Geologic, technical, and economic sensitivity analysis in support of the GRI (Gas Research Institute) Tight Gas Reservoirs Project area. Annual report, November 1984-October 1985
During 1984-1985, Lewin and Associates, Inc., used the Tight Gas Analysis System (TGAS) as a planning and assessment tool for GRI. During this period TGAS was used to support the GRI Tight Gas Reservoirs Program: (1) evaluation of the benefits of the entire program and its subcomponents; (2) detailed analysis of a single formation (the Travis Peak); and (3) fine grain assessment of the role of information in the decision to drill, develop and produce a tight-gas prospect; (4) assistance in selecting RandD tasks that were most likely to achieve program objectives most cost-effectively and in developing a project-management structure. RandD planning assistance resulted in more quantifiable program objectives and developed a computerized version of several program components to test its usefulness as a management tool. The program analysis demonstrated that RandD in reservoir diagnostics and stimulation technology would make it possible to achieve significant reductions in the cost of gas while adding sizable new quantities of gas to supply. The work has yielded methodology, data and software that are applicable to industry as a whole in addition to serving GRI's needs.
