Carbonate reservoirs, influenced by depositional and diagenetic processes and characterized by features like faults and vugs that impact storage capacity, require more than traditional Borehole Imaging logs ($BHIs$) for accurate porosity data. These data are essential for geological assessments, production forecasting, and reservoir simulations. This work aims to address this limitation by developing methods to measure and monitor the sustainability of carbonate reservoirs and exploring the application of sustainability principles to their management. The study integrates $BHIs$ and conventional logs from two wells to classify porosity-based facies within the Barra Velha Formation ($BVF$) in the Santos Basin. The methodology involves four steps: (i) analyzing conventional logs; (ii) segmenting BHI logs; (iii) integrating conventional and segmented BHI logs using Self-Organizing Maps ($SOM$); and (iv) interpreting the resulting classes. Matrix porosity values and non-matrix pore sizes categorize the porosity into four facies: (A to D). The results of this research indicate the following: Facies A has high non-matrix porosity with 14,560 small megapores, 5419 large megapores, and 271 gigapores (71.9%, 26.76%, and 1.34% of the 20,250 pores, respectively). Facies B shows moderate non-matrix porosity with 8,669 small megapores, 2642 large megapores, and 33 gigapores (76.42%, 23.29%, and 0.29% of the 11,344 pores, respectively) and medium matrix porosity. Facies C exhibits low non-matrix porosity with 7749 small megapores, 2132 large megapores, and 20 gigapores (78.27%, 21.53%, and 0.20% of the 9901 pores, respectively) and medium matrix porosity. Facies D has low non-matrix porosity with 9355 small megapores, 2346 large megapores, and 19 gigapores (79.82%, 20.02%, and 0.16% of the 11,720 pores, respectively) and low matrix porosity. The results of this research reveal the effectiveness of a semiautomatic methodology that combines $BHI$ and conventional well logs to distinguish between matrix and non-matrix-related pore spaces, thus enabling a preliminary classification of reservoir facies based on porosity. This study advances our understanding of carbonate reservoir sustainability and heterogeneity, thus offering valuable insights for robust, sustainable reservoir characterization and management in the context of global environmental and geological changes. The novelty of this work lies in integrating data from two sources to classify porosity across the presalt reservoir interval, thus serving as a proxy for preliminary lithofacies identification without core data.

Pores and fractures are important structures for the study and characterization of fluid flow inside rocks. It is through them that there can be the propagation and conduction of fluids and chemical substances inside the reservoirs, since the connections between these spaces provide the existence of flow. To understand the behavior of these structures, we have developed a computational tool that, through the use of high resolution images derived from computed microtomography, aims to detect and characterize the geometry of pores and faults with the objective of being an environment that allows the detailed understanding of these structures. For this task, image processing techniques were applied to identify the structure of the contours, obtained through data segmentation, and to evaluate their geometric parameters in conjunction with the algorithms implemented in this work. With this, we seek to provide a tool capable of assisting in the characterization of reservoirs and fluid analysis, and to reduce the uncertainties found in manual work through a computational approach, prioritizing the preservation of important samples collected in the field.
