Reservoir Flow Unit Analysis of Akos Field in Niger Delta

In this study, the flow units of reservoirs of Akos field have been computed with the Stratigraphic Modified Lorenz plot. Cumulative flow capacity and cumulative storage capacity were used for constructing the Stratigraphic Modified Lorenz Plot (SMLP). The flow capacity and storage capacity are functions of calculated permeability and porosity values considering their sampling depth. The porosity and permeability were obtained from composite well logs of eight oil wells in the study area. Two reservoirs A and B were delineated from the well logs. The stratigraphic Modified Lorenz Plots (SMLP) revealed a total of one hundred and twelve (112) Flow units (FU) in the two observed reservoirs A and B. Reservoir A has a total of 53 FU (25 speed zones, 18 baffle zones and 10 barrier zones) and reservoir B has a total of 59 FU (29 speed zones, 16 baffle zones and 14 barrier zones) which cut across all the wells. The flow units in both reservoirs fall within the speed zones, baffles and barrier unit categories. The speed zone units with equal flow and storage capacities are the dominant flow units in both reservoirs. This is an indication that the sediments have good reservoir qualities. The baffle zones have more storage capacity than the speed zones. The barrier zones within the reservoirs are acting as a seal to the flow of fluid.
