Evaluation of Reservoir Parameters for Burgan Formation in One of the Iranian Southwest Oil Field

Investigation and detail recognition of hydrocarbon reservoirs can have a good help in management of production wells, and field development. Burgan formation is deltaic sandstone from lower-median Cretaceous that is divided into three zones, A, B, and C. This formation in its type section (Kuwait) makes the second biggest world reservoir, with up to 72 billion barrels of in situ oil. In this study, evaluation of reservoir parameters has been made for this formation. Volume of shale, porosity, permeability, saturation, determination of oil water contact (OWC), net/gross and hydrocarbon column thickness, are the main reservoir parameters, that have been calculated with deterministic and problistic method using different logs and core data of 36 wells. All of these parameters in problistic method have been calculated by professional petrophysic software, Geolog. Results of calculations show that despite of B zone lower thickness; this zone has a very high reservoir quality than the other two zones. This high quality arises from clean sand and high porosity (intergranualr) and permeability of this zone. Higher thickness of Burgan formation and its reservoir zones in the west of study field, and reservoir high quality in these horizons, show that the original source of clastic sediments is form the Arabian Shield toward Iran.
