Integrated geological and reservoir properties to study the petroleum system, structural and facies modeling of Kadanwari Area, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan (T-1413) (MFN 6238)

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to know about the geological setting and perform the petrophysical analysis to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of wells Kadanwari-1, 4 and 10. The project was initiated by taking into account the exploration history of the area followed by comprehension of stratigraphy and tectonic settings. Established the petroleum system, evaluated the depositional environment, structural and stratigraphic correlation and performed the petrophysical analysis. The purpose has been achieved by utilizing complete suite of wireline logs and the available well data. This complete set of data was issued by Land Mark Resources, Pakistan with prior permission of Directorate General of Petroleum Concessions, Pakistan. Software used include GeoGraphix Discovery (PRISM). Petrophysical interpretation of Kadanwari-1, 4 and 10 include measurement of Volume of shale using gamma ray log, estimation of porosity using density and neutron log, estimation of effective porosity, calculation of resistivity of water utilizing spontaneous potential log, evaluation of saturation of water and hydrocarbon saturation using Archie equation. The depositional environments were determined by observing the gamma ray trends of the reservoir zones of Kadanwari-1, 4 and 10.
