Abstrak

Carbonate reservoirs frequently exhibit high heterogeneity, complicating the lateral prediction of petrophysical properties from sparse well log data. This study evaluates the hydrocarbon potential of a biogenic gas-bearing carbonate reservoir in the ‘RC’ Field, Nias Basin, by integrating well log and 2D seismic data. A multi-attribute analysis was conducted to identify seismic attributes sensitive to reservoir properties, which were subsequently used as input to a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) algorithm to predict the lateral distribution of Carbonate Volume (Vcr) and Water Saturation (Sw). Results identify a prospective gas-bearing carbonate zone in Well S-1 at depths of 4990 – 5693 ft, characterized by favorable reservoir quality and water saturation values predicted by the PNN model, with an average 0.4 (v/v). The PNN model significantly improved prediction accuracy, achieving correlation coefficients of 0.88 for Carbonate Volume and 0.83 for Water Saturation. These findings demonstrate that the PNN method effectively captures non-linear relationships between seismic attributes and petrophysical parameters, providing a robust framework for mapping prospective biogenic gas zones and optimizing future exploration planning in the Nias Basin.
