so u r saying dat the best way to determine the OGC n WOC is by log data rite?

actually, the field was given to us for our final sem project. other groups have been given with tonnes of log data but not us. i guess, it's impossible for us to come out with the FDP with zero log data. to make things worst, the MDT-GR data were given to us was only from 1 wildcat well while we have about 12 wildcat wells in the map. i guess there's no way for us to determine the type of formation, the type of reservoir, the formation pressure, etc since we can't correlate those 12 wildcat wells right?

owh, that's a new info for me knowing dat the footwall n the roofwall of the fault are different in pressure. i wish i can show u the complication that we are facing right now with the numbers of the fault available in our field sad.gif it seems impossible for us to drill if we are going to avoid all the fault at all. let say if we want to drill on the fault, the only thing that we can do is to change the mud weight everytime we drill along it, right?
hahahaha can i use wang pos then?

the biggest problem for us is that the MDT-GR data that we have is only from 1 well. please correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think it's possible to generate a fluid distribution map only by referring to 1 wildcat well data.

seriously, we really don't know what to do next. i think we'll ask to change the field coz it seems impossible to come out with a FDP with these type of datas sad.gif

If all else fails use these methods.

Since you have information from one well, then at minimum you have to assume

1. Any hydrocarbon encountered by the well (from MDT data) will only be limited to the fault blocks that it is drilled. All other blocks cannot be counted in the volume calculation. This will be your proved in place/reserve for FDP purposes.

2. I thought you should be able to come up with the OWC/GOC from the MDT datasets? You should have the oil pressure sample and if you're lucky the gas pressure sample from the MDT and using the hydrostatic pressure, you should be able to come up with the OWC/GOC (if you have the gas pressure sample) right? If you can do that, then your proved fluid limit will be based on the MDT

You can do a Proved + Probable volumes based on your assumption that some of the fault blocks are not sealing and that from the GR datasets, you should be able to tell what kind of environment you're in, channel sands, shoreface, etc and you can then assume how widely distributed the sand is ... if it is a channel system complex, use a modern analog to come up with the distribution of the channel complex. Usually based on the thickness of the channel complex, you should be able to come up with a reasonable width of the complex (i.e if the channel sand is 30 metres then, the channle complex can be 1-2km in width etc.) from there, you can estimate the proved + probable assume that the faults are not sealing for areas where there are channel sands.

If the GR indicates that it's a shoreface system, then you need to determine where you believe the source of deposition is and where the direction of the beach is, based on that you can then estimate the width of the shoreface and how long the beach is going to be, use an analog like Pantai Cinta Berahi or Desaru or whatever you like. From there, you can determine the proved + probable.

For maximum case, treat the field as a homogeneous reservoir. If the sand is 30 meters thick, assume the whole field has the same sand thickness and go from there.

That is why we never develop a field based on one well, that's just insane because the risk and uncertainty is so high ...

That is why Geologist is important as well smile.gif

thanks for the quite complicated but very helpful answers!

so should i eliminate all the fault blocks that doesn't come with any well data in my FDP calculation? is it possible to treat the whole field as homogeneous since there are 2 big faults that separates the block 1 (the one that comes with MDT-GR) data from the other block? another problem that we have is that the GR data only covers from 1500 - 1600 m depth for that specific well. (the total depth of that well is about 2000 m depth)can we determine the whole formation type if we weren't given a complete set of GR data if it was the case?

since u say that it's insane to develop a field only based on one MDT-GR data, i think the best option that i have right now is to change the field right? i'm not going to present our findings and plans with so many uncertainties and risk. we'll be dead during the presentation answering all the questions from the industrial representative examiners sad.gif

owh totally agree with ur statement on the importance of a geologist. in fact, i'm more interested to be a petrophysicist compared to reservoir eng, drilling, etc biggrin.gif the project would be totally f*#ked up if both geologist and petrophysicist couldn't do their job properly!

For volume calculation, you do 3 things

1. Proved reserves/in place, you just calculate the volume in the block with the well data
2. Proved + Probable - Both blocks is calculated
3. Proved + Probable + Possible - Homogenous reservoirs covering all blocks

As for the GR, you need to see how the data coverage of the well (i.e 1500 - 1600) corresponds to the reservoir section based on the maps. I have a suspicion that the GR covers the reservoir section so it should be okay. If it does not cover the reservoir section, then you can go to your professor and say F**k you in his face. He obviously have no frakkin clue about doing an FDP then.

I think, what the prof or industry rep wants to see is how you handle this situation with the limited data that they gave you. There will be time when you do a data review where you will only have really limited data. I have a strong suspicion that they want to hear how you quantify and assess the risks and uncertainty in developing the field.

It is always easy to do a project based on lots of data, the challenge in the industry is coming up with plans (which has taken into account the risks and uncertainty) when you don't have the luxury of those datasets.

Your call.

Hi guys..I need advice here..

I got a offer job as a Pipeline Engineer(downstream) from a EPCC company doing pipeline industry specialist in HDD for Gas Malaysia (Petronas) and I am a fresh graduate from UM in Chemical Engineering.My questions are

1)Can I go for upstream industry after I gain experiences here?maybe about 2 years,then I plan to go for a bigger company n doing upstream jobs.

2)Or I just reject their offer and wait for upstream jobs offer which Im not sure when I will get the interview/jobs?

Congratulations! EPCC company is good. You can get your hands dirty during commissioning. smile.gif

Normally thats the case in Malaysia. Good result means higher chance to secure an interview but not the job. To determine whether you will get the job or not depends on your interview.

But companies like SLB do consider people with lower cgpa(as in second class upper/lower) to attend their interview/assessment. They really love people who are street smart and able to handle pressure.

And yes, results do play a big role in landing your first job as you dont have any working experience.

Don't get discouraged. Try and try.

BTW, not all 3 pointers are bookworms and not all 2nd graders are street smart. Individual basis. biggrin.gif

Guys, I’m currently trying to switch my career now into o&g field. I only have working experience around 10 month, still a fresh graduates. I already submit and send some resume to some big company like Sapura or Kencana but no response. Thinking of trying to join small o&g company, anyone know one? Or advise?
