Abstract The Tarakan Basin is one hydrocarbon basin in Indonesia with approximately 40 discoveries and more than 1000 MBOE reserves. This study discusses an approach to integrate the sequence stratigraphy, rock physics and acoustic impedance (AI) inversion analysis to determine the prospective reservoirs in the basin. PRG-1 well data is used in the sequence stratigraphy and rock physic analysis. The sequence stratigraphy analysis of PRG-1 shows that there are three system tracts: transgressive, low stand tract and high stand system tracts. The integration of sequence stratigraphy, rock physics and log data analysis show that the prospective reservoir interval in PRG-1 well is located at a depth of 4730-4780 feet. It is characterized by low gamma ray, low NPHI, low density and high resistivity. The prospective interval was deposited in early Pliocene as Tarakan Formation in the low stand system tract of shelf depositional environment. The AI map shows that the distribution of the prospective is around the PRG-1 and in the eastern part of the area.

AbstractThe Paleocene-Lower Eocene N'kapa Formation has long been considered as an important groundwater and hydrocarbon resource in the eastern edge of the Douala Basin. The present study’s aim is to establish a possible link between the geological nature of this formation and the quality of potential aquifers using Gamma Ray well log, cuttings and outcrops through sedimentology and sequence stratigraphy studies. The results obtained from this study show that: lithofacies are dominated by clays, silts and sands/sandstones; gamma ray electrofacies are funnel-shaped to cylindrical-shaped with some bell-shaped; depositional environments are continental to shallow marine dominated by fluvial and sometimes tidal processes; fluvial channel-fill, tidal channel-fill and delta front bars sands are potential aquifers; sequence stratigraphy analysis reveals two transgressive–regressive cycles of second order (Danian to Selandian and Thanetian to Ypresian), two Highstand System Tracts, one Transgressive System Tract and one Lowstand System Tract; the high-resolution geometry of these sandy/sandstone sedimentary bodies shows that their distribution is linked to the hydrodynamic factors and the topography of the depositional environment. A total of two types of lithological facies of the reservoir levels were defined according to the volume of clay: clean sandstone (0–15%) and low clayey sandstone (15–30%). The gamma ray well log correlation shows that the thickness of the reservoir levels is variable and that the clay content (Vsh%) increases from the NE to the SW. As a result, the best potential aquifers appear to correspond to the fluvial channel-fill sands deposited during the base-level fall of Upper Paleocene age (Lower Thanetian).

The cross plotting of rock properties for fluid and lithology discrimination was carried out in a Niger Delta oil field using well data X-26 from a given oil field in the coastal swamp depobelt. The data used for the analysis consisted of suites of logs, including gamma ray, resistivity, sonic and density logs only. The reservoir of interest Horizon 1, was identified using the available suite of logs on the interval where we have low gamma ray, high resistivity and low acoustic impedance specifically at depths 10,424ft (3177.24m) to 10 724ft (3268m). We first obtained other rock attributes from the available logs before cross plotting. The inverse of the interval transit times of the sonic logs were used to generate the compressional velocities and the S-wave data was generated from Castagna´s relation. Employing rock physics algorithm on Hampson Russell software (HRS), rock attributes including Vp/Vs ratio, Lambda-Rho and Mu-Rho were also extracted from the well data. Cross plotting was carried out and Lambda Rho (λρ) versus MuRho (μρ) crossplots proved to be more robust for lithology identification than Vp versus Vs crossplots, while λρ Versus Poisson impedance was more robust than Vp/Vs versus Acoustic impedance for fluid discrimination, as well as identification of gas sands. The crossplots were consistent with Rock Physics Templates (RPTs). This implies the possibility of further using the technique on data points of inverted sections of various AVO attributes within the field in areas not penetrated by wells within the area covered by the seismic.

Reservoir lithology types in a prospect zone of hydrocarbon can be known through well log data analysis, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Lithology interpretation based on qualitatively well log data analysis, has been successfully carried out by K-1 and K-3 well log data on JS Field, West Natuna basin, Riau Islands.Main focus of the research is types of lithology indicated by response the petrophysical well data log of Lower-Middle Miocene Arang Formation. Arang Formation was deposited immediately on top Barat formation and depositional environment in this formation is transitional marine - marine. Petrophysics log shows well data are log gamma ray, resistivity, neutron porosity, density, and sonic. The limitation of study are on four types lithology, they are coal, sand, sally sand, and shale. Lithology on well K-1 dominate by shale, there is thin intersection between sand and coal. The well of K-1 have sand thickest around six meter. While on well K-3 Petrophysics log data shows thin intersection between coal, sand, shaly sand, and dominated by shale. The thickest Sand have thickness 29 meter, and thicker than on K-1 well. The result in this study, the formation dominated by types of lithology “shale”.

