THEORY  &   FORMULAE

Conventional Well Log Analysis II

(*** Note that Analysis II requires Dual laterolog with a Microfocused log, whereas Analysis I requires Dual induction laterolog.)

Performs performs conventional well log analysis on up to 10 sub-intervals .

The required Logs are:
  -  Dual Laterolog (deep & shallow) with a Microfocused log
  -  Porosity Logs (density, neutron & sonic)
  -  Gamma Ray & SP

The program provides water saturation estimates based on the following calculation methods:
   -  Archie,
   -  Ratio,
   -  2-porosity,
   -  3-porosity and
   -  Shaley-sand.

It also computes porosities, hydrocarbon index and movable oil index. In addition, it provides average values of porosity, water saturation, and net pay thickness for the interval based on user selected cut-off parameters.

User can select from 4 Lithology types:
   -  average sand,
  -  shaley sand,
  -  calcareous sand and
  - carbonates.

The underlying formulae are:

        

where

  F = Formation factor,

  φ = Porosity, fraction

  SWA = Water saturation by Archie method, fraction

  SWR = Water saturation by Ratio method, fraction

  φs = Sonic porosity, fraction

  φe = Effective porosity, fraction

  φ Z = Total porosity of the sand matrix, including pore fluids and clay

  q = Shale/slit fraction in the rock

  Cp = Compaction factor

  Sgxo = Residual hydrocarbon saturation in the zone close to the borehole

  φN = Neutron porosity, fraction

  φD = Density porosity, fraction

  SWTH = Water saturation by the 3-porosity method, fraction

  SWTW = Water saturation by the 2-porosity method, fraction

  VSH = Shale fraction

  φ NC = Corrected neutron porosity, fraction

  φ DC = Corrected density porosity, fraction

  φ ND = Average neutron-density porosity, fraction

  SWSH = Water saturation by the Shaley sand method, fraction

  RSH = Resistivity of shale

  RW = Resistivity of formation water

  RT = Formation resistivity

  φ clay = Porosity of shale, fraction
