Petrophysical Analysis of Bagla-01 Well, Southern Indus Basin, Pakistan (P-0936) (MFN 4859)

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the petrophysical properties of Bagla-01, Lower Indus Basin, Pakistan. This is located in Thatta district, Sindh about 1395 km south of Islamabad having coordinates 24° 34’ 55.94” N and latitude 68° 25’ 11.71” E. The well under study lies in Thar platform which is bounded in north east by Jacobabad and Mari Kandhok highs, in south by Arabian Sea, in west by Karachi trough and in northwest by Kirthar depression. Petrophysical evaluation of Bagla-01 was carried out to highlight the reservoir area which included the selection of zone of interest followed by log interpretation. The volume of shale, porosity, water saturation and hydrocarbon saturation were interpreted by using different tools like gamma ray tool, porosity tool, density tool, resistivity tool. On the basis of petrophysical evaluation Lower Goru Formation is acting as a reservoir, which has volume of shale, effective porosity and saturation of hydrocarbon as 42.42%, 0.007% and 34.09% respectively.
