Petrophysical analysis of Ratana well 03, Ratana, upper Indus basin, Pakistan (P-0918) (MFN 3987)

Abstract

Petroleum is vital to almost all industries, and is of importance to the maintenance of industrialized civilization itself, and thus is a critical concern for many nations. Due to its importance this field has developed special interests of the scientists and various hydrocarbon agencies and a number of new geological and geophysical techniques have been developed to explore and exploit the hydrocarbon buried in subsurface geological formations. Petrophysics and well logging is one of thestrong tools which are used to evaluate the formation characteristic features having potential for hydrocarbon development. A successful petrophysical analysis of Ratana well#3 is carried out interpreting the given logs. Different parameters calculated are shale volume, saturation of water and hydrocarbon and porosity was determined using different logs. These were plotted onto MS-Excel understand sub surface characteristics and presence of fluids.
