characterize because of their tendency to be tight and heterogeneous due to deposition and diagenetic processes. Therefore, many engineers and geologists try to establish methods to get the best characterization for the carbonate reservoir. In this study, available routine core data from three wells are used to develop permeability model based on hydraulic flow unit method (HFUM) (RQI/FZI) for cretaceous carbonate middle reservoirs of Bai Hassan oil field. The results show that the HFUM is work perfectly to characterize and predict permeability for uncored wells because R2 ≥ 0.9. It is indicating that permeability can be accurately predicted from porosity if rock type is known.

In light of complex lithology and serious heterogeneity of carbonate reservoir, the paper presents a comprehensive study of petrophysical characteristics of it. By using available well log data and fuzzy mathematical method, a lithologic model for identification of carbonate reservoir is developed. According to recognized fractural types, a model for fractural porosity interpretation is established. By way of correction of small core sample using big sample, relationship between core porosity and effectively estimated well log porosity is built up, obtaining effective porosities. Using different fractural types and dual lateral log data, a model for fluid saturation explanation is set up. Furthermore, these models and measured information are used for feasibility evaluation of them, reaching higher consistency and satisfied results.

   Petrophysical characterization is the most important stage in reservoir management. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate reservoir properties and lithological identification of Nahr Umar Formation in Nasiriya oil field. The available well logs are (sonic, density, neutron, gamma-ray, SP, and resistivity logs). The petrophysical parameters such as the volume of clay, porosity, permeability, water saturation, were computed and interpreted using IP4.4 software. The lithology prediction of Nahr Umar formation was carried out by sonic -density cross plot technique. Nahr Umar Formation was divided into five units based on well logs interpretation and petrophysical Analysis: Nu-1 to Nu-5. The formation lithology is mainly composed of sandstone interlaminated with shale according to the interpretation of density, sonic, and gamma-ray logs. Interpretation of formation lithology and petrophysical parameters shows that Nu-1 is characterized by low shale content with high porosity and low water saturation whereas Nu-2 and Nu-4 consist mainly of high laminated shale with low porosity and permeability. Nu-3 is high porosity and water saturation and Nu-5 consists mainly of limestone layer that represents the water zone.
