| Irreducible fluid indexes (MBVIC) |
This is an acronym for a well log used in the oil and gas industry. The acronym MBVIC can be found in any (ASCII) log files provided by the logging company. The acronym stands for 'Irreducible fluid indexes'. The business value of this log is often deamed high. Use this log to investigate the fraction of the pore volume occupied by water in a reservoir at maximum hydrocarbon saturation, such that it cannot be further reduced. Simply said, this is a log that describes the fraction or percentage of the pore volume occupied by a specific fluid; e.g., oil, gas, water.This log usually has the unit 'Porosity'. This is the pore volume per unit gross volume. Porosity is determined from measurements on cores or interpreted from logs. Data from this log can be used to investigate the saturation of the formation. Similar logs are listed below:
