Abstract
Rock properties significantly influence the production of hydrocarbons from porous media. For example, oil production from unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs in the Gulf of Mexico depends on the relationship between permeability and fluid pressure. One way to approximate this effect in a flow model is to combine porosityāpermeability models with porosityāfluid pressure relationships. This chapter describes the role of the rock properties porosity and permeability in reservoir flow modeling. We begin by reviewing two methods for acquiring rock properties: well logging and pressure transient testing. The IFLO application studies gas injection into a light oil reservoir.
