Petrophysical Analysis of Sara West-01, Southern Indus Basin, Pakistan (P-0932) (MFN 5527)

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential using well log data of Sara West-01, Ghotki, Southern Indus basin, Pakistan. The above mentioned well is exploratory. Porosity and resistivity logs do not show any direct identification for the presence of hydrocarbons. Two main limestone reservoir of the area have been selected for the evaluation of their respective petrophysical parameters. The target formations are Habib Rahi Formation and Sui Main Limestone of Cretaceous age. Various petrophysical properties like porosity, resistivity, volume of shale and fluid saturation have been calculated through different logs. Although the formations have clean lithologies with very little shaly content and good effective porosity but the fluid saturation plots depicts Sara West-01 as water wet well.
