CONCLUSION

From the results of phase 1, it has been proven that the optimum
porosity-water saturation relationship for the prediction of
permeability for any field is the correlation generated based on
the data got from that field and the RMA Regression fits any data
point best. (Which supports Timurs (1968) work).
From the results of phase 2; experiment 1 and experiment 2, and
phase 3, which comprises of the neural network training with
complete, incomplete, small and large set of data points, it can be
inferred that an optimum training/convergence can be obtained if
the input training sets are large, irrespective of the fact that some
data points might be missing.
The result of Phase1, depicts the high level of intelligence of this
machine network so that even though its result has some measure
of error, its training speed, accuracy and reading rate emphasizes
its time saving, and cost effective advantages.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Phase one is a work in progress. In the statistical world, there exists various regression analysis
tool of which only 4 was used in this work. Investigation into the use of other regression analysis
and the measure of their accuracy should be research. Also, build your own correlation and test
wit other available correlations. Further work can be done on the use of:
Generalized regression
ANCOVA
ANOVA etc.

From the ANN training conducted, an investigation can be conducted to


analyze the behavior of the artificial intelligence in training a small set of
complete data and a small set of complete but highly disjointed data points.
