 TYPE OF RESERVOIR AND PRESSURE OF PHASE CHANGE.

The reservoir discovered is a

VOLATILE OIL RESERVOIR.
(This is because volatile oils typically
contain > 12.5 mole% of C7+ and this
reservoir has a C7+ mole% of 14.7).

We expect a phase change at the

bubble point pressure. From the plot
of pressure against relative volume,
the bubble point pressure is 6655psia
4
(i.e. At a relative volume of 1).
 POSSIBLE DRIVE MECHANISMS.
Possible Active Drive Mechanisms :
• Solution Gas Drive
• Expansion Drive
• Water Drive
• Gas Cap Drive

Possible Predominant drive is the EDGE WATER DRIVE MECHANISM.

(From the cross section and contour maps, we see that the reservoir is not totally sealed
off, hence the possibility of water encroachment and we observe an edge water flow
geometry. Also, the permeability range (1-100mD) supports water influx.)

 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 producing wells and A5 as a water injection well.

 RESERVOIR MANAGEMENT PLAN
Potential opportunities
• Pressure maintenance (water injection and gas injection)
• Workover (plugging, re-perforating, intelligent completion etc.)
Drive mechanism
Production using an edge water-drive system.
Recovery factor
Recovery factor = 50%
Uncertainties
• Hydrocarbon in place and reserves due to significant variation in reservoir rock
properties
• Water fingering as related to the volumetric sweep efficiency due to high permeability 8
heterogeneity as shown from the rock properties data.
Supportive studies method
• Special core analysis; relative permeability
• Well and production test
Reservoir monitoring program and production optimizing opportunities
• Regular monitoring of the oil water contact.
• Regular and accurate production and pressure data to further assess the reservoir performance.
• Infill drilling reservoir studies
Recovery expectations, risks and mitigation
• With the proposed pressure maintenance process i.e. water drive, recovery is assumed to be 50%.
• Risk could include early breakthrough due to the reservoir’s heterogeneous nature. Pressure can
not be maintained at 100%.
• Maintaining a critical production rate that minimizes water coning.
