Abstract: For carbonate reservoirs which undergo significant overprint of diagenesis,sedimentary facies-constrained reservoir modeling method is no longer applicable.This paper puts forward a rock type-constrained geological modeling method for this kind of reservoirs.By taking advantage of the available core data such as porosity,permeability and capillary pressure,we used Winland R35 method to identify the rock types of carbonate reservoirs,and to derive porosity-permeability relationships for different rock types.The relationships between rock types and log responses were then established for the cored wells,and were utilized to predict rock types in uncored wells.A porosity model was finally built based on the coordinated constraint of rock type and seismic acoustic impedance volume,and a permeability model was built by using the porosity-permeability relationships for different rock types.The reliability of geological model was checked by the method of decreasing wells.This method is particularly applicable to carbonate reservoirs with strong diagenesis and deep burial depth.
