In the Semangkok field the hydrocarbon-bearing formations are two sandstones which contain rim type oil accumulations. The paper discusses the seismic and exploration drilling carried out for field delineation and other studies conducted to determine an optimum reservoir development strategy. The discussion includes the geology, preliminary development assumptions, and use of symmetrical element numerical models to determine the number of wells, well locations and initial completions, and the recommended reservoir deple tion plan. Selection of the optimum development plan included geologic uncertainty, facilities options and interrelations of the two oil sandstones.
