2.1.1 Geological data

1. Core observation and identification
Sedimentary rhythm, sedimentary structure, interlayer distribution, fracture
characteristics, etc.
2. Petrophysical analysis
Porosity, permeability, oil (gas) saturation, relative permeability, interfacial tension,
wettability, capillary pressure and pore structure.
3. Petrological analysis
Rock thin section analysis (clastic composition, interstitial composition and
content, etc.), cast thin section analysis (pore type and size distribution, throat type
, fracture characteristics, etc.), particle size analysis, SEM (Scanning electron
microscope) analysis (mineral type, throat characteristics, etc.), X-ray diffraction
analysis (clay mineral type and content), etc.
4. Geochemical analysis
Vitrinite ref lectance (Ro), maximum pyrolysis peak temperature (Tmax), sporopollen
color, stable isotope, trace element analysis.
5. Core flow test
Reservoir sensitivity test (velocity sensitivity, water sensitivity, salt sensitivity, acid
sensitivity, etc.), water f looding test (oil displacement ef ficiency, remaining oil
formation mechanism), core long-term water f looding test (dynamic change of
pore structure and petrophysical properties during water flooding).

2.1.2 Seismic data

The application of 3D seismic in oilfield development is

mainly to improve the resolution to achieve the purpose of
small level oil reservoir research.

Cross-well seismic method is expected to improve the

accuracy of reservoir cross-well prediction to a great extent,
but it has been widely used commercially due to technical
problems at present.

Time-shift seismic is expected to monitor changes in fluid

movement during oilfield development.

2.1.3 Logging data

It generally includes gamma logging (GR), spontaneous

potential logging (SP), acoustic time difference logging (AC),
neutron logging (CNL), density logging (DEN), resistivity
logging (RT) or induction logging (IL), dip logging and so on.
For fractured formation, there are micro resistivity scanning
log, imaging series log, full wave train log, etc.
In the process of waterflooding development, water-
flooded logging, namely production logging, includes C/O
logging, neutron lifetime logging, electromagnetic
propagation logging, dielectric constant logging, nuclear
magnetic logging, gravity logging, etc.
