Reserve estimation using wireline logs involves the following steps:
Collect Wireline Log Data: Use logs like gamma ray, resistivity, neutron, and density to characterize the formation.
Identify Hydrocarbon Zones: Use gamma ray and resistivity logs to distinguish hydrocarbon-bearing from water-bearing zones.
Calculate Porosity: Estimate the amount of pore space using neutron and density logs.
Determine Water Saturation (Sw): Use the Archie equation or similar models to find the fraction of pore volume filled with water.
Calculate Net Pay Thickness: Identify zones with sufficient porosity and hydrocarbon saturation.
Estimate Hydrocarbon Pore Volume (HCPV): Calculate the volume of hydrocarbons in place.
Convert HCPV to Reserves (STOIIP): Convert hydrocarbon pore volume to stock tank barrels.
Apply Recovery Factor: Determine the percentage of STOIIP that can be recovered.
