Utilization of Old Previous HitCasedNext Hit-Previous HitHoleNext Hit Logs for Characterization of the Naturally Fractured Spraberry Formation, Midland Basin, Texas

Ashish K. Banik, David S. Schechter

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of old Previous HitcasedNext Hit-Previous HitholeNext Hit gamma-ray and neutron logs in determining net pay as observed in the modern open-Previous HitholeNext Hit logs and core data from the Spraberry trend. We also provide a simple methodology to calibrate old Previous HitcasedNext Hit-Previous HitholeNext Hit neutron logs reported in neutron counts or API units or even no units into a meaningful porosity log. This investigation shows that the cut-off criteria for identification of the Spraberry pay zones previously developed from open-Previous HitholeNext Hit logs can be applied successfully to old Previous HitcasedNext Hit-Previous HitholeTop logs from Spraberry trend wells throughout the Midland Basin.
