Standard porosity-based permeability measurements often do not indicate the best zones to perforate or reflect the ultimate hydrocarbon production potential. Permeability measurements using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) bin-distribution and bulk volume irreducible (BVI) data are compared to standard porosity-based permeability measurements as indicators of hydrocarbon production.

Predicting permeability from porosity
Cubic Packing
φ = 47.6 % k = 5000 md r = 2.0 µ
φ = 47.6 % k = 5.00 md r = 0.5 µ
· Porosity is controlled by: x Packing x Grain size distribution
· Permeability is controlled by: x Packing x Grain size distribution x Grain size
Porosity is independent of grain size

Seven wells were drilled in Hemphill and Wheeler Counties, TX All were air drilled to avoid drilling problems and mud invasion into the formation 5 wells were loaded with fluid before logging 2 were logged with no fluid in the well

Rotary cores from an offset well were used to aid in the petrophysical analysis. Cores were characterized by NMR laboratory measurements to define BVI and SBVI relationships and permeability parameters. Triple combo data was logged. Sonic was not, but could have been used in the frac design. NMR (Magnetic Resonance Imaging Log – MRIL) was recommended and run as a porosity, BVI, and permeability measurement.

The Bin Perm Equation is based on the relationship of pore size to T2 time. High porosity in the larger bin sizes increases bin permeability:

Permeability measurements using NMR bin-porosity and BVI data provide a good indicator of ultimate hydrocarbon production, at least in this Granite Wash field study. More comparisons are suggested to determine if this method can be applied to other fields and formation types.
