Instructions:
You are tasked with correlating well logs and core data from a newly drilled well in a shale gas reservoir. The well log shows a prominent shale layer between 2500m and 2550m depth. The core, taken from 2525m to 2535m depth, exhibits a high porosity (20%) and permeability (5 mD).
Task:
Identifying the corresponding layer: The high porosity and permeability zone in the core should correlate with a similar signature on the well log within the 2525m to 2535m interval. Look for a spike in porosity readings or a change in resistivity indicating the presence of the high-permeability zone. Potential discrepancy: The core is only 10 meters long, while the shale layer extends for 50 meters. There could be significant variations in porosity and permeability within the shale layer, making the core not representative of the entire interval. Proposed solution: 1. Detailed log analysis: Examine the well log data more closely, looking for trends in porosity and permeability throughout the entire shale layer. 2. Cross-plotting: Create cross-plots of log readings and core data to assess the correlation between specific log parameters and measured core properties. 3. Geostatistical analysis: Use statistical methods to interpolate and predict porosity and permeability values across the entire shale layer based on the limited core data. 4. Additional core analysis: If the discrepancy is significant, consider taking more core samples from different depths within the shale layer to get a better understanding of the formation's heterogeneity.
