Hydrocarbon movability studies of Sapele Deep Field, Delta State, South-South Nigeria

Abstract

Sapele Deep field is an onshore space of OML 41, situated in the north-western part of Delta State, South-south oil province, and it is among the prolific fields in the region of study. Well logs from six wells were integrated to study the hydrocarbon movability potential of the field. The hydrocarbon movability potential of the field was delineated by looking at the various hydrocarbon movability factors such as the flush in the zone, movable oil infiltration, residual oil deposited and hydrocarbon movability indicator. The study area on the average has flushed zone water saturation (Sxo) of 0.84, hydrocarbon saturation of 0.55, transferable hydrocarbon saturation is 0.39, residual hydrocarbon retention is 0.19 and movable hydrocarbon indicator is 0.51.
