 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 ...
