The use of material balanced equation to determine the oil water contact of an oil reservoir

Abstract

The oil water contact of an oil reservoir can be determined using some geophysical well logs. However, some of the methods might not be accurate. Therefore the material balanced equation which is an accurate means of formation evaluation is critically analysed in this study and then used to determine the oil water contact of oil reservoirs A and B in the Niger Delta Basin of Nigeria.
