Application of integrated reservoir management and reservoir characterization to optimize infill drilling. [Quarterly] report, March 13, 1995--June 12, 1995

The primary objective of this project is to conduct a cost-shared geologically targeted infill drilling filed demonstration that will enhance the domestic producibility of shallow shelf carbonate reservoirs by demonstration and technology transfer of the advanced recovery technologies employed, application of integrated reservoir management and reservoir characterization. Progress reports are presented for this past quarter for the following tasks: management and administration; reservoir characterization and analysis; integrated reservoir management; and technology transfer

Application of integrated reservoir management and reservoir characterization to optimize infill drilling. Annual report, June 13, 1994--June 12, 1995

This project has used a multi-disciplinary approach employing geology, geophysics, and engineering to conduct advanced reservoir characterization and management activities to design and implement an optimized infill drilling program at the North Robertson (Clearfork) Unit in Gaines County, Texas. The activities during the first Budget Period have consisted of developing an integrated reservoir description from geological, engineering, and geostatistical studies, and using this description for reservoir flow simulation. Specific reservoir management activities are being identified and tested. The geologically targeted infill drilling program will be implemented using the results of this work. A significant contribution of this project is to demonstrate the use of cost-effective reservoir characterization and management tools that will be helpful to both independent and major operators for the optimal development of heterogeneous, low permeability shallow-shelf carbonate (SSC) reservoirs. The techniques that are outlined for the formulation of an integrated reservoir description apply to all oil and gas reservoirs, but are specifically tailored for use in the heterogeneous, low permeability carbonate reservoirs of West Texas

Application of integrated reservoir management and reservoir characterization to optimize infill drilling. Quarterly progress report, June 13, 1995--September 12, 1995

At this stage of the reservoir characterization research, the main emphasis is on the geostatistics and reservoir simulation. Progress is reported on geological analysis, reservoir simulation, and reservoir management

The sequence analysis data showed that134 (21.61%) sites out of 628 sites were variable without insertion or deletion. Rate of transition(70.5%) were higher than transversion (29.41%). There was a high inter¬species divergence (range4.1% to 12.2%) in Mahseer species as compared to intra¬specific sequence divergence (1.7% for T.putitora, 1.2% for T. tor, 1.4% for T. khudree, 3.0% for T. chelynoides, 0.26 % for N. hexagonolopis). Thephylogenetic tree, constructed by maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and unweighted pairgroup average methods revealed similar results suggesting that T. putitora, T. tor and T. khudreehad a close relationship to each other while maximum divergence was observed in T. chelynoides,which was also confirmed by the genetic distance data. The results indicate that COI sequencing orbar¬coding is useful in unravelling phylogenetic relationship and identification of Mahseer species.Not Availabl
