Abstract

Although Habiganj Gas Field is one of the best gas field with good reservoir characteristics but it is least analyzed. This paper presents the critical view on four wells (HBJ -7, HBJ-8, HBJ-9, and HBJ-10) of upper gas sand using wire line log data for further development. It is found from the analyses data that a thick zone (~40 m, depth between 1410 to 1450 m) of Bokabil Formation in well no. 8 HBJ-8 shows greater porosity (>43%) and permeability (5-16 D) which may be the indicators of a big fracture zone within the reservoir that yet to be noticed. The similar phenomenon also observed in HBJ-9 with laser thickness. The consistency in porosity and permeability of different wells shows that the reservoir of Habiganj Gas Field is well-sorted. However the stratigraphical model shows that the structure of Habiganj Gas field is almost symmetrical and trending SSE, which supports the structure of Surma Basin. The multi-log 3-D model shows both lithology and stratigraphy, which also resemblance with the lithology and stratigraphy of the Surma Basin.
