The use of the modular dynamic tool in petrophysical parameters evaluation : application to the Bir-Berkine reservoirs - Algeria
(2008) Baouche, Rafik; Nedjari, A.
The technological development and the complexity of the reservoirs unceasingly encourage us to improve our working methods, of acquisition processing and interpretation of well logs, but the information provided by the well logs related to the localisation of hydrocarbons bearing zones is not perfect. The Modular Dynamic formation Tester (MDT) is a new generation of tools designed for the more pointed tests of formation. By using its various configurations and options it offers, unquestionable opportunity to obtain, starting from the pressure taps, a varied range of invaluable information for the management of the reservoirs. The virgin reservoirs service MDT is used:To determine the levels of the contacts of fluids (WOC and GOC): to determine the densities of the fluids; to characterize the reservoir heterogeneity; to decide the completion mode; to optimize the mud density to be used. In the development of reserves: to establish a pressure profile; to estimate the vertical and horizontal permeabilities; to detect the robbers zones; to determine the communications between the wells; The principal goal of this work is by combining the results of petrophysic measurements and pressure. To achieve this goal the study is articulated on four essential points:• The evaluation of the petrophysical parameters of the Bir-Berkine reservoirs; • Interpretation of pressure measurements; • Well to well correlation; • Result synthesis
A sedimentological approach to refining reservoir architecture using the well log data and core analysis in the saharan platform of algeria
(2009) Baouche, Rafik; Nedjari, A.; Eladj, S.
Improved reservoir characterisation in the mature oil applied to Gourara Field of Sahara in Algeria, aimed at maximising both in-field and near-field hydrocarbon potential, requires a clearer understanding of sub-seismic stratigraphy and facies distributions. In this context, we present a regional, high-resolution sequence stratigraphic framework for the Oued Namouss Field based on extensive sedimentological re-interpretation of core and wireline log data, combined with core analysis and published literature. This framework is used to place individual reservoirs in an appropriate regional context, thus resulting in the identification of subtle sedimentological and tectono-stratigraphic features of reservoir architecture that have been previously overlooked. We emphasise the following insights gained from our regional, high-resolution sequence stratigraphic synthesis: (1) improved definition of temporal and spatial trends in deposition both within and between individual reservoirs, (2) development of regionally consistent, predictive sedimentological models for two enigmatic reservoir intervals (the Formations I and II), and (3) recognition of subtle local tectono-stratigraphic controls on reservoir architecture, and their links to the regional structural evolution of the Province. We discuss the potential applications of these insights to the identification of additional exploration potential and to improved ultimate recovery.In this research a procedure was developed to assess and quantify uncertainties in hydrocarbon estimates related to depositional facies, petrophysical data and gross reservoir volumes. This procedure was applied to the Gourara Field, which is a mature gas field in the Oued Namous Basin, Algeria. The aim was to investigate the reasons for an unexpectedly high hydrocarbon recovery factor
Petrophysical analysis in reservoir characterization : application in the triassic hamra gas field, Algeria
(2007) Baouche, Rafik; Nedjari, A.; Said, E.
Petrophysical evaluation of the Upper and Lower shaly gas sand reservoirs of the Sahara field, using conventional well log interpretation techniques and relating the results to core data, shows that the Upper reservoir is of very good quality and apparently better than the Lower reservoir. Evaluation of the petrophysical parameters from the wells in the field show porosities ranging from 12 to 20% and permeabilities of about 500 mD, which are similar to regional values of 12 to 20% porosity and 1000 mD permeability. A crossplot-based lithological study shows that the matrix is dominantly quartz, with calcitic and dolomitic cements, a high percentage of montmorillonite clays, and a smaller percentage of illite and micas. A study of lateral variations of petrophysical parameters shows that porosities increase from NE to SW, similar to the saturations. This study shows the role of wireline petrophysical analysis as a tool in reservoir characterization of shaly sands in the Sahara field. This paper examines the use of log analysis and mean petrophysical reservoir parameters as a tool in successfully establishing reservoir architecture and fluid-flow trends. Data from Gamma Ray, Neutron, Density, Sonic and Resistivity logs was utilized for petrophysical analysis to correlate layers in this reservoir characterization study. Petrophysical evaluation of the Shaly Sand gas reservoir (TAGS) of the Rhourde Hamra field, using conventional well log interpretation techniques and relating the results to core data, shows that the reservoir is of very good quality
