Evaluation of shale volume and effective porosity using larionov and archie equations from wire-line logs, Niger delta Nigeria

In Niger Delta region of Nigeria, reservoirs are mostly loose and unstratified sands to hold fluids. In this paper, three different wells in central Niger Delta were assessed for shale volume and actual porosity. The results of the analysis delineate the presence of sand, sand-shale and shale formations. Hydrocarbon prospecting was found to be strong in sand, moderate in sand-shale and shallow in shale respectively. However, existent of shale lessens effective porosity and water saturation of the rock formations. The extent of the formation extends from 1300 to 2500 m. Shale volume and actual …
