Well Productivity Prediction for Laminated Reservoirs Using Borehole Electrical Image Logs

Due to increasing costs in hydrocarbon exploration, formation evaluation needs to be efficient in order to avoid excessive<br>expenditures. Proper reservoir characterization in thinly laminated reservoirs is a key to successful field development. These<br>thinly laminated reservoirs are complex due to their vertical heterogeneity. As a result, there is low resistivity contrast between<br>water and hydrocarbon bearing zones when standard resistivity logs are used. Thus, it is crucial to deploy a high resolution<br>formation evaluation in order to capture reservoir pay and detect hydrocarbon zones.
