Techniques for Field Development Geology



Introduction:


Successful field appraisal, development, and management require a fundamental understanding of the reservoir pore space distribution.  Participants will learn to compile a development plan for a field that emphasizes optimal recovery. Emphasis is placed on the selection of rock, log and test data to distinguish reservoir and non-reservoir rocks, and to determine the lower limit of pay. Structural, stratigraphic, deposition and digenetic concepts are used to locate drill sites and describe reservoirs. The input required to construct a geologic reservoir model is reviewed. Participants will learn the importance of modifying development plans as a field becomes more mature and more data is available. Techniques for mature field rejuvenation are discussed, and case histories are used to illustrate successful application of various techniques.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Select optimum drill sites for field development
  • Use log and rock data to identify reservoir rock, non-reservoir rock and pay
  • Determine fluid distribution in a field and identify reservoir compartments
  • Estimate field reserves through the life of a field
  • Characterize carbonate and clastic rocks by productivity
  • Construct geologic reservoir models
  • Determine field drive mechanism
  • Apply seismic analysis to reservoir development
  • Determine which depositional characteristic impact reservoir behavior and use this information to optimize development
  • Compile development plan
  • Use economic techniques to evaluate different development plans
