Integrated Technology for Improved Reservoir Characterization in a Mature South Louisiana Salt Dome Field

A-30 INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY FOR IMPROVED RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION IN A MATURE SOUTH LOUISIANA SALT DOME FIELD GERALD MARKOWITZ¹ ROBERT D. MANN² GEORGE R. KEAR² SAMMY S. HADDAD² and DAVID O. GILLIS² ¹Texaco P.O. Box 60252 New Orleans LA 70160 USA ²Schlumberger Summary Traditionally conventional well logs such as gamma ray spontaneous potential resistivity and porosity are used to evaluate development wells in mature fields. This paper will show the positive impact of integrated applied technology; borehole seismic micro-resistivity imaging extended well testing and 3D visualization to improve reservoir characterization. Based on a mid-1990’s 3-D seismic survey over a mature salt dome
