Summary:Embodiments of the present disclosure aim to provide advanced log scale permeability estimation systems and methods. In an embodiment, a computer system is provided and configured to perform petrographic thin section image permeability analysis and then generate log scale permeability estimations for a well using machine learning methods and techniques. In an embodiment, the advanced log scale permeability estimation systems and methods are configured with a computer system or a micro-computer system, that can be configured with a computer circuit board comprising a processor, memory, networking capability, and software. In another embodiment the log scale permeability estimations for a well are input into a reservoir simulation model to determine hydrocarbon resources and to make portfolio predictions for a well.
