Carbonates reservoirs corresponds on about 50% of the hydrocarbon reservoir in the planet . This type of lithology presents different forms of heterogeneity, which are the main causes of errors in its characterization. This misunderstanding, can induces erroneous estimative elastic modules of rocks in saturated state. The main goal of this work is to perform a comparative analysis of fluid substitution models in unconventional carbonate reservoir. Specifically, fluid substitution processes analyzed in outcrops from Brazilian Northeast, under controlled laboratory conditions (temperature, pressure and degree of saturation) and under perspectives of the petrophysical and ultrasonic features by conventional theories (Gassmann, Biot) and unconventional (Brown and Korringa, Muller and Sahay). In this research, we analyzed six samples of carbonate rock and one sample of sandstone rock. The input data our analysis were: permeability, porosity, rock and grain density, elastic measures of compressional (Vp) and shear (Vs1 and Vs2) velocities. The measure of velocities was performed in cases of 100% gas (dry rock) and then replaced by water (100 % saturated by water). Our results show, that predictions performed by conventional fluid substitution models best fit in experimental measurements of sample considered homogenous. However, predictions performed by unconventional models (e. g., Muller and Sahay) shown best fit with most carbonates types, including tufa and limestanes.

Verificação experimental do modelo efetivo de Hudson-Crampin para meios anisotrópicos fissurados cujo o meio de fundo apresenta isotropia transversal

The physical modeling of cracked media, using scaled laboratory experiments, has been used as an alternative for understanding the effect of anisotropy on the characterization of the cracked hydrocarbon reservoir. The main objective of this work was to verify experimentally the predictions of Hudson-Crampin’s effective model to cracked media. For this purpose, ultrasonic and petrophysical measurements were performed on sixteen synthetic anisotropic samples with different crack densities distributed in four groups with distincts aspect ratios (0.08, 0.20, 0.32 and 0.52). Beside theses, one sample no cracks and weak VTI ansisotropy were used as reference sample. The cracks were simulated by void spaces in the form of discs in an matrix (made with sand and cement). Related to the estimatives of velocity performed by the theoretical models, Hudson-Crampin’s model presents a better adjustment for VP and VS propagating perpendicular to the plane of cracks for the dry and saturated conditions. These estimatives became more evident in the case where the crack density and aspect ratios are low. In addition to the velocity values, our comparison was also performed in terms of Thomsen’s parameters ε, γ and δ.
