Abstract
I. Introduction
Plan of Development is a plan to develop
one or more oil and gas field in an
integrated way in order to produce the
hydrocarbon reserves optimally by
considering the technical, economics and
HSE aspects. A field development is
divided into three main scenarios are
workover, infill well and water injection.
The proposed development of this field is
an improvement plan of development on
previous field. Therefore, the number of
the addition of new wells or workover
follows the previous development plan.
The term Workover refers to a variety of
remedial operations performed on a well to
maintain, restore, or improve productivity.
Workover operations can include such jobs
as replacing damaged tubing, recompleting
to a higher zone, acidizing near-wellbore
damage, plugging and abandoning a zone,
etc. Careful analysis will determine if the
decline is abnormal or the result of normal
reservoir depletion. If deemed abnormal, it
must be determined if the problem is in the
reservoir inflow system, the wellbore
outflow system, or both. Inflow problems
can be corrected with stimulation
procedures such as acidizing, fracturing,
scale, or paraffin treatments or by re-
perforating or additional perforating.
Outflow problem resolution may require
equipment changes, cleanouts, or chemical
treatments. Infill well is adding new wells
in an existing field within the original well
patterns to accelerate recovery or to test
recovery methods. In reality most
reservoirs are not homogeneous in terms of
permeability (isotropic permeability).
Usually perme ability varies significantly
between the vertical and horizontal planes
within a formation. This variation in
permeability in different planes or
directions is known as anisotropic
permeability. Anisotropic permeability is
especially important when dealing with
horizontal or partially penetrated wells
since flow occurs in both the vertical and
horizontal planes. In general, it is not
uncommon to assume that the permeability
in the x-direction (kx) is close to that in the
y-direction (ky). However, the permeability
in the z-direction (kz) is typically
significantly different, usually less, than
the horizontal permeabilities (kx and ky).
Thus, vertical radial flow is controlled by
ky and kz (where x is the direction of the
horizontal wellbore) and horizontal radial
flow is controlled by kx and ky. To obtain
optimal results in the field development,
simulation reservoir needs to be done with
the help commercial simulator. However,
for design a development scenario field,
observations on reservoir model especially
the sensitivity of permeability and aquifer
volume is necessary. From this analysis,
we can determine the point or potential
areas to be developed through multiple
scenarios. Then we can find economy
parameters were correlated strongly on
production wells to facilitate the
preparation POD in the future.
