Cross plotting of Rock Properties for Fluid and Lithology Discrimination using Well Data in a Niger Delta Oil Field
BELLO, RASAQ; IGWENAGU, C. LINDA & ONIFADE, Y.S.
Abstract
The cross plotting of rock properties for fluid and lithology discrimination was
carried out in a Niger Delta oil field using well data from a given oil field. The data used for the
analysis consist of suites of six wells. The reservoir was evaluated using gamma ray logs,
volume of shale, resistivity and neutron porosity for well-02 and well-06. Sand lithology
showed low gamma ray, high resistivity and low acoustic impedance. Cross plotting was carried
out and the plots with most outstanding results were Vp/Vs versus AI, λρ Versus Vp/Vs, μρ
against Density and λρ versus μρ. For the two wells considered, two reservoirs were observed,
one reservoir was observed in well - 02 at a depth of 4600 ft to 5050 ft .and a reservoir was also
observed for well - 06 at a depth of 10240 ft to 10600 ft. Crossplotting of rock properties
discriminated the wells into lithologies of sand and shale which is typical of Niger Delta. The
crossplot also discriminated the fluids into gas, brine and oil. This study has been able to
discriminate hydrocarbon reservoirs using well logs in the field of study.
