    Status Report: Updating RD/RDT Reservoir Model: Depositional Study

    Uploaded by

    Thinh On
    This weekly status report provides an update on work to update the reservoir model for the RD/RDT fields in the Nam Con Son Basin, Vietnam. Over the past week, the team interpreted core data from two wells to understand the depositional facies and stratigraphy, analyzed well logs from 10 wells to determine sand body geometry, and began seismic attribute analysis. Planned work for next week includes updating the structural model, building cross-section diagrams of key intervals, developing a conceptual depositional model, and continuing seismic attribute analysis. A key challenge is the complex depositional environment with discontinuous sand bodies that are difficult to extrapolate between wells.

    Status Report: Updating RD/RDT Reservoir Model

    Client: KNOC Vietnam Date: 20/11/2015 Weekly Report # 01


    Sedimentologist Joe Lambiase Client Contact: Mr. Kim Hyunjoon
    Geomodeler Trung Doan Mr. Jeong Jae Hyok
    Geophysicist Hien Dao Mr. Trinh Nguyen
    Field RD-RDT Basin: Nam Con Son Basin
    Project Status: Depositional Setting, Stratigraphic Architecture and Reservoir Geometry
    Well & Seismic Data review

    A. Work done in this week

    Depositional Study:
    • Interpreted the depositional facies and stratigraphy in the RDT-2P and RD-2X cores and compared
    it to the Weatherford interpretation
    • Partially completed a similar interpretation for the RD-1X core
    • Looked at well log signatures in the B3 sand of 10 wells to determine sand body orientation and
    extent
    • Started to do the same for the O and N sand
    Geophysical Study
    • Seismic reviewing and analyzing some attributes to assist depositional study
    • Rock physic model review to check if we can use previous reservoir characterization work for
    properties modeling.
    Geomodeling:
    • Flow unit analysis from core at RD-1XST, RD-2X and RDT-2P, define Flow unit along all of the wells
    to be used in Permeability modeling, Irreducible water saturation.

    B. Work Planned for next week

    • Update structural model, horizon model based on updated seismic, well marker -> create new grid
    • Finalize fence diagrams for B3, O and N intervals from the core and log data.
    • Build conceptual model: cartoon of depositional settings, analog outcrop, sand body geometry…
    • Continue seismic attributes analysis

    C. Challenges/ Issues need to be awared

     It is difficulty to extrapolate the core facies to the uncored intervals because in RDT-2P and RD-2X
    for which we have core photos (RD-1X photos is taken in 19 Nov), the facies are tide-dominated
    and transgressive (see the slides for detail), which means that the sand bodies are very small and
    laterally discontinuous plus the standard coarsening upward = progradational does not apply.
    Weatherford simply applied the standard assumptions and interpreted everything. That is one
    approach but not necessarily accurate. The challenge is a wide range of log patterns and they
    change rapidly both vertically and laterally (see the attached logs for the B3 sand in the closely-
    spaced development wells). We suspect that the depositional setting was a low energy, possibly
    irregular, coastline with a complex distribution of sedimentary environments that shift frequently in
    response to minor relative sea level changes, making it extremely difficult to interpret or model the
    uncored sands.
     The new conceptual model can be significantly different than previous interpretation in term of sand
    geometry. A discussion on modeling technique selection will be needed after conceptual model
    building.
