Abstract:A key problem of effectiveness evaluation in fractured-vuggy carbonatite reservoirs is how to accurately extract fracture and vug information from well logging data. To solve this problem, we present a fracture/vug plane porosity extracting method based on wavelet transform modulus maxima and image dissection. Our processing object is button-electrode conductivity data. First we eliminate formation background noise caused by rugged borehole walls, then we dissect the de-noised data to get clear fracture-vug sub-images using the the image dissection method based on wavelet-transform-modulus-maxima, and calculate parameters including fracture-vug total plane porosity, fracture plane porosity and vug plane porosity from the sub-images. We extract plane porosity parameters from electrical imaging logging data collected from Ordovician carbonatite reservoirs in Tarim Basin. Besides, we use core average fracture-vug porosity calculated from CT scanning images, dual-lateral logging resistivity and relatively-connected fractured-vuggy porosity obtained by the triple-porosity model to confirm rationality of plane porosity parameters extracted from electrical imaging logging data. Moreover, we do a well testing operation. Comparison among these parameters or results indicates that there exists good consistencies between the fracture-vug plane porosity extracted from electrical imaging logging data and other results including the core CT average fracture-vug porosity, dual-lateral logging resistivity, relatively-connected fractured-vuggy porosity, and well testing results. These consistencies verify the rationality of fracture-vug total plane porosity, fracture plane porosity and vug plane porosity extracted from electrical imaging logging data using our wavelet-transform-based image dissection method, and indicate that the extracted parameters can be used to evaluate the permeability and effectiveness of fractured-vuggy carbonatite reservoirs.
