Juliet was discovered in 2001, the discovery well encountered a thick gas column
and thin oil rim reservoired in steep-flanked carbonate buildup structure of
Oligocene age. The top carbonate envelop (TCE) structure map of the Cepu Block
(Figure 1) shows the regional configuration of the Oligo-Miocene carbonate
platform and associated carbonate buildups, including the Juliet structure. The
buildups can exhibit several thousands of feet of relief from the regional
carbonate platform. Their growth history, structural form and rock properties are
similar.
The hydrocarbon column is predominantly gas with thin oil leg. Pressure, contact
data, and 3D seismic interpretation indicates that the Juliet Field is a common
reservoir in pressure communication. The hydrocarbon reservoir system has a
gas cap with an estimated GOC at 1995 m (6546 TVDSS). The carbonate
reservoir has an interpreted OWC at 2040 m (6692 TVDSS). The total gas column
approximately is 442 m (1450 ft).
The regional geology of the east java basin has been the subject of numerous
industry and academic studies over the last decade. The majority of the available
studies lack the level of integration necessary to resolve the complex tectonic
and sedimentology history of basin. Interpretation of the existing seismic
coverage, both 3D and 2D, has allowed correlation of recognizable seismic
patterns to depositional environments filling the data gap between the sparsely
distributed deeper wells. This qualitative classification was completed for several
time intervals of which The Rupelian, Chattian, Aquitanian, and Burdigalian
(Figure 2). This covers the period during which Cepu area carbonate buildups
grew before they were drowned and replaced by deeper water clastic deposition.
Four depositional environments for these time intervals were interpreted based
on distinguishable seismic patterns. Their characteristics are as follows :
This categorization was utilized to map out the three carbonate growth stages of
The Cepu area carbonate build-ups from Rupelian to Burdigalian and the early
deposition of clastics following buildup drowning.
Fluid Contact
The Gas Oil Contact (GOC) and The Oil Water Contact (OWC) are interpreted
through formation pressure and log analysis, confirmed by DST result.

Porosity Model
Density porosity was chosen over density/ neutron crossplot and sonic porosity
methods. The porosity results from the density porosity method shows
reasonable agreement with core porosity (Figure 4).

From a regional perspective, many carbonate fields in the area contain fractures,
which result in drilling problems such lost circulation. In general, the fractures are
mostly associated with the low porosity zones below TCE. For drilling, one
encountered significant experiences that approximately 8200 bbls of mud in total
were lost in the carbonate at two major events:
Fractures are observed in FMI images are linked to mud loss (Figure 6). Most of
the fractures are perpendicular to the buildup slope, indicating gravity driven
slope failure origin. In addition to the natural fractures, around fifty near vertical
non-planar fractures were interpreted as drilling-induced tensile fractures.

Pressure were obtained with a sample formation tester and pressures were also
measured during well test build-ups. Based on pressure vs depth relationships,
the reservoir pressure at Juliet Field GOC of 1995 m (6546 ft) is predicted to be
2948 psia. The reservoir temperature has been calculated from the temperatures
measured during logging and the carbonate productions tests. For Juliet Field, the
reservoir temperature is estimated to be 268 F at 2016.2 mTVDss.

In-Place
The Juliet Field reservoir contains an oil rim with a large gas cap. Table 5
summarizes the base case, best estimated, in-place volumes for this reservoir.
The volumes in Table 5 represent Hydrocarbon Gas which is 65% of the total
raw Gas accounting for the non-hydrocarbon components. Both DST and MDT
pressure information are available for Juliet Field, which suggest a common OWC
and GOC within the entire Juliet Field. The vertical limits for calculating the in-
place volumes associated with these wells are OWC and GOC.
Insight about this Juliet Field performance can be figured by looking at first
exploration well. Juliet 1 has been put to production from March- October 2013.
Since June 2013, the production was observed to be gradually declining, as can
be seen from (Figure 7).
