Petrophysical Analysis of Panairi-01, lower Indus Basin, Pakistan (P-0942) (MFN 4850)

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential using well log data of Panairi-01, Sanghar North, Lower Indus basin, Pakistan. The above mentioned well is exploratory. The target horizon is Lower Goru Formation of Cretaceous age. The volume of shale throughout the Formation is high, so the region where gamma ray readings are low, one zone is marked for evaluating the hydrocarbon potential. Various petrophysical properties like porosity, resistivity, volume of shale, are calculated through different logs suites. The average value of volume of shale is found 46.91 %, effective porosity is 5.79% and saturation of hydrocarbons is 7.07%. The net pay thickness of prospect zone of Lower Goru Formation is 79 meters respectively. On the basis of calculated parameters through petrophysical analysis, it is concluded that in Panairi-01, Lower Goru Formation is showing very low hydrocarbon saturation.
