  RESERVOIR ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
Fractured Reservoirs
PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
Confidential Simulation study to determine the development potential for a fractured chalk gas reservoir with a tilted gas/water contact.
Confidential Simulation study to determine feasibility of combined EOR/gas storage project in a low-permeability, naturally-fractured Muddy Sandstone reservoir.
Confidential Simulation study of a low-permeability sandstone HPHT gas reservoir to understand relative contributions from matrix and fractures. Study included detailed gridding to simulate transient responses observed on well tests.
Panuke, Nova Scotia Well test program for naturally fractured carbonate reservoir to supplement logs which did not recognise fractures
Kyle, North Sea Assessment of matrix contribution to depletion of this fractured chalk reservoir with active aquifer and gas cap. Evaluated merits of horizontal drilling.
Vietnam Training seminar on reservoir monitoring.
Risha, Jordan Material balance and well test.
Klua, B.C., Canada Reservoir evaluation to understand water influx in complex reef front reservoir Integrated p/z behaviour with observed gas water contact movement over time.
Colombia Probabilistic reserve distribution for a potentially large Class III fractured carbonate (all storage in fractures).
Ninotsminda Horizontal well positioning for optimum drainage and water coning control. Remaining reserve estimates were based on mapping of fluid contacts and determining appropriate recovery factors
Waterton, Canada Determination of condensate recovery from depleted gas/condensate fractured carbonate reservoir.
Cuisiana, Colombia Comprehensive reservoir and depletion study.
LaVela, Venezuela Well test design review
West Pembina, Alberta, Canada A review of wet gas pools, both blow down and cycling, to assess and optimise ultimate gas and condensate recovery
Disturbed Belt, Alberta A gas reserve and deliverability assessment of a low permeability carbonate reservoir. Reserves, deliverability, development scenarios and sensitivities to various parameters were examined with analytical and simulation methods
Ft. Liard, Fractured Carbonate Gas Field, Northern Canada Simulated the effect of various development strategies and offtake rates on the water-gas ratio and ultimate recovery from a complex faulted and fractured carbonate reservoir with an active water drive. The results directed the client to specific recompletion procedures
Paddy Creek, Alberta, Canada Evaluation of this reservoir required the use of a dual porosity/permeability simulation model. Several field development options including gas cycling and blowdown were investigated. The orientation of the fracture network was carefully studied since it was critical to recovery.
El Biban, Tunisia Optimum operational parameters for a horizontal well drilled into this highly fractured and faulted carbonate reservoir were examined. The pool has both an overlying gas cap and underlying aquifer. History matching of the model required alteration in the fracture description. Coning of fluids through the fracture networks had a significant impact on recovery.
Al Manzah, Tunisia This complex reservoir system that is severely faulted, and fractured with some gas coning issues. Characterization of the fracture network was achieved through FMI Logs and well test interpretation. A dual porosity/permeability reservoir simulation model was used to history match the discovery well’s production performance. The GOR response, flowing bottom hole pressure and reservoir pressure were matched to provide further development confidence.
East Lost Hills Reservoir, California, U.S.A. A Study of the coning behaviour of the East Lost Hills Reservoir, California was undertaken when the well was blowing out of control. The objective was to determine the optimal operating strategy and attempt to estimate a range of reserves for the pool. The reservoir is believed to be severely fractured
Midale, Weyburn, Canada A fractured carbonate reservoir with a preferential fracture orientation. Production performance predictions were developed for a waterflood which commenced in 1962 and a CO2 flood demonstration project which commenced in 1992. Commercial CO2 flood expansion development plans and economics were developed. Performance of multilateral horizontal well drilled both parallel and perpendicular to the preferential fracture orientation were matched analytically in order to estimate ultimate recovery efficiency for the CO2 flood and waterflood.
Judy Creek, Alberta, Canada Evaluation of remaining reserves under secondary and tertiary recovery for a large complex carbonate reef field. Prepared conceptual redevelopment program which addressed the aquifer influx
Stynava Field, Ukraine Review geological mapping, oil-in-place, reserves, production performance and well test results.
