| Abstract | Permeability is most the useful petrophysical property for guiding reservoir flow performance. In the Pattani Basin, Gulf of Thailand, the perforation strategy is complicated and requires accurate petrophysical property measurements in the reservoir in order to design the most effective perforation program. Factors that control reservoir permeability in Pattani Basin are not well understood, so currently there is no accurate method to predict and calculate the reservoir permeability in non-cored intervals in wells in Gulf of Thailand. In this study, the aim is to broaden a permeability prediction approach across a large area in the southern Pattani Basin with broad variations in depositional parameters. The results show different trends with different permeability prediction equations for each depositional facies. There are four facies defined by using the differences of lithology, based on sedimentary structures and depositional environments in the reservoirs namely a.) Conglomerate and conglomeratic sandstone b.) Fining-upward, cross-bedded sandstone c.) Interbedded sandstone and siltstone d.) Coarsening-upward, alternating sandstone and siltstone. The permeability prediction equation matches to raw data from core study have a coefficient of determination rank from 0.57 to 0.75, with an overall coefficient of determination of 0.81. The results from prediction equations calibrated between predicted permeability values and actual permeability values show an overall coefficient of determination of 0.40. Actual production performance validation shows an overall success rate of permeability prediction when using the study equations is 56.82%. The predicted permeability can be used to guide for the sequence of perforation and also guide perforation locations in the reservoir sands. |
