Abstract: A Comprehensive study of geologic characteristics of low-resistivity viscous oil reservoir in Well Zhongjian 3 in Fengcheng area showed that low-resistivity viscous oil formation is mostly composed of sandstone with high clay content, and mudstone interbedded with sandstone with low clay content, in which sandstone with low clay content is oil bearing/production formation. Due to increase in irreducible water saturation resulting from high clay content in full earing/production formation Due to increase in irreducible water saturation resulting from high clay content in full scale viscous oil interval predominated by montmorillonite clay mineral as well as its higher salinity, low-resistivity presentation occur in well. In order that well log interpretations match weli. Saturation standards of moderate-and high-resistivity oil-bearing zones can't be only followed, the geologic charaeteristics and well log information must be analysed simultaneously.
