Infill drilling & reserve growth determination in lenticular tight gas sands

Conference ·
OSTI ID:468151
The paper details the acquisition of detailed core and pressure data and the subsequent reservoir modeling in the Ozona Gas Field, Crockett County, Texas. The Canyon formation is the focus of the study and consists of complex turbidite sands characterized by numerous lenticular gas bearing members. The sands cannot be characterized using indirect measurements (logs) and no reliable porosity-permeability relationship could be developed. The reservoir simulation results illustrate the problems associated with interpreting typical pressure and production data in tight gas sands and details procedures to identify incremental reserves. Reservoir layering was represented by five model layers and layer permeabilities were estimated based on statistical distributions from core measurements.
