Abstract
An integrated interpretation methodology is described that evaluates carbonate reservoirs. The methodology consists of first classifying the rock facies. A geometrical model specific to the classification is then used to predict the response of the rock to a variety of stimuli. A reconstruction of the geometrical model is made by comparing the measurements with the model predictions. The model is then used to predict the resistivity and the hydraulic transport properties of the rock, thereby enabling computation of both the reserves and their production behavior.
