Aim: This study presents the log analysis results of a log suite comprising gamma ray (GR), resistivity (LLD), neutron (PHIN), density (RHOB) logs and a 3D seismic interpretation of Tymot field located in the southwestern offshore of Niger delta. This study focuses essentially on reserves estimation of hydrocarbon bearing sands. Well data were used in the identification of reservoirs and determination of petrophysical parameters and hydrocarbon presence. Three horizons that corresponded to selected well tops were mapped after well-to-seismic tie. Structural depth maps were created from the mapped horizons. The structural style is dominated by widely spaced simple rollover anticline bounded by growth faults, and this includes down-to-basin faults, antithetic faults and synthetic faults. The petrophysical values – the porosity, net-to-gross, water saturation, hydrocarbon saturation that were calculated yielding an average porosity value of 0.23, water saturation of 0.32 and an average net-to-gross value of 0.62. Three horizons H1, H2 and H3 were mapped. The three horizons marked the tops of reservoir sands and provide the structures for hydrocarbon accumulation. Hydrocarbon in-place was estimated. The total hydrocarbon proven reserves for the mapped horizons H1, H2, and H3 were estimated to be 39.04MMBO of oil and 166.13BCF for sand E.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
