Résumé: | This study presents the interpretation of depositional environment and petrophysical properties of Mesozoic and Paleozoic reservoirs from the south-eastern Berkine Basin, Algeria by integrating core analyses and geophysical logs. Sedimentary structures and ichnofossils identified from 100 m of recovered cores have been interpreted to characterize the depositional settings of the studied reservoirs. During the mid-late Triassic, fluvial to marginal marine processes deposited the TAGS and TAGI reservoirs, while the Palaeozoic megasequences are characterized by shallow marine reservoirs (tidal bars and foreshore deposits) interbedded with thin marine shales. Porosity and water saturation have been estimated from geophysical logs and calibrated with core-based laboratory measurements. An empirical relationship between core porosity and permeability has been established for the El Ouar area and the same has been employed to generate a continuous and confident permeability profile against the target reservoir formations. Petrophysical characterization indicates a higher porosity and permeability in Triassic and Carboniferous sandstones than the Devonian F6 members. Triassic TAGS and TAGI sandstones possess the highest reservoir qualities in the El Ouar field. The Thorium and Potassium content available from spectral gamma-ray data have been utilized to identify the clay types associated with various sandstone reservoirs (Illite in Triassic sandstone, Kaolinite in Carboniferous units, mixed clay and Th bearing heavy mineral dominance in Devonian units). The study will be helpful for understanding of hydrocarbon resource potential and subsequent production planning in the study area. |
