Petrophysical analysis of Dhulian well 44, Upper Indus basin, Pakistan (P-1024) (MFN 7022)

Abstract

The present study is aimed to evaluate the reservoir properties of Dhulian well 44 using well log data. Dhulian is located in the Central Potwar Zone and is broadly east-west trending, doubly plunging anticline. The well is bounded by Latitude 33°12'41" and Longitude 72°12'00”,lies in the eastern part of the Potwar basin. Petrophysical analysis is preformed to evaluate reservoir properties. Petrophysical analysis includes raw log curves, calculation of volume of shale, volume of Clean, neutron and sonic porosity, resistivity of water and finally, water and hydrocarbon saturation. Petrophysical results claim that there is one pay zone present in Lockhart Formation in Dhulian-44 ranging from 9190ft to 9290 ft. In this zone the volume of shale is 19.30%, effective porosity is 11.70%, water saturation is 47.38% and hydrocarbon saturation is 52.62%
