Reservior Modeling and rock Physics Analysis of “ade’’ field offshore Niger Delta

Rock physics has been used to create a link between geophysical observable parameters and geological parameters and this makes it to be a part of reservoir characterization. Even though various rock physics models have their own benefits and limitations in reservoir formation. Set of data used were check shot, well logs and 3D seismic volume. The study aimed at modeling and analysing reservoir properties with rock physics properties to build a structural models and to understand potential hydrocarbon within study area. Twelve (12) reservoir sand units were identified and analyzed for petrophysical parameters and rock properties from well log data for four (4) wells. Rock physics templates (RPTs) was used by plotting acoustic impedance (AI) versus Vp/Vs ratio) to discriminate fluid and lithology for reservoir zones.Prospectivity of thereservoir units was inferred and confirmed from elastic and estimated rock physic parameters such as velocity_ratio, shear impeadance and Acoustic impedance. These were crossploted and the following respective reservoir properties (porosity, water saturation and shale volume) were used as colour indicators. The quality and distribution fluid type within sands and shale was observed from 3D structural models.These further explain the lateral extent of the known reservoirs unit.
