Permeability Permeability
The permeability is a property that expresses the
capacity of the porous medium to transmit fluids.
It is a dynamic variable Measured in millidarcy Permeability value Classification [mD]
Greater permeability, in general, corresponds to greater 110 poor
porosity, but this not an absolute rule 10100 good
Permeability is not necessarily the same in all directions.
1001000 excellent
In general, the horizontal permeability is greater than
vertical
Pay zone
The thickness of a portion of a reservoir that
contains economically producible hydrocarbons.
To determine the height of the pay sand, well logs
are performed with instruments (called sondes)
which are lowered down the borehole on armored
electrical cable (called a wireline).
Sometimes also called wireline logging
Logging determines several paramenters e.g.
Gammaray and Resistivity log

Well Completion
An optimized performance analysis of the total producing
system from the reservoir rock through the completion,
well bore and gathering system is presented to the
participants. They have the task to choose the size of the
tubing to determine the most suitable well production
rate.

Secondary recovery/Injection
In general water flooding generates an increment in the recovery factor
greater than gas injection.

Results
First oil: Fields are assumed to start production at the
time given in the latest available execution plan.
Production: fields are assumed to ramp up to
plateau/peak production rapidly. First year production is
calculated from when during the year the field is supposed
to go on stream. Eventual later tie-backs are assumed to
come on stream at the time given and to keep the plateau
level until decline sets in.
Plateau/peak level: Any information on plateau/peak
level is used usually represent economically a % of the
reserves. If no such information exists an estimate based
on the production capacity of the existing production unit is
made. The peak level is assumed to be constant until the
decline phase sets in.

Floating systems:
Number of wells
The topsides are similar to the fix platforms, nonetheless
because they are floating structures they have to be
moored in place with tendons or wire ropes and chain in
order to stay connected to the subsea systems below Fixed
platforms
and not be drag by sea draught.

Example:
36 wells
9 well clusters

Development option
Tie Back to an existing platform:
The investment is reduced using the spare capacity in the
existing platform. It is a very suitable option for
small developments.
Offshore to beach development:
In this case onshore facilities are available, multiphase
production can be transported to the shore to process it. It
is a good option to reduce capex when distances to shore
are short.
New Stand alone development:
When there are no existing installation and the recoverable
reserves are large or the distance to shore is too far, New
stand alone development can be considered using the
platform that is most suitable for the surrounding
conditions.
