Challenge No. 1.1 Deta ls o% Challenge $ssume you are the com any etro hysicist. %ou are resented with wireline Log Sect ons 1! 2 and " enclosed! one section from each of three wells in the $zeri field. #etermine the boundaries of the hydrocarbon bearing zones in the ermeable intervals of each of the three log sections! using your &nowledge of the different log res onses. In each case also determine whether the zones are oil bearing or gas bearing! and resent your reasoning. .n Log Sect on 1 determine the orosity at de th $ using the individual bul& density and neutron orosity logs. #o not use cross lots at this stage. $ssume that the drill cuttings have shown that the matrix is /uartz sandstone! and assume that the fluid has a density of 1.00 g1cc. 2ow on Log Sect on 2 determine the orosity at de th 3 using the three individual orosity logs4 bul& density! sonic +delta t com ressional, and neutron orosity +again without cross lotting,. 5se the same assum tions as for de th $ on Log Sect on 1. For the sonic orosity use the em irical curves from the a ro riate chart. 6ive reasons for any differences between the orosities determined from each method. 'om are the results with those for de th $ on Log Sect on 1! and give reasons for any differences. Finally! on Log Sect on 2 rovide a ossible ex lanation! with reasons! for the log res onses at de th '.
