Permeability information is a necessary requirement to assess the migration and accumulation of fluids in the reservoir. Three well data (A, B, C) were available for this investigation. Microsoft Excel was used for the analysis and computation of results. Spurious values were noted and removed. Porosity was first determined and their average results for Wells A, B and C are 17.26604%, 22.83019% and 13.35095% respectively. These values of porosity indicate the reservoir classes of Wells A, B and C as good, good and fair correspondingly. This information enables the determination of average permeability of wells A, B and C corresponding to 80975.24 Darcy, 105407.1 Darcy and 65580.38 Darcy. Therefore, the reservoir of wells A and B are highly porous and permeable for the storage and migration of fluids. They should be developed for hydrocarbon exploration. This is because the porosity and permeability values of these wells are reasonable as they have met the standard. However, well C is permeable but not reasonably porous as it belongs to a fair class. The velocity information would give account of the rock elastic properties in terms of strength.| Pages | 38-45 |
