Application of Rock Physics Modeling to Petrophysical Analysis on Burgan field, Upper Cretaceous, South East Kuwait

The aim of this study is to highlight the application of petrophysical analysis followed by rock physics modelling on the well data of the Burgan field. In reservoir characterization, integration of well information such as petrophysical analysis, rock physics modelling with seismic data is very important for a good reservoir description. In this paper, we proposed the used of a consistent petrophysical analysis of the well data which produces water saturation, porosity, volume of clay and volume of calcite applied to an inclusion-based rock physics model to construct a synthesis of density, P and S velocity. An important advantage is that a consistent model of elastic properties have been built can be applied to quality control of the petrophysical analysis interpretation or to synthesize elastic log if needed for this field. The result of this work is very useful for further seismic reservoir characterization where P and S velocity are able to differentiate sand and shale in Burgan field.
