INTEGRATED RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF AN ONSHORE RESERVOIR IN NIGER DELTA BASIN

📄 Project Abstract

Reservoir characterization has long been identified as the ultimate process employed in detailed description of a reservoir in order to properly book the reserve and also to optimally place the wells and drain the reservoir. This report details the workflow of reservoir "X study, right from 3D seismic interpretation to delivery of a 3D static model of the reservoir by fully integrating all the available data in the field: 3D seismic data, well logs, deviation data, core data, checkshot data, PVT data, and production data The field of study is located in the Northern Depobelt of the Niger Delta basin in the Gulf of Guinea. 21 wells have been drilled to date, penetrating 7 hydrocarbon-bearing sands (6 oils and 1 gas) between 5900 and 8500 ftss. The field was discovered by well-1 in 1965. 4 of the 21 wells were completed on this reservoir. Reservoir "X is one of the 7 hydrocarbon-bearing sands in the field and has never been fully studied, that is, it does not have a static model and thus...
