Ahead of Print Abstract
seal analyses. Four infill well opportunities targeting 500 – 600 Bcf (14 – 17 Bm3) of unswept gas were identified. Additionally, historical infill well locations (pre-production) were re-evaluated and shown to not be viable in the context of the current production data. The examples highlight the complexity in constraining the drainage area of wells and how a holistic approach using multidisciplinary datasets and cutting-edge modelling software capability is vital for effective evaluations. A key outcome is the ability to make more informed decisions through a better understanding of risks, uncertainties, and remaining gas volumes. The fit-for-purpose methodology derived from this work will be replicated in other producing oil and gas fields and incorporated into future prospect evaluations.
