Abstrakt: Petrographic and petrophysical characterizations of the pre-salt Chela formation of the Nsiamfumu and Liawenda fields in the onshore Coastal Basin of the D.R. Congo it was performed. These characterizations, as part of the static modelling of the reservoirs, involved reading log measurements, thin-slice observations of rock samples taken from this formation, calculations and interpretation of logs, CPI (Computer Processed Interpretation) and DST (Drill Stem Testing) from well tests. The following observations were obtained: • Wells Lw-1: the formation is characterized by dolomitic limestone and micaceous black shale with a thickness of 34 m having heavy oil indices and an average porosity of 17% and a salinity greater than 300 gr/L; • Well Lw-2: the formation is characterized by islands of sand, coarse sandstone and a few quartz pebbles with a thickness of 10m showing evidence of light oil, gas and an average porosity of 24%; • Shaft Lw-3: the formation is dominated by micaceous shale and dolomite interbeds with a thickness of 14m showing little evidence of hydrocarbons, only salt water and residual oils; • Puits Ns-1: the formation is characterized by beige to grey dolomite, grey shale and white sand with a thickness of 6m showing evidence of light oil and an average porosity of 20%.
