Petrophysics study of sandstone by ultrasonic pulse velocity

Abstract

Several sandstone core sample had been tested for their petrophysical properties in the laboratories. Reservoir rocks are mostly consisting of sedimentary rock. There are few important characteristics of reservoir rocks in petroleum industry that need to be studied for further development. Among them are petrophysical properties such as density, porosity, water saturation and permeability. In this study tests have been carried out to examine the relationship between petrophysical properties and acoustic velocity using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Method (UPVM). Result of the laboratory test have been used to determine physical rock properties from acoustic velocity data.
