Thinly bedded reservoir sand sequences are encountered throughout the world, and particularly as low-resistivity intervals in the U.S. Gulf Coast area. Despite apparent water saturation values ranging from 55 to 85% based on conventional Previous HitlogNext Hit interpretation techniques, such intervals can be important producers.

However, recent technological advances in novel, high-resolution logging instrumentation, increased high-sample data acquisition, advances in high-resolution signal-processing (i.e., deconvolution) techniques, and newly developed thin-bed interpretation methods allow an improved reservoir description, such as reliable net pay count, enhanced Previous HitwellNext Hit-to-Previous HitwellNext Hit correlation, better thin-bed correlation of Previous HitwellNext Hit Previous HitlogNext Hit, core, and test data, and thus a more accurate location of oil-and gas-bearing stringers and their quantitative evaluation.

Several Gulf Coast field examples illustrate these concepts based on Previous HitwellNext Hit logging, coring, and Previous HitwellTop test information.
