Abstract

A determination of a continuous oil density log for a hydrocarbon reservoir accessible via a well drilling into the formation having the reservoir. The logging operations may be conducted in the well to generate a carbon-oxygen ratio (C/O) log, a water saturation log, and a porosity log. A continuous oil density log may be determined using the C/O log, the water saturation log, the porosity log, and carbon and oxygen density values. The continuous oil density log may be used in further characterization and development of the hydrocarbon reservoir.
