Assignment Instruction: Reservoir surveillance is a process of identifying,
gathering and interpreting the information needed to
effectively manage the reservoir and maximize economic
hydrocarbon recovery. This process become more and more
critical as a field passes through the various phases of
primary, secondary and enhanced recovery.
In this assignment, you will plan a data acquisition
program for the Upper/Middle Sands that includes the
following elements:
- Present and future objectives
- Data requirements
- Data sources
- Acquisition methods
- Interpretation of collected data
By the time you complete this assignment, you should be
able to acquire and analyze pressure data, PVT reports,
production records, injection records, production tests,
fluid sampling, injectivity tests, and other information
for the purpose of monitoring reservoir behavior.
The exploration/appraisal program for this reservoir
is currently in its third year. So far, four wells have
been drilled: 4E1-NE, 5C1-SW (suspended), 2A5-NE and
5A1-SW.
