The use of well logs is significant to obtain accurate and improved porosity, permeability and watersaturation. This accounts for the ability of the wells to store and transmit fluid (hydrocarbon) and itsavailability potential. Three wells (OB-14, OB-15, OB-16, OB-13 and OB-52) data were available for thisresearch. The software used for data analysis and processing is Interactive Petrophysics. The researchoutcomes from the five wells show that low volume of shale as the clean sand is greater than 70%; all themean permeability values noted were highly permeable as all the values obtained were more than 1000mdexcept wells OB-13 and OB-52 whose values are in the very good class. The mean porosity results from allthe wells defined the formation as highly porous. Therefore, the reservoirs are highly porous and permeablefor the storage and migration of fluids. They strongly recommended for development and hydrocarbonexploration.
