Reservoir CharacterizationCapstone Project Semester 1
PNG 490 – Team 26April 29th 2014
Goals and Objectives
• Discretize and map the given formations
• Analyze log data
• Calculate expected recoverable oil in place
• Recommend further action with the field
Findings
• Based upon the data:
• 100 - 270 Million Barrels
• 100 Dollar per Barrel comes out 10 – 27 Billion Dollars
• Further develop the selected area
Procedure
Using generated data & 3 D models to determine sweet spots
Interpolated values to entire reservoir
Establish max, min & avg: water saturation & porosity
Analyzed log data on 29 wells
Digitalized formation topography
Field discretization
Client received request for field analysis
Geological Structure
• Penta Alpha was formed in the early cretaceous period
• Predict the ability to produce oil• Types of lithology• Limestone , sandstone, and minimal shale deposits
• Types of obstacles • Drilling Break, and kick
• Pay zone rocks• Sandstone
Discretization Process
• Analyzing contour map
• Drawing grids
• Construct surface map
• Surface Map of Penta Alpha Formation
3-D Surface MapSurface Map of Penta Alpha Formation
Evaluating Well logs
• Establish cut-offs• Water saturation < .7 or 70%• Gamma ray < 40 API • Resistivity > 10 ohm-meters
• Determine Net Pay
Well log data gathering
• From porosity, water saturation and net pay thickness
• Determine maximum, minimum and average values
• Three distribution maps of porosity, water saturation and net pay thickness
Average Water Saturation Interpolation
Average Porosity Interpolation • Average Porosity Interpolation
Net Pay Interpolation• Net Pay Thickness Interpolation
Monte Carlo Stimulation
• Calculate Values within set ranges for: • Recovery Factor of 0.2 to 0.4 • Formation Volume Factor of 1.05 – 1.08
• Calculated OOIP ranged • 375 – 675 million barrels
• Calculated recoverable oil • 100 – 270 million barrels
Moderate Estimate (50% confidence)
Conservative Estimate (90% confidence)
Area of Interest
• Determine the areas with higher barrels per acres from recoverable oil in place
• P50 stimulation • area of 3643 acres and produce around 34 million barrels.
• P90 stimulation• area of 3643 acres and produces around 18.5 million barrels
Area of Interest 50 Percentile
Area of Interest 90 Percentile
Cumulative Oil in Place
Cumulative Recoverable Oil
Conclusion• Valued at approximately 10 – 27 billion US Dollars
• A well drilled every 640 acres should be suitable in this situation
• Potential revenue should be attributed to a water saturation cut off of 70%
• Recommend entering phase two of drilling and preparing wells for production
