Abstract
In the presented paper, the object of the study are carbonate rocks of the Riphean and clastic-carbonate rocks of Vendian-Cambrian ages, uncovered by the well drilled at Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye field.
These reservoirs are characterized by extremely low porosity (1-4%) and determining saturation nature and fluid contacts cannot be reliably solved by conventional wireline petrophysical logging. Solutions to these problems are provided by interval testing using wireline formation evaluation testing tool (WFT). However, to obtain quality results from WFT testing it is important to identify porous intervals first by using advanced wireline logging services which are sensitive to porosity and fractures.
In order to select the optimal WFT toolstring combination and to prospective testing intervals, advanced petrophysical wireline logging suit ran first. Porous reservoirs were identified from density, neutron and nuclear magnetic resonance evaluation. Saturation evaluated through dielectric and induction-based resistivity logging.
In fracture-vug type reservoir, the main inflow of formation fluid into the well is provided from fractures, so it was very important to allocate conductive fractures to plan test intervals for WFT accordingly.
based on imagers evaluation, fractures and faults were visualized; using Stoneley's wave conductive fractures, not clogged with drilling mud solids were identified; borehole acoustic reflection survey was used to segregate large fractures that propagated in the reservoir;
During WFT logging, a total of 23 intervals were tested, for 8 of which reservoir fluid inflow was achieved, in all others, mainly with low porosity or single non-conductive fracture, the inflow was not achieved or was insignificant.
According to the results of WFT testing, the nature of saturation for clastic-carbonate sediments of Vendian age was determined. Inflow of formation fluid (oil and water) from Riphean fractured reservoirs was achieved from 6 intervals, with identified fractures according to described above advanced logging suit. In addition, pressure transient analysis was performed, to measure the formation pressure, define pressure gradient curves and assess the fluids contact level with high confidence, for the first time for this field.
