Oil and gas occurs in basement reservoirs in many parts of the world. The reserves of basement fields are as small as one or two million barrels of oil or gas-equivalent such as the Beruk Northeast pool in Sumatra, Indonesia to over 1.0 billion barrels of oil as in Viet Nam’s Bach Ho field and Libya’s Augila-Naafora field. This paper focuses on three giant-size oil and gas fields and six major-size fields. Exploration for oil and gas in basement has been remarkably successful in the past decade with important discoveries in basement in Indonesia, United Kingdom, Norway, Chad, and Argentina. In order to successfully develop basement oil and gas fields and also to avoid costly mistakes, all available geological, geophysical, reservoir engineering and economic data must be closely studied. Also, it is very important to study analogues worldwide of basement oil and gas fields in order to understand why some fields are very successful and others turn out to be technical and economic failures.

During the past 12 years, spoolable pipe has become a widespread preference for in-field gathering and injection applications compared to welded steel and stick fibreglass pipelines. It is now broadly used in oil and gas fields throughout North America, with more than 300 end users, including every major operator. To date, more than 25,000 km of spoolable pipe has been installed in North America for more than 450 operators. Fast installation, lower costs, safer installation, immunity to corrosion and low maintenance in service are the drivers for this rapid success. The technology is well on its way to displacing steel or stick glass-fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipe as the technology of choice for lines up to nominal 6-inch in diameter. Compared to a single 8- or 10-inch line, companies are finding having multiple spoolable pipes in the same ditch to be more economical. Field results have demonstrated spoolable pipe’s immunity to corrosion and have also shown how using spoolable pipes can save 25% or more in costs when compared to overall installed costs for welded steel or stick fibreglass pipelines by significantly reducing onsite construction expense, installation time and onsite manpower requirements, including skilled welding personnel.

Basement rocks are important oil and gas reservoirs in a number of basins in the world. The basement oil and gas play has intensified in the past decade with significant basement discoveries. This paper provides a technical review of select basement oil and gas fields in Asia, Africa and the Americas. “Best practices” for exploring and developing basement fields are reviewed. Failures are also considered since basement reservoirs can be very complicated and unpredictable. Preference scale for basement reservoir rock types is presented. The opinion of this author is that the best rock types are fractured quartzites or granites since they are brittle and thus fracture optimally. Based on international experience, recommendations on the study of crystalline basement for oil and gas and the development of deposits in it are given.
