Assignment Instruction: In this Learning Module, you will establish general
data acquisition requirements for an integrated
reservoir study of the Sucre field. You will consider
both existing and potential data sources, and
determine what information you need to start building
a reservoir model. By the time you complete this
module, you should be able to determine information
needs, identify and access interdisciplinary data
resources, and compile reservoir information based
on the parameters to be defined.
In this Learning Module assignment, the reservoir
is in the early appraisal stage of its life. Its
status at the time of this assignment is as follows:
- A structure contour map has been generated from seismic data and interpretations of regional geological data.
- Well 4E1-NE, the discovery well, is currently on an extended production test.
- Well 5C1-SW tested all water, and was subsequently suspended.
- Drilling is in progress on Well 2A5-NE. A conventional coring program has been authorized, and should be getting underway soon.
The reservoir management team is already at work
compiling a database of reservoir information. Your
job in this assignment is to provide some ideas of
what this database can contribute to the task of
reservoir management, and what information should be
added to it.
