RESUMO

Data used for studying petroleum reservoirs are obtained through drill core, well logs, seismic records and, as a consequence, they present different sampling scales. Multivariate geostatistics is a manner of integrating these data in order to co-estimate a poorly sampled variable based not only on its own information but also on a densely sampled variable. In this study, ordinary cokriging, collocated cokriging and kriging with external drift were applied to co-estimate porosity in the Namorado Oil Field based on measures of acoustic impedance. Correlation coefficients between co-estimates and sample porosity values, sample statistics and correlation coefficients between co-estimates and acoustic impedance measures have been examined. Correlation between co-estimated and sample values of porosity is about 0.7. Lower correlation was obtained by ordinary cokriging applied to heterotopic data. Co-estimates statistics such as mean, median and standard deviation are always lower than their equivalent sample statistics. Values of maximum and minimum indicate that co-estimates were smoothed except for collocated cokriging with Markov Chain results. Co-estimates obtained by this last method also presented the best correlation to acoustic impedance measures, though this correlation is very low and lower than that calculated through sample data. In addition to that, it was done petrophysical characterization of lithologic facies described for this oil field, elaborated 3D facies model and calculated the porous volume of the reservoir. Facies 1 constitutes a high quality reservoir rock since it presents the highest values of porosity and permeability. Facies 2 represents a inferior quality reservoir rock because it is porous but less permeable than the first. Facies 3 and 4 are seal rock for their low porosity and permeability values. In 3D model, facies 1, 2 and 4 are intercalated to each other while facies 3 presents a wider and more continuous distribution. Finally, the porous volumes were higher for the reservoirs defined based on porosity models estimated by collocated cokriging with Markov Chain and ordinary cokriging applied to heterotopic data.