Abstract Prospective reservoirs in the Tarakan Basin are mostly deposited in the Middle Miocene to Pliocene and related to the change of depositional environment from transgressive to regressive sedimentary environment. Log sequence stratigraphic analysis in well AST 1 shows that transgressive and lowstand system tracts were deposited during the study area. Hashin-Shtrikman method is used in the rock physics analysis to identify the relative rock hardness and integrated with gamma ray log, NPHI, and resistivity data analysis. The result show that potential reservoir exist at the depth range of 7650-7725 feets and associates with low velocity, low gamma ray, low NPHI, high resistivity values. The potential reservoir interval was deposited under low stand system tract of slope depositional environment. The acoustic impedance (AI) map shows that the low AI’s are mostly located in the northwestern part of the study area.

Facies analysis and depositional environment identification of the Vin field was evaluated through the integration and comparison of results from wireline logs, core analysis, seismic data, ditch cutting samples and petrophysical parameters. Well log suites from 22 wells comprising gamma ray, resistivity, neutron, density, seismic data, and ditch cutting samples were obtained and analyzed. Prediction of depositional environment was made through the usage of wireline log shapes of facies combined with result from cores and ditch cuttings sample description. The aims of this study were to identify the facies and depositional environments of the D-3 reservoir sand in the Vin field. Two sets of correlations were made on the E-W trend to validate the reservoir top and base while the isopach map was used to establish the reservoir continuity. Facies analysis was carried out to identify the various depositional environments. The result showed that the reservoir is an elongate , four way dip closed roll over anticline associated with an E-W trending growth fault and contains two structural high separated by a saddle. The offshore bar unit is an elongate sand body with length: width ratio of >3:1 and is aligned parallel to the coast-line. Analysis of the gamma ray logs indicated that four log facies were recognized in all the wells used for the study. These include: Funnel-shaped (coarsening upward sequences), bell-shaped or fining upward sequences, the bow shape and irregular shape. Based on these categories of facies, the depositional environments were interpreted as deltaic distributaries, regressive barrier bars, reworked offshore bars and shallow marine. Analysis of the wireline logs and their core/ditch cuttings description has led to the conclusion that the reservoir sandstones of the Agbada Formation in the Vin field of the eastern Niger Delta is predominantly marine deltaic sequence, strongly influenced by clastic output from the Niger Delta. Deposition occurred in a variety of littoral and neritic environment ranging from barrier sand complex to fully marine outer shelf mudstones.

: Biostratigraphic study of Well DX has yielded Cretaceous miospores and dinoflagellates cysts which heightened the recognition of sequence boundaries (SB), Maximum Flooding Surfaces (MFS) and associated Systems Tracts. Five maximum flooding surfaces between 95.6 Ma and 89.0 Ma, four sequence boundaries between 96.4 Ma and 93.0 Ma and threedepositional sequences were identified with varying average thicknesses of sediments interpreted from the gamma ray log and biostratigraphic data. The threedepositional sequences interpreted are -depositional sequence I (96.4 Ma - 95.4 Ma) (8240 ft. - 8120 ft.), depositional sequence II (95.4 Ma - 94.0 Ma) (8120 ft. - 7850 ft.) and depositionalsequence III (94.0 Ma - 93.0 Ma) (7850 ft. - 7550 ft.). All the depositional sequences fall within the third order cycle. The age of the well was attempted based on the presence of some selected marker fossils - Ephedripites spp., Classopollis spp., Spiniferites spp., Cyclonephelium distinctum, Cyclonephelium vannophorum, Subtilisphaera spp., Eucomiidites spp., Triorites africaensis, Odontochitina costata and Droseridites senonicus recovered from the studied intervals and was dated Albian - Santonian. The Sequence stratigraphic interpretations are useful in further deepening the knowledge of thesubsurface geology of the studiedwell in Gongola Sub Basin, Upper Benue Trough of Nigeria.Keywords: Sequence Boundary, Maximum Flooding Surface, System tracts, Depositional sequence
