A high-carbon-dioxide (CO2) carbonate gas field offshore Sarawak, Malaysia, is scheduled for development. Reservoirs in this region have an average clay content of 8%; more than 50% of this clay content is migratory illite, and 15% is migratory kaolinite. The complete paper presents a numerical work flow to simulate the effect of flow-induced fines migration on production decline over time in deepwater reservoirs. Production and drawdown data from 10 subsea deepwater fractured wells have been modeled with an analytical model for unsteady-state flow with fines migration.

This course covers all the important facets of reservoir modeling, with a considerable amount of the class time reserved for discussion amongst the participants and instructors. Time permitting, previous models conducted by the instructors will also be discussed. By the end of this course, you will better understand how to plan and conduct reservoir studies, and how to review studies conducted by others. This course is for those who want to go beyond the Fundamentals of Reservoir Simulation course. Anyone involved in conducting, reviewing, or overseeing reservoir simulation studies will benefit.

This independent course provides participants with a unique insight into formation damage through the practical integration of regional, core, well and drilling data. Theory and principles are reinforced by the extensive use of real field examples from throughout the world. The course aims to demystify the subject of formation damage and promote a formation damage awareness culture, encouraging participants to challenge convention and think about the implications of damage throughout a field or well life cycle – from drilling to production. To learn about formation damage and the impact that it can have on well performance. To discuss potential sources of damage and the best way to avoid or manage damage.

Unconventional oil production using horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing has pushed the U.S. crude supply to over 10% of global production. However, only 5-10% of the original oil in place is typically recovered after massive fracturing operations. What is the next boom in development of unconventional resources? More aggressive drilling and fracturing or more effective techniques to recover the remaining oil using existing wells? Combined analyses of early-time production data and laboratory results suggest that well performance is influenced by rock-fluid interactions during extended shut-in periods after fracturing operations.
