1 You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. O'Brien, Part III, Chapter V George Orwell, 1984 Room 101

10 Identifying Permeable Zones & Fluids Resistivity Invasion Profile

11 Water Based Mud Invasion Railway Lines = Water Pers comm Yves Orlandi Warri Nigeria 1981

12 Water Based Mud Invasion Finding Missed Oil in Old Wells Note the Resistivity scale is now 0.2 to 20 ohmm (Invasion invisible at 0.2 to 2000 ohmm) Oil Oil Oil Oil Oil No Porosity Logs Recorded GR generally featurless Low GR & Higher resistivity Tight limestones capping Sst reservoirs Environmental corrections important For Micro and Laterolog devices when looking in detail

13 Identifying Permeable Zones Mud Cake & Caliper

14 Water Saturation Total PHIT & BVWT PHIT / SWT Example

15 Caliper & Gamma Ray Water Saturation Total PHIT & BVWT Sometimes there is a clear build up of Mud Cake which is easily identified from the Caliper Caliper = Bit Size Therefore No Mudcake Mud Cake in Invaded Zones

16 Caliper & Gamma Ray Water Saturation Total PHIT & BVWT Sometimes there is a clear build up of Mud Cake which is easily identified from the Caliper Default Caliper scale is 10 across the track. Try with a scale of 1 across the track Try some area coding to highlight washouts and Mudcake Caliper = Bit Size Therefore No Mudcake Mud Cake in Invaded Zones

17 Caliper & Gamma Ray Water Saturation Total PHIT & BVWT CUT-OFF Results Kill PHIT & SWT IF no mud cake
