The Use of Permanent Down-Hole Pressure Gauges in Managing Uncertainty in the Belida Field

Sugiman, Imanudin, Fathul Rachman

Abstract

The permanent down-hole pressure gauges with surface readout capability used in the Belida field are believed to be the first installation in Indonesia. Eighteen permanent down-hole gauges (PDHG) were installed in strategically located Belida wells to allow proactive optimization of reservoir management. During the early period of the field development, when there were frequent field/wells shut-in, the gauges collected pressure buildup data, which was used in confirming many aspects of the original development plan. This paper will describe how the permanent down-hole gauges can be used to manage some critical uncertainties such as aquifer support, reservoir continuity and well operating guidelines in the Belida field.
