Reservoir modeling and petrophysical evaluation of kanga field onshore Niger delta.

Abstract

Reservoir sands from seven wells in Kanga Field in the Onshore Niger Delta was subjected to both petrophysical evaluation and reservoir modeling. Methodologies used are standard methods used in reservoir modeling and petrophysical evaluation. Results from reservoir modeling, shows that six synthetics and four antithetic faults have been identified and these faults are the main structural closure for hydrocarbon accumulation in Kanga Field. Petrophysical analysis showed porosity ranging from (25-27%), (16-27%) and (11-17%) for J100, K100 and L100 respectively. Modeled porosity showed high porosity in J100 and the central part of K100 reservoir. While, low porosity/; is recorded in L100. Water saturation ranges from 20 to 90% in the J100 reservoir, the lowest water saturation value was at the NE, NW and central part of the reservoir. Oil water contact reveals pockets of hydrocarbon in J100 and L100 reservoir. The bulk volume of hydrocarbon saturation closure is (21,954.37) arceft, (209,613.7) acreft and 46,025.51) acreft for J100, K100, and L100 reservoirs respectively. The estimated volumetric for P90 are (4,648,755.06) STB, (16,545,452.38) STB and (9,976,551.38) STB respectively. This study de that the field is viable for hydrocarbon exploration.
