Status Report: Updating RD/RDT Reservoir Model: Depositional Study

This weekly status report provides an update on work to update the reservoir model for the RD/RDT fields in the Nam Con Son Basin, Vietnam. Over the past week, the team interpreted core data from two wells to understand the depositional facies and stratigraphy, analyzed well logs from 10 wells to determine sand body geometry, and began seismic attribute analysis. Planned work for next week includes updating the structural model, building cross-section diagrams of key intervals, developing a conceptual depositional model, and continuing seismic attribute analysis. A key challenge is the complex depositional environment with discontinuous sand bodies that are difficult to extrapolate between wells.

Geophysicist Hien Dao Mr. Trinh Nguyen
Field RD-RDT Basin: Nam Con Son Basin
Project Status: Depositional Setting, Stratigraphic Architecture and Reservoir Geometry
Well & Seismic Data review

A. Work done in this week

Depositional Study:
• Interpreted the depositional facies and stratigraphy in the RDT-2P and RD-2X cores and compared
it to the Weatherford interpretation
• Partially completed a similar interpretation for the RD-1X core
• Looked at well log signatures in the B3 sand of 10 wells to determine sand body orientation and
extent
• Started to do the same for the O and N sand
Geophysical Study
• Seismic reviewing and analyzing some attributes to assist depositional study
• Rock physic model review to check if we can use previous reservoir characterization work for
properties modeling.
Geomodeling:
• Flow unit analysis from core at RD-1XST, RD-2X and RDT-2P, define Flow unit along all of the wells
to be used in Permeability modeling, Irreducible water saturation.

B. Work Planned for next week

• Update structural model, horizon model based on updated seismic, well marker -> create new grid
• Finalize fence diagrams for B3, O and N intervals from the core and log data.
• Build conceptual model: cartoon of depositional settings, analog outcrop, sand body geometry…
• Continue seismic attributes analysis

C. Challenges/ Issues need to be awared

 It is difficulty to extrapolate the core facies to the uncored intervals because in RDT-2P and RD-2X
for which we have core photos (RD-1X photos is taken in 19 Nov), the facies are tide-dominated
and transgressive (see the slides for detail), which means that the sand bodies are very small and
laterally discontinuous plus the standard coarsening upward = progradational does not apply.
Weatherford simply applied the standard assumptions and interpreted everything. That is one
approach but not necessarily accurate. The challenge is a wide range of log patterns and they
change rapidly both vertically and laterally (see the attached logs for the B3 sand in the closely-
spaced development wells). We suspect that the depositional setting was a low energy, possibly
irregular, coastline with a complex distribution of sedimentary environments that shift frequently in
response to minor relative sea level changes, making it extremely difficult to interpret or model the
uncored sands.
 The new conceptual model can be significantly different than previous interpretation in term of sand
geometry. A discussion on modeling technique selection will be needed after conceptual model
building.
