The purpose of this review paper is to show the possibilities of carbonate reservoir
characterization using well logging and laboratory measurements. Attention was focused on …

Carbonate rocks are in general complex and commonly contain compound pore systems
that can significantly affect the variations of physical properties; their petrophysical …

The electrical resistivity‐porosity relationship of porous media is critical for reliable formation
evaluation. Archie's equation is empirical, and uses only porosity as pore‐space property …

Resistivity index curves describe the relationship between electrical resistivity and water
saturation of porous media and are critical in formation evaluation and for the geophysical …

Archie's parameters, cementation factor (m), saturation exponent (n) and tortuosity factor (a),
are general factor that have effects on water saturation magnitude, due to their sensitivity to …

The cretaceous carbonate reservoirs in South Iraq are long known for exhibiting highly
varying properties within small sections of the reservoir, the interplay of rock texture and …

Borehole measurements of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are routinely used to
estimate in situ rock and fluid properties. Conventional NMR interpretation methods often …

Several dual‐and triple‐porosity models have been proposed for quantifying the porosity
exponent (m) in multiporosity reservoirs. Total porosity (ϕ) is usually portioned into the …

The complex pore structure of rock may influence resistivity logs and make it challenging to
perform saturation estimations with better precision. For example, water saturation may go …

The petrophysical evaluation of carbonate reservoirs presents a significant challenge due to
complex diagenetic processes that alter reservoir properties. Advanced log measurements …
