CHARACTERIZATION OF LOW RESISTIVITY PAY ZONE COMBING ELASTIC VELOCITIES AND ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT WITH ROCK PROPERTIES ANALOGUE ON SOME SEDIMENTARY ROCKS OF GUNUNG SEMANGGOL FORMATION

This paper presents and discusses the problems of low resistivity low contrast pay zone in clastic reservoirs of ‘X’ field, Malay basin. In particular, it used Semanggol formation samples as rock properties analogue for elastic and electrical resistivity of ‘X’ field. In Malay basin, low resistivity...
