f Porosity prediction for a Zechstein-2 carbonate prospect, onshore Netherlands

The studied Collendoornerveen prospect lies in NE Netherlands. The primary exploration targets are carbonates of Permian (Zechstein) age developed on a platform along the southern margin of the NW European Permian evaporitic basin. Wells drilled on this platform were evaluated as gas-hearing with variable average porosities (4-15%) for the carbonate reservoir. The main objective of this study was to map the porosity distribution over the prospect and adjacent platform areas in order to identify a location for an exploration well and to enable accurate reserves calculations.
