A seismic-driven 3D model of rock mechanical facies: An example from the Asmari reservoir, SW Iran [PDF]
Asmari Formation is one of the most prolific and important hydrocarbon reservoirs in Iran. This formation in the Cheshmeh-Khosh oilfield shows mixed carbonate-siliciclastic lithology and its elastic modulus changes are correlatable with facies changes ...

The role of relative sea-level fluctuations on dolomitization of carbonate reservoirs Case study: the Oligocene–Miocene Asmari Formation [PDF]
The Oligocene–Miocene Asmari reservoir is dominated by heterogeneity in various aspects, especially porosity and permeability caused mainly by dolomitization.

This study has been conducted on Mansuri onshore oilfield located in Dezful Embayment, south-west Iran. One of the hydrocarbon-bearing formations is a Oligo-Miocene Asmari formation?the most prolific Iranian reservoir rock. Like many other oilfields in the area, the trap in this field is deemed structural (anticline), formed during the collision of the

Intelligent sequence stratigraphy through a wavelet-based decomposition of well log data [PDF]
Identification of sequence boundaries is an important task in geological characterization of gas reservoirs. In this study, a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) approach is applied to decompose gamma ray and porosity logs into a set of wavelet ...
