The application of geophysics and petrophysics to perform a reservoir characterisation on selected wells in the Orange Basin

Abstract

Three wells located in the Orange Basin on the west coast of South Africa were modelled and characterised using petrophysical and geophysical data. This study is focussed on providing a solution to performing a reservoir characterisation using modern software and techniques in an area where data were collected three decades ago. Using the 2-D seismic data from the seismic survey, a triangulated study area was created. Utilising the acquired 2-D seismic data, re-analysing and up scaling the well logs to create a static model to display the petrophysical properties essential for reservoir characterisation.
