Abstract

See full text

Systems, methods, and software for predicting a pore throat size distribution are described. A representative method includes obtaining a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation-time distribution data set. The method also includes training a radial basis function (RBF) model based on the NMR relaxation-time distribution data set and a measured pore throat size distribution data set. The method also includes obtaining a subsequent NMR relaxation-time distribution data set. The method also includes employing the trained RBF model to predict a pore throat size distribution data set based at least in part on the subsequent NMR relaxation-time distribution data set. The method also includes storing or displaying a predicted pore throat size distribution corresponding to the predicted pore throat size distribution data set. The predicted pore throat size distribution is associated with a rock sample or subsurface formation volume.
