Effect of overburden pressure on determination of reservoir rock types using RQI/FZI, FZI* and Winland methods in carbonate rocks

Abstract Rock typing is an important tool in evaluation and performance prediction of reservoirs. Different techniques such as flow zone indicator (FZI), FZI* and Winland methods are used to categorize reservoir rocks into distinct rock types. Generally, these methods are applied to petrophysical da...
