Estimating formation water salinity from wireline pressure data: case study from the Vulcan Sub-basin

Estimating formation water salinity from wireline pressure data: case study from the Vulcan Sub-basin

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: J.R. Underschultz, G.K. Ellis, A. Hennig, E. Bekele & C. Otto
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2002

 

Abstract:

Characterising the concentration of total dissolved solids (TDS) in formation water is important for wireline log analysis, reserves calculations, and understanding the hydrodynamic processes occurring in the subsurface. Unfortunately, measured TDS v...

The Maitland Gas Discovery – A Geological/Geophysical Case History

The Maitland Gas Discovery – A Geological/Geophysical Case History

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: K.H. Sit, P.M. Hillock and N.W.D. Miller
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: July 1994

 

Abstract:

The Maitland gas field lies 29 km northwest of Barrow Island in WA-149-P in the offshore Barrow Sub-basin. Maitland was first recognised on 1985 2-D seismic data as a near Base Tertiary amplitude anomaly. Subsequent interpretation of 1989 and 1991 2-...

Wandoo Oil Field: A Formation Evaluation Case History

Wandoo Oil Field: A Formation Evaluation Case History

Publication Name: The Sedimentary Basins of WA
Authors: E. Delfos
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: July 1994

 

Abstract:

The Wandoo oil discovery in high porosity, unconsolidated, glauconitic sandstones challenged all forms of formation evaluation. The effects of glauconite on wireline logs, both electric and nuclear are difficult to determine because of its complex el...

Case studies of stratigraphic and fault traps in the Cooper Basin, Australia

Publication Name: The Cooper & Eromanga Basins Australia
Authors: P.J. Stanmore
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: June 1989

 

Abstract:

Exploration for hydrocarbons in the Permo-Triassic Cooper Basin has led to the discovery of oil and gas in both structural and structural/stratigraphic traps. However, as the hydrocarbon potential of the Basin has largely been addressed by drilling t...
