3. The resistivity logs above are for the same interval as the logs for questions 1 & 2. Answer the following questions related to these logs with the following additional information: For Archie's Equations, a=0.81, m=n=2. Also, Rw=0.05 ohm-m. a. Estimate the water saturation for each sandstone zone. b. Which sandstone is a better prospect for producing oil and/or gas? Explain, giving at least two reasons to support your choice. 4. The density/neutron porosity readings are nearly the same in both sandstones, so that suggests liquid hydrocarbon (oil). HOWEVER, in order to get some practice, I want you to evaluate the upper sandstone as a gas reservoir. Estimate the OGIP assuming a drainage area of 250 acres, a geothermal gradient of 1.2°F/100 ft, and a pore pressure gradient of 0.65 psi/ft.
