| Summary: | 14.4 MMSTB or 34.0 % of original oil in place. To determine An integrated geological, petrophysical and reservoir analyzed with an analytical model. Based on existing analyzed. A course of action to maximize economic return is balance calculations. Water influx was calculated. The be applied to other mature oil fields to make sound best areas in the field for waterflooding were identified and constructed. Depositional environments of the producing data from the field was collated and analyzed. Primary data, the original oil in place was estimated from determined for the first time since 1963. The field, development, the oil ultimate recovery is estimated to be drilling, hydraulic fracturing and waterflooding were economic analysis was applied to several schemes. Infill engineering and business decisions. I interpreted the engineering review was performed for a mature, producing oil field. field. Like many older fields, important data are missing or field. Structure, isopach and cross-sectional maps were fluid properties were estimated from correlations. Pressure fluid samples and analyzed oil gravity and viscosity. Other for the field. Potential reserves behind casing were geological structure and stratigaphy of the salt dome oil horizons were identified. Potential for additional reserves identified. Based on the revised geological and petrophysical implementation and reservoir response were identified. The individual reservoir, and individual well production more than 220 wells were documented. I collected wellhead outlined for the field. Hydraulic fracturing appears to be performances of analogous salt dome reservoirs were compared performances were reviewed. Initial production histories of porosity, permeability, and oil saturation were determined produced fluids data were analyzed. Average values of production mechanisms and aquifer influx were estimated by reviewed and suggestions made for better implementation. reviewing early producing history and performing material the most viable technique to improve oil production from the to that of the field. All past well stimulations were volumetrics to be 42.3 MMSTB. Cumulative oil production was was assessed. Well logs, core data, water resistivity and Water injection in the field was reviewed. Problems of were not collected. The techniques used in this thesis may whether oil recovery can be improved, incremental, after tax |
