The purpose of this study is to present an evaluation of the Tertiary carbonate sequence in the Pará-Maranhão basin, based on the interpretation of well logs. Two wells, X and Y, were selected to be studied. The data processing was carried out using the LOGCALC software facilities installed on the Petrobrás IBM-3090 computer, and also the DLPS routines of the VAX-8600 at the Universidade Federal do Pará. Three distinct carbonate rock types were identified. The discrimination of these lithotypes allows a close control of the matrix parameters, and better volumetric estimates (porosities and saturations). The evaluation of porosities and saturations is difficult in this area because of the characteristics of the carbonate rocks: the lithology is complex, the water salinity is low, about 10,000 ppm equivalent NaCl, the matrix density is high, and the carbonates are fractured. The fractures strongly influence the logging tool responses, including the fracture identification log, the porosity logs, the resistivity logs, and the spectral gamma logs of 1-PAS-11 well. These fractures also cause the porosity exponent, m, to be low, less than 1.5, a value generally related to fractured rocks. Models developed by Rasmus (1983) and by Porter et al.(1969) were tested for the saturation estimates. The Archie relationship, with characteristic values for a and m, was also applied in this study. In the fractured zones, the variable porosity exponent gives better results than other models, for calculating water saturations. Thus, we can locate and evaluate the fracture zones by using the Archie relationship with the variable porosity exponent, mR, from the Rasmus model, referred to in this study as Rasmus saturation.
