Historical well production was compared to field averages (oil / water) to verify candidate selection. Schlumbe

  35. Slide 35: Conclusions

    Conclusions „ South Part of the field (D & B ) seem to be less productive (possibly associated with low reservoir quality). „ North part of the field (C) cumulated high oil production (low Schlumberger Private cumulative water) without receiving comparable volumes of water injection. This area seem

  57. Slide 57: Conclusions

    Conclusions • TMCBSU reservoir pressure is close to original BHP. • There is incremental production to be gained from existing active wells. • Some active wells do not appear to be properly communicated with the reservoir. • There is missing critical well and field information • Portable Pumping Uni

  58. Slide 58: Recommendations

    Recommendations Short term production/reserves • Focus on existing production of active wells / reactivations Long term reserves • Need to source missing data and to evaluate Engineering, Geological and Operational information to opt for either: – Horizontal Well Drilling – Waterflood reinstallation

  63. Slide 63: Proposed Next Steps

    Proposed Next Steps ¾ Begin Lifting Optimization & Testing Operations • Operations & Lifting experts can be sourced from Schlumberger ¾ Secure Missing Information - Complete Well Files Schlumberger Private • Schlumberger involvement key (Identify, Compile and Catalog data) ¾ Consider Geological Mode
