Reservoir Characterization of Qadirpur area based on Well Log Data, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan (T-1419) (MFN 6248)

Abstract

The Qadirpur area is situated in Sind Province Central Indus Basin Pakistan. The Qadirpur area is studied with the help of petrophysical analysis. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate hydrocarbons potential Qadirpur-15, Qadirpur-16 and Qadirpur-17 wells and to establish a well correlation of the formations encountered in the wells. This has been achieved by using complete suite of wireline log data. The reservoir lies in Sui Main Limestone (SML) which is of Eocene age. The methodology adopted to accomplish this task includes the measurement for the shale volume by using gamma ray log. Porosities of the reservoir zone by density and neutron log, resistivity of water by using resistivity log. Using Archie and Indonesian equations, the saturation of water and hydrocarbons have been calculated. For the identification of lithology, neutron and density lithological cross plot of all three wells have been generated which shows the major limestone lithology. Structural and stratigraphic correlation has been done using for the identification of lateral structural and stratigraphic changes in the area. On the basis of petrophysical results Sui Main Limestone (SML) was determined as the better potential reservoir of the area.
