Abstract

Characterization of reservoirs defines how well they can generate and store hydrocarbon, reservoir parameters are used to determine the behavior of reservoir fluids under various conditions and to identify the best production practices that can optimize hydrocarbon production, the objective is to identify and map reservoir sand zones using basic logs, provide information about the reservoir depth and thickness using well log data, interpret faults and sealing system using the seismic data and generate amplitude maps and model basic reservoir facies, the method applied was sectioned into three distinct parts that encompasses qualitative well log analysis, seismic interpretation and cross plotting of basic well logs versus amplitude for reservoir characterization, the well data analyzed shows well number 5, 6 and 8 have incomplete GR logs resulting in missing lithology while well 10 have some missing logs, such as, density (DEN) log, neutron porosity (NEU) log and porosity (POR) log, five logs needed for this study were available in the remaining complete wells. These logs include gamma ray (GR) log, resistivity (RES) log, density (DEN) log, neutron porosity (NEU) log, and porosity (POR) log. This study looks at a possible change in log signal due to an increase or decrease in seismic amplitude in characterizing a reservoir sand and how logs are influence with Amplitude peaks and trough.
