Abstract

The use of log correlation in development wells has often been carried out to obtain promising productive zones. In the use of infill wells in addition to considering the empty oil area that can be drained, the consideration of the well position should be in the up depth position on the log correlation is often used. The main reason for getting an oil zone at the top of the structure that has not water cut problems and will certainly get the optimum production rate. This method is quite practical, namely only using the correlation of Gamma ray log, Resistivity, Density log and Neutron log from the surrounding wells, which can obtain a good productive zone and prevent circulation loss.
