Formation Evaluation with Logs in the Ark-La-Tex Cotton Valley

R. W. Frank (1)

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses how logs can he used to evaluate the low-porosity, low-permeability, Cotton Valley sandstones and limestones of the South Arkansas, North Louisiana, and East Texas areas.

Revisions and improvements to the SARABAND (FOOTNOTE *) technique have significantly enhanced reservoir analysis from computer-processed interpretations in these tight, gas-bearing formations. The Dual Induction/Sonic log combination and the Density Compensated log/Compensated Neutron log combination provide the log data needed, while the Rwa and Ro overlay quick-looks are both available from the Dual Induction/Sonic combination.

Most Cotton Valley sandstones fall into the two general classifications of channel-like or bar-like deposits. Examples are given of how the High Resolution Dipmeter can help define these stratigraphic features.
