Abstract

Petrophysical analysis is a crucial process in the oil and gas industry. It entails the analysis and interpretation of well logs, fluid samples or core smaples to understand the behaviour of the embedded reservoirs in the subsurface. Three well logs from AA field were provided for this study, but two well data were finally loaded to the workstation due to absence of key well logs (such as gamma ray and density logs) from the third well. The quality control check of the data was done prior to the uploading of data. Delineation of lithologies and identification of hydrocarbon reservoirs were done; the identified reservoirs were correlated across the two wells; and the petrophysical evaluation (such as estimations of shale volume, porosity, permeability and water/hydrocarbon saturation) of the three pay zones (that is, Sand A, B and C) in AA field were done. The porosity of Sands A, B and C varied from 0.27 to 0.28, 0.24 to 0.30 and 0.27. The permeability of Sands A, B and C varied from 1012 to 1314 md, 884 to 1013 md and 692 to 892 md. Meanwhile, the hydrocarbon saturation for Sands A, B and C varied from 1 to 89%, 45 to 80% and 79 to 80%, respectively. It can be concluded that the order of hydrocarbon prospectivity of the reservoir sands correlated across Well AA-1 and Well AA-2 is Sand C > Sand B > Sand A.
