In this work we propose a method of geochemical feed zone (FZ) analysis based on the assumption of thermochemical equilibrium between geothermal fluids and hydrothermal minerals, for each FZ contributing to well discharge. Using our method, it is possible to calculate the mass fraction and the chemistry of each FZ fluid, namely (1) the pH and the concentrations of SiO2, CO2, Na, K, Ca, Mg, HCO3…
Machine learning (ML) to predict lithofacies from sparse suites of well-log data is difficult in laterally and vertically heterogeneous reservoir formations in oil and gas fields. Meandering, braided fluviatile depositional environments tend to form clastic sequences with laterally discontinuous layers due to the continuous shifting of relatively narrow sandstone channels. Three cored wellbores…
Amalgamations (i.e. summing) of parts can be included as new parts in compositional data analysis, and logratios can then be formed using these amalgamations as well as any of the individual parts themselves. In the first contribution of this paper, a comparison is made of the performance of different logratio transformations in explaining the structure of a geochemical data set − some …
