The results are based on experimental studies of the University of Miami Petrophysics Group. The velocimeter was built by Karl Coyner (Verde Geoscience) and contains a transducer system that simultaneously measures a single compressional wave and two independant orthogonally polarized shear waves. is measured under both variables confining pressures and pore pressures. Confining pressures can be increased up to MPa and pore Distribution of acoustic impedance & geometries define physical responses Acoustic impedance is defined as the product of velocity and density Impedance of carbonates: mainly controlled by variations in velocity Processes which control velocity distribution in carbonates: Depositional environment? Diagenesis? Pore Type? Knowledge is important to interpret sonic logs and seismic data. Unconsolidated carbonates Petrophysical response to change in facies: Grain size distribution as a function of environment Tidal Channel Lagoonal Sediments exposed beach Great Bahama Bank tidal channel Florida Bahamas bank interior Bank Interior tidal bar patch Patch Reef/Tidal Bar interior lagoon back channel Back Reef Channel/ Low Energy Platform Interior low energy tidal bar/lagoon Lagoonal/Low Energy Tidal Bar Grain size distribution: generally high spatial homogeneity at Bahama & Florida samples the higher the energy the more homogeneous is its mean grainsize the higher the energy regime, the better the sorting Mineralogy / velocity: % Total Porosity Porosity: some environments show considerable overlap inverse correlation between porosity and energy regime weak correlation Porosity ooid levee margin 6 Reef Margin Energy 4 2 Florida Margin Grain Size

How diagenesis and carbonate clay ratio effect velocity Unconsolidated shallow water carbonates: Coralgal Ooids Experiment: and porosity as a function of pressure and matrix content.

Clay decreases velocity above a threshold of % porosity.
3 Workshop: Geophysical Applications to Carbonate Reservoirs, 22 SEG Annual Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah. Porosity evolution during diagenesis velocity a function of pore type Microporosity Moldic porosity Densely cemented Interparticle/ Intercrystalline porosity Lessons : Early diagenesis strongly influences velocity in carbonates, overriding burial and age as controlling factors in carbonates. in carbonates is a product of porosity and pore type. scatter is due to different pore types that are created by diagenesis. Constructional diagenesis overprints compaction effect. Combined effect of lithology & diagenesis on pore type & velocity Clino Diagenetic Pore Units Type Facies deeper margin d 2 3 D 4 E mbmp B C D 2 E F Pliocene upper Density and fore Densit Pleist c C and Pliocene Facies a b 3 e g f deeper margin G Miocene mbmp Pleistocene Mineralogy Density Unda Diagenetic Pore Units Mineralogy Type H h (ft/s) 2 (g/cm3) Miocene F/G (ft/s) Platform top (Unda): fairly good correlation between lithology and pore type velocity controlled by pore type Slope (Clino): Connected Molds 2 (g/cm3) Vuggy to Cavernous is the dominant factor to create acoustic impedance contrast in carbonates. Seismic Sequence Boundaries correlate to surfaces of subaerial exposure, changes in facies, mineralogy and/or diagenetic units. Dolomite wt.% Diagenetic Zone Microporosity Calcite wt.% Diagenetic Zone 2 Mixed connected/isolated molds Aragonite wt.% Diagenetic Zone 3 Intercrystalline weaker correlation between lithology and diagenetic units velocity controlled by the combined effect of lithology and diagenetic overprint No correlation exists between dolomite content and velocity!
4 Workshop: Geophysical Applications to Carbonate Reservoirs, 22 SEG Annual Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah. Permeability trends derived from pore type Deviation log Quantitative image analysis of thin sections Observation: Assumption: Pore structure of round pores are more likely to represent low permeable samples. Two dimensional pore shape gives an indication about connectivity of the pores. Porosity vs Permeability Permeability (md) Permeability (md) Pore shape vs Permeability image MICROPOROSITY MOLDIC POROSITY INTER/INTRAFRAME Endmember Conclusions High diagenetic alteration potential distinguishes carbonates from other No correlation exists between dolomite content and velocity. Shallow water carbonates have higher average velocity values than carbonates from the deeper shelf, or basin due to lack of clay. The velocitydeviation log can provide continuous pore type record and display trends in permeability. Pore shape parameter obtained by image analysis of thin sections show positive correlation with permeability.
