Course: Petroleum Formation evaluation (PE 308) Problem 1:

The following figure (A) shows a cross plot of and density in a sandstone reservoir containing a water zone, a hydrocarbon zone and a gas zone. The points associated with gas zone have been identified. Construct on figure an interpretation chart similar to figure provided (Fig.B). (i) What is the estimated value of ma? (ii) What do you estimate w to be?

(A)

(B)

Problem 2: In a well (Problem above), the water resistivity is known to be 0.18 ohm-m in a
zone at 1150F. Assuming that the water contains NaCl only, what value of w does this imply? (i) What is the value of Sw in the water zone, using this new input? (ii) The induction log clearly sees this zone as 100% water: However, the drilling fluid is oil-based mud. What does this say about the relative depth of investigation of the measurement?

Problem 3: From the data of the following table, estimate the capture cross section of water
in capture units.

(i)

Estimate the capture cross section in capture units, of salt water with 100 kppm NaCl dissolved. How well does it agree with the following figure

Problem 4:Using the data from the logs in the given figure and assuming that the injection
water was fresh, compute the salinity of the connate water at the depth X150.

Problem 5:The following figure is a log of a tight (low porosity) carbonate section. Using
the neutron-density cross plot, identify zones of the different matrix types present in this section of the well

Problem 6:
Consider the following set of data taken sections of a clean sandstone reservoir. Although the sandstone is free of clay, it does contain some pyrite. The question to answer is: how close does the manual cross-plot technique get you to the true porosity.

The table format provided here will help to complete the task. Note the column of matrix density values, which have been determined from core analysis. Make a plot of porosity obtained from the density tool alone under two different conditions: using the core-measured grain density, and using the cross plot grain density (ma)n-d. For both calculations, assume that the formation fluid has a density of 1.20 g/cm3

Problem 7:
To verify the identification of the sets of matrix lines in the Pe plot of the following figure, compute the b and Pe values for 50% porosity limestone, dolomite and sandstone. Consider two cases of pore fluid, water and CH2. The appropriate values for computations are from the table provided below:

Bertozzi, Ellis and Wahl)

Problem 8:
From the log of the following figure calculate the apparent matrix values maa and Umaa and hence the percentage of quartz, calcite and dolomite (assuming no clay).

Problem 9:
With reference to the following three figures, which tool combination would you prefer to use for lithology determination in a carbonate reservoir containing limestone and dolomite? Specifically, what are the maximum errors tolerable in a 5% porous limestone so that it is not misidentified as a dolomite? For each pair of cross plots, you can evaluate the maximum tolerable error by either of the measurements or assume a simultaneous error of the two.
