Thank you and best regards, FESI Petrophysics of Problematic Reservoirs Paul F Worthington Gaffney, Cline & Associates A problematic reservoir is defined as one whose character does not satisfy standard textbook assumptions. In these cases, the key to successful petrophysical evaluation is to recognise the causes of departures from textbook assumptions and to respond with appropriate data acquisition and log-analysis practices. This presentation examines some of the most common types of problematic reservoir from a petrophysical perspective and identifies a technical response for each. Examples include reservoirs that: are laminated; have low intergranular permeability; contain fresh formation waters; are silty; have a multi-modal pore system; and/or are shaly. Following the successful log evaluation of porosity and hydrocarbon saturation, the greatest source of petrophysical uncertainty in hydrocarbon volumetrics remains the quantification of net reservoir and net pay. Avenues are identified for improving this process based on data-driven indicators and taking due account of reservoir depletion mechanism. Paul F. Worthington is a Principal Adviser with Gaffney, Cline & Associates, where his key interests are integrated reservoir studies for equity redetermination, reserve estimation and reservoir management. Previously he spent 13 years with BP, mostly as Head of Formation Evaluation at the BP Research Centre in Sunbury-on-Thames, England. His degrees include a Ph.D. and a higher doctorate (D.Eng.), both from the University of Birmingham, U.K., and he has published over 80 technical papers in the field of engineering geoscience. From 1986-1992 he served as Chairman of the Downhole Measurements Panel of the international Ocean Drilling Program. He currently holds a visiting professorship in Petroleum Geoscience and Engineering at Imperial College, University of London. Paul has served as President, VP Technology, VP Publications and Distinguished Lecturer of SPWLA, and he has co-chaired three SPWLA Topical Conferences. He is a former Editor of Petrophysics and is currently a Co-editor of Petroleum Geoscience. Paul is a Chartered Geologist and Chartered Engineer in the United Kingdom and a Fellow of the U.K.'s Energy Institute.
