In-person @NPD: Tight Reservoirs – Reservoir Appraisal and Development
Developing tight reservoir plays effectively depends on a successfully completing a precarious balancing act between technical cost and economic benefits, with typically small commercial margins.
- Building-up a thorough understanding of the subsurface variation in rock and fluid properties, for both the target reservoir and the overburden sequence, is essential.
- Understanding and accepting that there typically will be irreducible subsurface uncertainties due to often pronounced reservoir heterogeneity is essential for project planning and decision making.
- There are no ‘silver bullets’ for development as individual reservoirs can be tight and difficult to develop for many reasons.
- Full life cycle thinking is essential in completing timely and careful appraisal and shaping the decisions required for field/area development.
- Avoidance of ‘bitter’ spots may be equally important as ‘sweet spotting’ in dealing with the various subsurface uncertainties and optimising projects.
