Pyritization effect on well logging parameters in Jurassic reservoirs within S-E Western Siberian oil fields

Authigenic sulfide mineralization in hydrocarbon-saturated reservoirs distorts the electrical and density properties of rocks. The correlation between volumetric density, electro-conductive minerals and open porosity in 300 samples were determined. This fact made it possible to develop a nomograph in evaluating oil saturated reservoirs and could be applied in well geophysical survey data interpretation.

Petrophysical properties of rocks in seismogenic crustal blocks of the southeastern Greater Caucasus and their geological and geophysical interpretation

The elastic and density properties of rocks of the Shamakha-Ismailly seismogenic blocks are studied by the ultrasonic pulse method in quasi-hydrostatic high pressure apparatuses. An attempt is made to more accurately determine the upper crustal lithology of these blocks. The observed values of the elastic and density characteristics of the rocks at high pressures suggest that the upper layers in the Ismailly and Shamakha blocks can consist of sedimentary carbonate rocks such as marls, sandstones, mudstones, and limestones. The middle layers apparently consist of volcaniclastic rocks: lithoclastic tuffs, andesites, etc. The lower layer (basement) in both blocks is likely composed of basic rocks such as basalts, trachybasalts, etc. According to the values of elastic wave velocities and densities, gabbroid rocks may compose the fourth layer of the Buinuz intrusion, identified from seismic data.
