Title: West Pembina Nisku reef log-core correlations

Conference · · Trans. SPWLA Annu. Logging Symp.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6169502

A study was initiated to correlate log parameters and core data from West Pembina Nisku (D-2) Pinnacle reefs. The primary objective was to derive basic input data for making volumetric estimates of reserves and for providing initial input data for doing enhanced recovery model studies. A secondary objective was to determine if a set of log analysis parameters could be derived that would work universally in the many pinnacle reefs of the West Pembina area. The results of the study indicate that porosity log response in the West Pembina Nisku reefs deviates a fair amount from the standards used in log analysis chart books. A multilinear regression formula for determining porosity was derived which worked well for 18 wells studied, on which there was both log and core data. A brief description of the Nisku reef geology, a description of the methods used in doing the study, and a graphic presentation of the results are included.
