Producibility Scenario of Unidentified Productive Zone
Abstract
Reservoir studies of naturally repressured reservoirs are highly problematic. Thus, their reserve estimation is notoriously in error. This is aggravated by the presence of communicating areas. The repressurization is due to the enhancement of the reservoir energy sourced by additional undeveloped productive zone(s). The aim of this study was to determine the source of constant recharging (repressurization) of a reservoir in the Niger Delta Oil Field. Several techniques were adopted to investigate the source of repressurization of the reservoir. An unknown productive zone was identified to be communicating with the reservoir which increased the STOIIP by over 100%.
