Feasibility Study of SQS Attribute Application for Porosity Estimation in Carbonate Reservoir, Central Luconia

Abstract

This study shows the reliability of an improved attribute or elastic properties, namely SQs and SQp to estimate porosity in a carbonate reservoir. Both SQp and SQs attributes are reliable to predict porosity in a carbonate reservoir. However, SQs shows a better correlation (0.96662). Thus it was selected as an input to calculate empirical equation which, was later used to create a porosity model. The model was compared with actual porosity from the real well data, which yielded a high correlation of 0.961911. Thus, SQs is highly reliable to estimate the porosity in the carbonate reservoir through the empirical equation.
