Abstract

Fractal geometry provides new insight in mathematical description of heterogeneity observed in the pore structure of the reservoir rocks. The fractal dimension is used for description of fractal geometry; bigger the pore fractal dimension, the more heterogeneous the fractal object. This paper presents the fractal analysis of rock samples of Linch pay sand of Jotana field in Western Onshore Basin of India. In this study, fractal dimension is obtained by plotting the mercury saturation versus capillary pressure data generated from high pressure mercury injection studies. The heterogeneity obtained using this fractal approach has been verified with pore geometry analysis
