The AKPO field is a condensate field that is currently in a mature phase with the attendant challenge of enhancing field life to maximize investment. To combat this challenge, targeting of un-swept oil using infill wells is implemented in the field to prolong production. We present seismic reservoir characterization, dynamic reservoir model simulation, and resistivity modeling efforts that were employed during the design and geosteering of a high angle infill well into an un-swept area of a complex channel turbidite reservoir. The geosteering was successful with net sand in the drain surpassing the pre-well prognosis. A key highlight of the success was the termination of the well 500 m short of the prognosed TD due to attainment of net sand required for well completion that was more than prognosis, thus reducing the well cost. At start-up, oil production from the well was significant, with production after ramp-up at 5000 bopd, thus validating our integrated geological, geophysical, and engineering approach. |
