Section 2 — Well Logging Computations
This section is worth 40 marks.
All working is to be shown below each question
Question 11 (6 marks)
In a water bearing sand the resistivity reads 0.48 ohm-m. In a
shallower oil bearing sand of the same porosity the resistivity
reads 16 ohm-m. Estimate the water saturation of the oil sand, and
state all assumptions made.
Question 12 (12 marks)
In a clean hydrocarbon sandstone, the neutron and density logs read
12 and 36 sandstone porosity units respectively. The shallowest
resistivity reading across the formation is 8 ohm-m and the resistivity
of the mud filtrate at the formation temperature is 0.06 ohm-m.
Determine:
(a)The in-situ hydrocarbon density.
(b) The effective porosity of the formation.
Assume a = 0.81, m and n = 2 in Archie's equation.

Question 13 (6 marks)
Awell-test on an exploratory well with a borehole diameter of 8
inches indicates that 50 litres of mud filtrate invaded a 10 feet thick
oil-bearing formation. If the radius of invasion is 18 inches and the
water saturation in the flushed zone is 72 %, calculate the porosity
of the formation.

Question14 (10 marks)
The following values for sandbodies A and B were recorded at
specific depths in a well drilled with fresh mud:
A: Pe (bie)= 2.8; Pp (grvoc)= 2.40
B: Pe (oie) = 1.8; pb (orice) = 2.25
Determine the lithology and calculate the porosity for each of the
sandbodies A and B.
Question 15 (6 marks)
An interval transit time of 110 usec/ft was measured in a sandstone
reservoir, in which the acoustic velocity of the matrix was 18000
ft/sec. Assuming a fluid transit time of 210 usec/ft , calculate the
porosity in the reservoir.

Charts CP-9 and CP-10 have not been updated for CNL logs
nun after 1986 or labeled TNPH: approximations may therefore
be greater with more recent logs. For approximate results with
APLC porosity (from IPL* logs), use Charts CP-9 and CP-10 for
SNP logs.
