Utilization of Old Cased-Hole Logs for Characterization of the Naturally Previous HitFracturedTop Spraberry Formation, Midland Basin, Texas

Ashish K. Banik, David S. Schechter

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of old cased-hole gamma-ray and neutron logs in determining net pay as observed in the modern open-hole logs and core data from the Spraberry trend. We also provide a simple methodology to calibrate old cased-hole 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-hole logs can be applied successfully to old cased-hole logs from Spraberry trend wells throughout the Midland Basin.
