Reservoir characterization of an x-field, offshore Niger Delta, Nigeria, using well data

Petrophysical parameters of an oil field in the Niger Delta, Nigeria, were analyzed and characterized using well log data. The well log data were used to determine the hydrocarbon depth (2757 to 3591 m) and lithology of the field. Shale volume (Vsh) was calculated using linear and Larinov equations while the Archile equation was used to determine the water saturation. The study revealed water saturation of 0.035 to...
