This study offers a comprehensive petrophysical evaluation and reservoir characterization of the Srikail Gas Field, situated on the Tripura Uplift in the east-central Bengal Basin. Utilizing well log data from four wells (Srikail-1 to Srikail-4), the analysis targets the Bhuban and Bokabil formations of the Surma Group. Standard log suites, including gamma ray, spontaneous potential, caliper, resistivity, neutron, density, and sonic logs, were interpreted using both manual techniques and digital analysis through Techlog software. Key petrophysical properties, including shale volume, effective porosity, fluid saturations, permeability, and bulk volume of water, were estimated using a combination of empirical modeling and automated interpretation workflows. Cross-plot methodologies were applied to assist in reservoir evaluation. The study integrated both qualitative and quantitative approaches to characterize each reservoir unit in detail. Results demonstrate significant heterogeneities in reservoir quality across the field. While some intervals exhibit favorable properties suitable for commercial gas production, others are characterized by high carbonate content, poor porosity, and very low permeability, indicative of tight to semi-conventional reservoirs. The most productive zones, identified as the D sands, are cleaner sands with excellent permeability (102mD to 355mD). In contrast, deeper intervals generally exhibit tighter characteristics, with DST-derived permeability values ranging from 0.6 to 0.01 mD. The study recommends integrating core analysis and 3D seismic data with well log interpretation in future work to improve reservoir delineation and support more effective development strategies in the Srikail Gas Field.
