Study on the Origin and Fluid Identification of Low-Resistance Gas Reservoirs by Zhou Yuhui, Hu Qingxiong, Liu Wentao, Wu Zhiqi, Yan Yule, Ma Jialing

“…A low-resistance gas reservoir has poor physical property, and it is difficult to distinguish the oil layer from the dry, gas, or water layers. In this paper, based on well/mud logging data and laboratory data, by taking advantages of the “excavation effect” of neutron gas and the dual-lateral resistivity difference between different depths, we successfully established a set of low-contrast log response methods for the identification and evaluation of oil layer and formation fluids. …”
