Petrographical factor and Petrophysical parameter: An approach to reservoir evaluation of the Sarvak formation in NW, of the Persian Gulf

Sarvak formation is a major oil reservoir in the Persian Gulf. Various nomenclature of the Sarvak formation were applied by different operative oil companies In the northern part of the Persian Gulf. The aim at this study is to harmonize stratigraphical nomenclature in this district , as well as to study the reservoir qualities and to asses hydrocarbon accumulations in this area. By using different petrophysical data and integration with geological factor, resulted in revealing three stratigraphy members ( Mishrif, Ahmadi and Mauddud), as well as reservoir qualities variations , in this district. By applying, available petrophsical data, and integration with geological information, various 3D geological maps, ( porosity, water & oil saturation maps etc…) were made. Preliminary assessment of the reservoir potential of the Bahregansar & Hendijan Fields shows , Sarvak formation in these two fields, have a good reservoir qualities, but other part of this district has poor reservoir qualities. This study shows , having high portions of clay mineral in the Sarvak reservoir along with lack of suitable cap rock and poor reservoir qualities , diminished reservoir potentials in this district.
