Abstract

In order to evaluate the pore system of Jahrum Formation in coastal Fars, the microscopic examination and image analysis of thin sections have been done. Based on this investigation, 7 rock types have been identified and RCAL data and petrophysical logs are used. Finally, the results of the image analysis were compared with the experimental and petrophysical investigations. Image analysis is an easy and strong method in the evaluation of rock porosity; it is also cheaper and faster. In addition, this method provides valuable data on the type, shape, size, and distribution of pores. These data provide a thorough and accurate understanding of the reservoir rock quality.
