Abstract
Tight sand reservoir is usually characterized by high heterogeneity and complex pore structure, which makes the permeability calculation a big challenge and leads to difficulties in reservoir classification and productivity evaluation. First, five different Hydraulic Flow Units and respective Porosity-permeability relations were built based on core dataset from Kekeya block, Tuha Basin; and then with BP Neutron Network method, flow unit was classified for un-cored intervals using normalized logging data, and permeability was calculated accordingly. This improved the accuracy of permeability calculation and helped a lot on un-cored reservoir evaluation. In addition, based on porosity, permeability and flow unit type, a new reservoir grading chart was set up by incorporating the testing or production data, which provides important guidance for productivity prediction and reservoir development.
