Comparative study of resistivity models and waxman smits model in cooper basin south australia-murteree shale: Case study

Murteree organic shale are one of most rich unconventional gas reservoirs in Cooper Basin, South Australia. In shale gas reservoirs, estimation of water saturation and porosity are very erroneous when calculated from the well logs. In Roseneath and Murteree shales of Copper Basin in South Australia,...
