Definitions
• Porosity Cutoff:– Pores with porosity less than cutoff value,
are non reservoir rock.
• Permeability cutoff:– Pores with Permeability less than cutoff
value, will not allow fluids to flow
• Water Saturation Cutoff:– Pores with Sw greater than cutoff will have
water saturation of 1-Sgr

Conclusions• Porosity is the most sensitive cutoff parameter.
• Quality of HM decide the value of porosity cutoff.
• Applying no permeability cutoffs in gas reservoirs is a good strategy.
• Water saturation cutoff > 65% is reasonable for deep gas reservoirs.
• Conduct risk assessment at various geometrical, geological and PVT variables before simulation.

Recommendations
• Careful review of available data is the best strategy for accurate interpolations and hence selection of cutoffs.
• Net pay should be seen in light of reservoir characterization and depletion mechanism.
• Reservoir simulation remains the best tool to validate initial-in-place numbers and reserve estimates.
