Many years have passed in oil field development but primary challenges faced by the X reservoir are the rapid decline of formation pressure and the significant solution gas released from the formation, which impairs production. Based on these challenges, a compositional simulation model of the X reservoir was constructed and run to establish the future development plans. The basic reservoir data collection and processing, quality assurance of the data, characteristic pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) matching by ECLIPSE PVTi, and simulation of various adjustment strategies to forecast development plans, as well as data sensitivity analysis and optimization has been included in this study. In addition, to establish a desirable development plan, the simulation model is set up in great consistency with the geological model resulted from the seismic and logging interpretations. Also, emphases are paid on establishing matches with the reported lab data from production wells by PVTi. Results revealed that the specific reservoir development plan intends to reinstate or maintain formation pressure of the X reservoir. All design and optimization studies are set to comprehend the reservoir with the numerical model.

Novel Approach

Abstract The proper exploitation for a gas condensate reservoir requires an integrated collaboration and management strategy capable to provide detailed insight about future behavior of the reservoir. When a development plan is generated for a field, the reservoir management is not performed integrally, this is, different domains: geology, reservoir, drilling, production, economics, etc., work separately, and therefore, an adequate understanding of the main challenges, leading to issues such as an over dimensioning of surface facilities, excessive costs, among others. Through this paper, a methodology to improve the conventional field development plan is described, which contains 4 main pillars: Collaborative approach, Integrated analysis, engineering optimization and monitoring & surveillance. The methodology involves the description of a hybrid workflow based on the integration of multiple domains, technologies and recommendations to consider all the phenomena and compositional changes over time in the whole production system, aiming to define the optimum reservoir management strategy, facilities and operational philosophy as part of the Field Development Plan (FDP). Conventionally, the used of simplistic models most of times do not allow seeing phenomena in the adequate resolution (near wellbore and porous media effects, multiphase flow in pipelines, etc.), that occur with high interdependency in the Integrated Production System. With this methodology, the goal pursued is to support oil and gas companies to increase the recovery factor of gas condensate fields through the enhancement in the development and exploitation process and therefore, reducing associated costs and seizing available time and resources.

This paper presents an efficient technique to optimize a gas condensate field development plan under economic uncertainties. Many studies have been conducted to optimize development plan but mostly limited to oil field under fixed economic environments and required huge number of simulation runs. It is proved that black oil model can be a reasonable alternative of compositional model to complete field development optimization within acceptable period when reservoir pressure is higher enough than dew point pressure. This study implements Monte-Carlo simulation to Genetic Algorithm to assess economic uncertainties while optimization procedure is being performed and to avoid duplicating whole optimization procedure by changing economic assumptions. An idea for setting optimization variables for well placement is also introduced to reduce required number of simulation runs. A real field application confirms that the technique can be applied to optimize a gas condensate field with contractual gas sales obligation, and the idea plays a key role to find the optimized solution with limited resources by reducing the number of simulation runs required during the optimization procedure. The proposed technique can be applied to optimize not only full field development plan but also reservoir management plan and it will be helpful to improve economics of all kinds of E&P projects under lots of uncertainties.

Abstract As is known, fractured reservoirs compared to conventional reservoirs have such features as complex pore volume structure, high heterogeneity of the porosity and permeability properties etc. Apart from this, the productivity of a specific well is defined above all by the number of natural fractures penetrated by the wellbore and their properties. Development of fractured reservoirs is associated with a number of issues, one of which is related to uneven and accelerated water flooding due to water breakthrough through fractures to the wellbores, for this reason it becomes difficult to forecast the well performance. Under conditions of lack of information on the reservoir structure and aquifer activity, the 3D digital models of the field generated using the hydrodynamic simulators may feature insufficient predictive capability. However, forecasting of breakthroughs is important in terms of generating reliable HC and water production profiles and decision-making on reservoir management and field facilities for produced water treatment. Identification of possible sources of water flooding and planning of individual parameters of production well operation for the purpose of extending the water-free operation period play significant role in the development of these reservoirs. The purpose of this study is to describe the results of the hydrochemical monitoring to forecast the water flooding of the wells that penetrated a fractured reservoir on the example of a gas condensate field in Bolivia. The study contains data on the field development status and associated difficulties and uncertainties. The initial data were results of monthly analyses of the produced water and the water-gas ratio dynamics that were analyzed and compared to the data on the analogue fields. The data analysis demonstrated that first signs of water flooding for the wells of the field under study may be diagnosed through the monitoring of the produced water mineralization - the water-gas ratio (WGR) increase is preceded by the mineralization increase that may be observed approximately a month earlier. However, the data on the analogue fields shows that this period may be longer – from few months to two years. Thus, the hydrochemical method within integrated monitoring of development of a field with a fractured reservoir could be one of the efficient methods to timely adjust the well operation parameters and may extend the water-free period of its operation.

The Relationship

The authors created a geodynamical polygon on the Komsomolsk oil and gas condensate field to ensure the industrial safety of oil and gas production facilities. The aim of its creation is mul-tiple repeated observations of recent deformation processes. Analysis and interpretation of the results of geodynamical monitoring which includes class II leveling, satellite observations, radar interferometry, exploitation parameters of field development provided an opportunity to identify that the conditions for the formation of recent deformations of the earth’s surface is an anthropogenic factor. The authors identified the relationship between the formation of subsidence trough of the earth’s surface in the eastern part of the field with the dynamics of accumulated gas sampling and the fall of reservoir pressures along the main reservoir PK1 (Cenomanian stage).
