Reservoir Characterization Constrained to Well-Test Data: A Field Example
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a method to integrate well test, production, shut-in pressure, log, core, and geological data to obtain a reservoir description for the Pagerungan field, offshore Indonesia. The method computes spatial distributions of permeability and porosity and generates a pressure response for comparison to field data. This technique produced a good match with well-test data from three wells and seven shut-in pressures. The permeability and porosity distributions also provide a reasonable explanation of the observed effects of a nearby aquifer on individual wells. As a final step, the method is compared to an alternate technique ~object modeling! that models the reservoir as a two-dimensional channel.

Net pay thickness is defined as that portion of a reservoir which contains economically producible hydrocarbons with today’s technology, prices, and costs. This thickness is a key parameter of the volumetric calculation of in-place hydrocarbons, well test interpretation, and reservoir characterization. A reservoir interval is considered as net pay when it contains hydrocarbons that can flow at ...
