Abstract

Petromation, J.R. Butler and Co., and Intercomp Resource Development and Engineering, Inc., describe the application and interpretation of well logs in a gas-storage project in New Mexico. Logs proved most useful in evaluating and operating the storage reservoirs when combined with other forms of information to: monitor bubble growth and detect leaks outside the storage zone; assist in verifying gas inventory; characterize a reservoir's geology; provide an additional method of history matching; and develop an operational plan for a project by determining the maximum bubble growth and the gas location for optimum deliverability.
