Rock Physics Analysis of Low Resistivity Low Contrast in Bioturbated Sand, Case Study; Sepat Field

Low resistivity and low contrast zone have been identified in clastic rock bodies and one of the reasons for this behavior is due to bioturbated sand. The resistivity of this zone is similar to the resistivity of formation water bearing zone. To understand this unique behavior, study is focused on i...
