Abstract

Water saturation measurements were made on core in two Cossack field appraisal wells to investigate the discrepancy between the water saturation calculated from logs and that observed from the capillary pressure data in the Cossack-1 discovery well. The core measurements resulted in a more accurate water saturation parameter which was then used to estimate the volume of hydrocarbons in place. The core measurements also provided valuable information about the wettability of the reservoir rocks. The results of this exercise also highlighted the uncertainty attached to the water saturation determination from logs in what was an apparently simple case of a thick, clean sandstone reservoir.
