Petrophysics and Well Log Correlation of “FTP” Field Offshore Niger Delta

One challenging thing about doing formation evaluation studies in clastic formation like the Niger Delta is accurately identifying and mapping the reservoir sands and their edges. This is also true when studying the offshore Niger Delta. The database comprised borehole logs from four wells. Gamma ray logs were used to map the lithology while thye hydrocarbon bearing reservoirs were identified with a mix of gamma ray and resistivity logs. Well-logged correlation was carried out using similarity in log signatures. Schlumberger software (PETRELTTM) was used for interpretation. The computation of petrophysical parameters such as net-to-gross volume, volume of shale, porosity, permeability, and hydrocarbon saturation was done using standard equations. The general lithology in the area is an alternation of sands and shales. Three reservoirs designated as R1, R2, and R3 extend across all the wells. Reservoir R1 is located at a depth of 8244 m in well 1, 8202 m in well 2, 8167 m in well 3, and 8129 m in well 4. Reservoir R2 is located at a depth of 8843 m in Well 1, 8520 m in Well 2, 8478 m in Well 3, and 8448 m in Well 4. Likewise, reservoir R3 is located at a depth of 9508 m in well 1, 8801 m in well 2, 8758 m in well 3, and 8730 m in well 4. Reservoir R1 has an average net-to-gross sand of 0.98, a volume of shale of 0.15, porosity of 0.34, and permeability of 1010 mD. Reservoir R2 has an average net-to-gross sand of 0.92. The shale volume is 0.19, the porosity is 30%, and the permeability is 838 mD. Reservoir R3 has an average net-to-gross sand of 0.92. The shale volume is 0.01, the porosity is 0.30, and the permeability is 783 mD. The reservoir parameters were also represented statistically using a bar chart. These representations gave insight into the distribution of the reservoir parameters of interest in the study location.

 Sustainable Development: Reality Or Myth? Since the United Nations Environment Conference in Stockholm (1972), the concept of sustainable development has steadily made its way among individual scientists and international organizations. The apotheosis of this development was the adoption by the United Nations in 2015 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, many scientists and politicians were skeptical about the concept of sustainable development, since the results of implementing sustainable development in different countries were far from expected. Many decisions taken at the level of the UN and other international organizations turned out to be unfulfilled. In my opinion, as well as some other Russian scientists, the concept of sustainable development is an unrealistic project, it is a myth, although it is very positive and humane. Sustainable development goals can be achieved only by the most economically developed countries entering the era of post-industrialism. In...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...
