Pressure and depth values for Reservoir A

I.

Table I. Pressure and depth values for

Reservoir A.

Datumn Pressure is 6610 psia taken at the crest.

II. Reservoir is an oil reservoir saturated with the presence of a

gas cap.
III. Phase change is at Gas-Oil-Contact (GOC). At the GOC, the oil
and gas phases are at equilibrium thus Pg = Po = Pb = 6650.99
psia at a depth of 4287.16ft . From the Flash liberation PVT
experiment results, interpolation gave a bubble point pressure of

IV. Possible Active Drive Mechanisms :

Solution Gas Drive
Expansion Drive
Water Drive
Gas Cap Drive
Possible Predominant drive is the Water Drive
Mechanism.

Reservoir Management Plan

Possible opportunities due to predominant
drive (Water drive):

Up structure wells to be drilled in the oil leg.

Shut in of a down structured well due to water cut.
Water produced can be treated and used for pressure maintenance.
Workover can be done on shut in wells.

Production optimization opportunities /

Reservoir monitoring Program:
Pressure maintenance by water flooding and gas injection,

through injection wells

Well stimulation to reduce/remove skin effect and improve
hydrocarbon recovery.
Well inflow and outflow performance optimization to improve
potential to increase or speed recovery of reserves.
A multi-disciplined team of professionals must work together
with the goal of maximizing reserves recovery.

Wells and their locations

Initially , 5 wells were drilled : A1, A2 and B2 first then later A3 and B1
A1 and B2 were drilled as exploratory wells to find out hydrocarbon in
place but A1 can be used as a gas injection well for pressure
maintenance while B2 can be as a producing well to retrieve our
hydrocarbon.
A2 was drilled as a step out well to delineate the areal view of the
hydrocarbons. Subsequently, A2 can be used as a water injection well
for pressure maintenance.
Later, 4 additional wells can be drilled : A4,A5, B3 and B4 with B3, B4
and A4 acting as new
A producing wells and A5 as a water injection well.

Recovery Expectations
OIIP = 7758 *(N/G)* VT*Voil bulk * *(1 Swi)*1/Boi
= 7758 * 82914.74*0.55*0.28*(1-0.2)*(1/2.2) = 36 MMbbls
GIIP = 7758 *(N/G)* VT*Vgas bulk * *(1 Swi - Soi)*1/Bgi
= 7758 *0.55*5414.104*0.28*(1-0.2-0.25)*(1/2.2) = 1.617 MMscf
Assuming Oil recovery factor for a water drive and formation volume factor for all fluids are the same.
RF = 62.0%
Estimated Reserve = N *RF = 36 MMbbls * 0.62 = 19.84 MMbbls

Potential Risks :
Heterogeneity in the rock properties (which affects permeability)
Economic conditions.
Water conning (water drive mechanism)
Mitigations :
Plugging lower perforations and open upper perforations that were
initially plugged.
Use probabilistic methods to reduce uncertainties in rock properties .

Reservoir Management Plan

Recovery Enhancement possibilities
Carry out futuristic reservoir management studies when data is

available to confirm the prominent drive mechanism.

Well and production test to validate the presence or absence of
skin, to advice for workover for corrective measures.
Drill more in-fill wells to drain un-drained areas

Supportive Studies Needed :

Core analysis/ special core analysis to determine wettability,

capillary pressure to saturation to aid secondary recovery.

Well test/production test to determine skin and drainage radius
so as to advice the drilling of in-fill wells
