RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

Reservoir Characterization process requires integration of all

subsurface disciplines (Geology, Geophysics, Petrophysics and
Reservoir Engineering)

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

 Geophysics (1)
 There are 2 seismic data sets (2010 PSTM and 2014 Broadband)
 Seismic interpretation, seismic attribute extraction, AVO analysis had
been performed to characterize the reservoir.

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

 Geophysics (2)
 Isochore maps were generated based on top and base interpretation
in order to estimate the gross thickness of reservoirs.
 Spectral Decomposition attribute was generated to investigate the
thickness distribution of reservoir targets.

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

 Geophysics (3)
 Seismic Wedge Modelling analysis was performed to understand the
response of amplitude vs thickness.
 Dim amplitude does not necessarily
correspond to thin or poor quality
reservoir. It could indicate thick good
quality reservoirs.

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION
 Geology (1)
 Based on seismic interpretation and amplitude map extraction, the
reservoirs demonstrate a slope channel geometry.
 Width of seismic anomalies interpreted as deep water channels is
50 m - 400 m
 The channels were deposited in the deep water confined system that
is characterized by relatively straight channels bodies.

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

 Geology (2)
 The GR log shows that the reservoir rocks are characterized by blocky and
fining-upward sequence (bell shape).
 By-pass features were found in core datadeep water channel complexes

RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION

 Petrophysics
 Reservoir of Jangkrik Complex is characterized by thin bed layers.
 The measured log values may not represent the true bed or layer properties.
 The alternation of thin beds could affect the resistivity values.
 The conventional Sw calculation could over estimate the actual Sw.
 To overcome this issue, the combination of 3 axial resistivity/density image tool is
mandatory. Image Log

CHALLENGES IN DRILLING CAMPAIGN

 Reservoir Geometry Uncertainties

 Shallow Geohazard Risk

 High Deviated Wells

 Reservoir Depth uncertainty implication to reservoir penetration

 Petrophysics analysis in thin beds reservoirs

 Change well drilling sequence in the middle of drilling campaign

CONCLUSIONS
 Reservoir Characterization summary :
 Reservoir type is a slope channel complex as product of deep water
sedimentation process.
 Unconsolidated sand character with good to excellent porosity and
permeability (ϕ : 0.22 – 0.30, K >100 mD)
 Typically contain thin beds of shale-silt-sand lamination.

 There is a significant level of uncertainty associated with the reservoir

geometries due to seismic resolution & low number of penetrations
per segment.
 Validating the reservoir targets has been performed using all
subsurface data in order to confirm the quality of targets penetration
for each well.

CONCLUSIONS

 Each well proposal is accompanied by a contingency plan with

backup locations and sampling programs to counter an unexpected
outcome.
 Challenges in the development drilling campaign of the Jangkrik
Complex project have been identified in order to mitigate the
subsurface risks.
 A good coordination among departments is a must for achieving the
optimum results of project.
