It is generally believed that the oil layer has the characteristics of low frequency enhancement and high frequency attenuation on the frequency spectrum. But in the actual application, the amplitude and frequency characteristics of the thicker water layer are very similar to that of the oil layer, which makes it hard to distinguish one from the other. In this paper, in order to identify the oil and water layer, a new method basis on matching pursuit decomposition (MPD) is proposed. Firstly, the time-frequency analysis of seismic data is carried out though high precision MPD method. Through analyzing the instantaneous amplitude at different frequencies, we consider that the main difference of the oil and water layer in the frequency spectrum is at the high frequency band where the oil layer shows relatively strong amplitude characteristics. Secondly, base on the high frequency resonance (HFR), the high frequency bright spot attribute is calculated from the frequency division data in the high frequency range. In this new attribute, the water layer is suppressed by the strong amplitude of the oil layer. Finally, the results of the HCI are obtained by multiplying the new attribute with the −90 degree phase shift of the seismic data. The forward modeling test and actual application in Bohai oilfield show that the high frequency bright spot method is more effective in suppressing the water layer and identifying thinner oil layers compared with the conventional low frequency and high frequency attenuation methods of HCI.","PeriodicalId":11267,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 28, 2019","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82601043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different development strategies has been adopted to develop a giant carbonate reservoir in the asset. Irregular scheme of WF has been implemented in the last 5 years which made it challenging to properly evaluate the WF performance. This paper presents both numerical and analytical approaches to assess the current performance of the waterflood in this reservoir.\u0000 The first method uses actual production and injection data to generate traditional waterflood plots such WOR vs. Np, injection throughput, VRR and other diagnostics.\u0000 The second approach uses the numerical model to understand the fluid movements in terms of production and water injection. A high resolution model is used to know about the horizontal producers and injectors WF scheme. Streamline model tool is used to understand how the injectors impact their surrounding producers. Injector's efficiency, allocation factors and reservoir sweep efficiency are calculated using the simulation model.\u0000 Both approaches are compared to have a better evaluation of the waterflood.\u0000 When the waterflood started, a regular i-9 spot patterns was the way to develop the reservoir. The heterogeneity of the reservoir was observed clearly in the different performance of each pattern. Also, high permeability layer (thief zone) has adversely affected the reservoir performance during WF.\u0000 The sharp increase of water cut with very low corresponding recovery factor triggered a paradigm shift in developing this waterflooded reservoir.

It is of great importance to find out the main cause or causes of these problems so that proper methods and techniques can be utilized to mitigate the problems and reduce the drilling non-productive time (NPT).\u0000 A series of drilled wells were reviewed to identify the key wells to be used for the geomechanical modelling and to help with understanding the drilling problems. One of the outcomes of the detailed geomechanical analysis was the realization that the stresses and rock behaviors are mainly affected and controlled by the structures. Wushi Sag can be divided into four structural areas: subsag-steep slope in the south, central inverted structure area, north slope and strike-slip faulting belt in the west. As a consequence of the complex structures, the formation depth varies greatly while some formations are absent or incomplete in some wells due to the well-developed high-angled faults.\u0000 An outcome of the study was the understanding that formation pressures are different in every structural area and are controlled by structural location and burial depth. The main overpressure generating mechanism was found to be type-II fluid expansion caused by either hydrocarbon generation or thermal effects, which can be well correlated to the oil window threshold in the area. Under-compaction may also play a role in some cases, but the overpressure caused by this mechanism is usually low in magnitude. Rock properties vary across the Sag while wells are hard to correlate with each other in different structural areas. The stress conditions appear to be different in each area although the main stress regime is strike-slip with the strike-slip faulting belt in the west having the highest stress ratio.\u0000 Due to the complexity of the pressure distribution, lateral formation changes and different stress conditions, improper mud weights and casing designs were used in some earlier wells, which likely led to the types of drilling problems listed above. Wells with severe instability problems were generally drilled with lower mud weights compared to the wells with lesser problems. Wells with both pack-off/tight holes and fluid losses usually have surface or intermittent casing shoes set too shallow while not preparing for the steep pressure ramp in deeper formations. Based on the problem diagnostics and geomechanical analyses, recommendations were made to help with the drilling of future wells by mitigating drilling-related instability problems. A series of wells were drilled successfully following the recommendations with all the possible risks properly understood and mitigated.","PeriodicalId":11267,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 28, 2019","volume":"80 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87978036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By selecting the nano-liquid silicon and latex anti-gas channeling agents, and synergistically enhancing the anti-gas channeling performance of cement slurry, the mechanical properties of cement set is improved; by optimizing the compounding and dosage of silicon powder with different particle sizes, the high-temperature stability of cement set is enhanced. Via the selection of inorganic fiber cracking-prevention and plugging system, the crack propagation is inhibited, and the leakage resistance of cement slurry and the impact resistance of cement set are improved. Hence, a high-temperature resistant latex anti-gas channeling cement slurry system was developed. The cement slurry system has the following properties: API water loss of <50 mL at 180 °C, SPN value of <1, cement set compressive strength of 39.3 MPa under 200 °C×21 MPa×60 d, Young's modulus of 6.9 GPa, gas layer permeability of 0.004×10-3 μm2, and its comprehensive mechanical properties are better than that on the 30th day.

At least two or three operators facing similar severe wellbore instability problems in the area.\u0000 Due to the complexity of subsurface systems and coupled interactions between depletion and stresses, the present-day stress state in Ujung Pangkah Field which have undergone production will be different from the pre-production stress state.

Present-day stress state is subsequently used for wellbore stability analysis of planned development wells in Ujung Pangkah Field. Investigation of the behavior of natural fractured reservoir during depletion and its impact to reservoir management is also attempted. Two-way coupling of geomechanic and dynamic models were conducted whereby porosity and permeability update due to production were simulated based on uniaxial pore volume compressibility tests.

To identify the areas of bypassed oil thus is a significant challenge with the current dynamic model. New engineering tools of polygon balancing, material balance, normalized EUR bubbles were used with the 3D static model volume and the facies understanding. The uncertainties and risks were also identified and clear measurable methods were proposed to address the uncertainties and reduce the risks.
