AbstractThis paper presents improved models for interpretation, correlation, and prediction of the variations of permeability and porosity in petroleum-bearing rock, in which the pore topology is evolving by geochemical and geomechanical rock and fluid interactions during formation damage and stimulation processes. The permeability and porosity relationships considering pore evolution by precipitation and dissolution, and stress and temperature variation are developed. The present approaches are demonstrated and verified by analyzing a variety of reported data and shown to lead to accurate and functionally well behaving correlation. The applications demonstrate that the improved dynamic models accurately predict the measured porosity and permeability data. The associated analysis also lends itself to the physical interpretation of the variation of porosity and permeability in terms of the governing mechanisms.
