Abstract
Summary: We discuss and compare three different approaches for permeability determination from logs from a practical point of view. The three methods, empirical, statistical, and the recently introduced "virtual measurement," make use of empirically determined models, multiple variable regression, and artificial neural networks, respectively. We apply all three methods to well log data from a heterogeneous formation and compare the results with core permeability, which is considered to be the standard. Our comparison focuses on the predictive power of each method.Keywords
