Core-log integration and application of machine learning technique for better reservoir characterisation of Eocene carbonates, Indian offshore

Rock types, pore structures and permeability are essential petrophysical outputs, and they contribute considerably to the highest degree of uncertainty in reservoir characterisation. These factors have a strong influence on exploration and field development decisions. Core analysis is the best appro...
