Well testing analysis

The main objective of well testing in Gambang field is to collect reservoir fluids and to estimate reservoir
parameters such as reservoir pressure and reservoir flow capacity (kh). Seven DST were evaluated
during the study. There is no isochronal gas well testing available in the field. Therefore, the absolute
open flow potential is estimated from reservoir model using absolute permeability from well testing. In
this study, the drainage radius is also calculated from the transient conditions. The radius of
investigation from well testing is then plotted on the corresponding reservoir model (at the same
reservoir depth). From well testing point of view, reservoir in Gambang field are very heterogeneous.
We can see this example from DST-3 Gambang-1 (oil sample). The reservoir under testing is two layer
reservoir without any barrier, hence there is a reservoir fluid from the less permeability layer (high
reservoir pressure) to more permeable layer (low reservoir pressure). The reservoir fluid cross flow
takes place in very short time (usually less than 1 hour). Figure-4.23 shows log-log plot for this analysis.
We can see the transient conditions after cross flow are not fully attained due to lack of time (the
buildup time is less than 40 hours). Although we can fit the data with other reservoir model, however
the two layer reservoir model with cross flow gives the least standard deviation error. Therefore this
model is selected to represent this reservoir. Figure-4.24 and figure-4.25 show the semi-log and
Cartesian plots of DST-1 Gambang-3. Table-4.6 shows details of well testing results.

The log-log plot of Gambang-2 DST-6 is presented in Figure-4.26. The reservoir model is a rectangular
reservoir. The estimated reservoir size is 1400 ft x 40 ft., this model resembles a channel reservoir.
Figure-4.27 shows the semi-log plot. This plot shows a good agreement between the test data and the
model. Figure-4.28 shows the Cartesian plot of DST-6 Gambang-2. Please note, the gas rate is not fully
measured along with reservoir pressure along the test, therefore, the reservoir pressure does not
always follow the well test data. In this case, we focus geological model. The channel configurations (the
white stake) support the rectangular reservoir assumption in this analysis. Table-4.7 shows of well
testing results.

Figure-4.33 shows log-log plot of Gambang-3 DST-2 test. The reservoir is modeled using rectangular
reservoir assumptions. Figure-4.31 and figure-4.32 show semi-log and Cartesian plots. These plots show
a good agreement between test data and simulated results. Table-4.8 shows details of well testing
results.

Figure-4.33 shows log-log plot of Gambang-3 DST-3. This plot shows that the transient portion is not
fully accomplished. The estimated reservoir flow capacity (kh) is 16 md.ft. Although this is considered as
a very low reservoir, however, for gas reservoir it is sufficient to flow gas. The estimated initial reservoir
pressure is 1498 psia. Figure-4.34 and figure-4.35 show semi-log and Cartesian plots of this test. These
plots show a good agreement between test data and simulated results, except during the drawdown
period, the simulated data do not follow the model fully. This is due to during the drawdown period, the
transient effects dominate the reservoir flow and the reservoir pressure is not measured along with the
gas flow rate. Figure-4.36 shows well test location on top the corresponding layer. Table-4.9 details of
well testing results.

Figure-4.37 shows log-log plot of DST-4 Gambang-3. The test shows the fitted reservoir configuration is a
circular reservoir with radius of 1590 ft. The estimated reservoir flow capacity (kh) is 188 md.ft. The log-
log plot shows the transient portion is very short (less than 10 hours). Figure-4.38 and figure-4.39 show
semi-log and Cartesian plots of this test. These plot show is a good agreement between test data and
simulated results. The Cartesian plot also shows a good agreement between the data and simulated
results, except at the beginning and at the end where the fluid flow is not coming all from the reservoir.

Table-4.10 shows details of well testing results.

Figure-4.41 shows log-log plot of DST-5 Gambang-3 (sand A28A/B). this reservoir is also modeled using
circular reservoir model. The estimated radius of investigation is 328 ft with reservoir flow capacity (kh)
of 188 md.ft. Figure-4.42 and figure -4.43 show semi-log and Cartesian plots of the test. These plots
show a good agreement between test data and simulated results. Figure-4.44 show geological model
overlain by the reservoir radius. Table-4.12 shows details of well testing results.

Figure-4.45 shows log-log of Gambang-3 DST-6 test also assumes homogeneous reservoir under
transient conditions. The estimated drainage radius is 5200 ft with reservoir flow capacity of 130 md.ft.
Figure-4.46 and Figure-4.47 show semi-log and Cartesian plots of this test. These plots show a good
agreement between test data and simulated results. Figure-4.48 shows geological model overlain by the
reservoir radius. Table-4.12 shows details of well testing results.
