Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual framework for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery by integrating petrophysical field studies with geological and engineering data. The framework is designed to enhance the accuracy of reservoir characterization and improve decision-making processes in exploration and production. Key components of the framework include the systematic collection and integration of petrophysical data, the development of static and dynamic reservoir models, and the application of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). By offering a more comprehensive understanding of reservoir properties and behavior, the framework allows for more precise well placement, tailored production strategies, and effective implementation of enhanced recovery techniques. The potential impact of this framework on exploration success rates and production efficiency is significant, promising to reduce operational risks and increase recovery rates. Furthermore, the paper discusses the challenges associated with data integration and model validation, providing potential solutions and suggesting future research directions to refine further and enhance the framework. Integrating emerging technologies is highlighted as critical in advancing the framework's capabilities, ensuring its relevance in an evolving energy landscape.
