Improved Understanding of Minor Reservoirs Optimizes Full-Field Productivity

The goal of this paper is to improve the understanding of uncertainties affecting well performance and reservoir connectivity in an offshore Malaysian field.

Reservoirs in the MN field offshore Malaysia consist of predominantly fluvial delta deposits. Several modeling studies have been performed for major reservoirs. After more than 20 years of production, a project for minor reservoirs has been created. The primary objective of this study was to improve the understanding of the uncertainties affecting well performance and reservoir connectivity and to identify potential infill opportunities.

Introduction

From the initial analysis of a 2017 full-field review (FFR), the team decided that a detailed subsurface evaluation was necessary.
