Integrated study of the Grayburg/San Andres reservoir, Foster and South Cowden fields, Ector County, Texas. Quarterly technical progress report number 1, August 2--October 30, 1994

摘要

The objective of this study is to demonstrate a methodology for reservoir characterization of shallow shelf carbonate reservoirs which is feasible for the independent operator. Furthermore, it will provide one of the first public demonstrations of the enhancement of reservoir characterization using high resolution 3D seismic data. This particular project will evaluate the Grayburg and San Andres reservoirs in the Foster and South Cowden Fields of Ector County, Texas. The authors intend to showcase a multi-disciplinary approach to water flood design and implementation, along with the addition of reserves by selective infill drilling. They believe this approach in reservoir development will be applicable to a wide range of shallow shelf carbonate reservoirs throughout the US. During the month of August, 1994, the 3D seismic survey over the project area was shot by Dawson Geophysical. To date, the data is still being processed at Dawson Geophysical. Technology transfer will take place through all phases of the project.
