Reservoir units of Mishrif formation in Majnoon oil field, southern Iraq

Abstract EN

The reservoir units of Mishrif Formation in Majnoon oil field were studied by using available wireline logs (gamma ray, porosity and resistivity) and facies that derived from core and cutting samples for three wells including Mj-1, Mj-15, and Mj-20.

The reservoir properties were determined and interpreted by using IP software.

The results showed that unit D have the best reservoir properties due to high effective porosity, low water saturation and very low volume of shale.

Furthermore, a large part of this unit was deposited in shoal environment.

The other reservoir units are then graded in reservoir properties including units B, A, F & E respectively, except unit C, which is considered as a cap unit, because it consists of restricted marine facies so that; it has high volume of shale and water saturation and very low effective porosity.
