AbstractIn this study, author would like to construct log-derived J-function to estimate initial water saturation, capillary pressure and relative permeability and so on. J-function is normally buildup based on core analysis, but cores were not available in study region, in other hand, taking core is often very expensive. Before constructing J-function, two main facies identified, are channel and mouth bar, they are main sands of oil and gas potential due to good porosity and permeability and also big sand bodies. Two J-functions for facies were constructed, the results indicate that the pore size distribution of mouth bars is different from one of channels, it likely relate to existence of high calcite cement and secondary vugs (dissolution of unstable minerals as feldspars, lithics and bio-burrows in mouth bar sands), in general, reservoir quality of channel sands is better than one of mouth bars.
