Abstract
Pruet Production Co. and the Center for Sedimentary Basin Studies at the University of Alabama, in cooperation with Texas A&M University, Mississippi State University, University of Mississippi, and Wayne Stafford and Associates are undertaking a focused, comprehensive, integrated and multidisciplinary study of Upper Jurassic Smackover carbonates (Class II Reservoir), involving reservoir characterization and 3-D modeling and an integrated field demonstration project at Womack Hill Oil Field Unit, Choctaw and Clarke Counties, Alabama, Eastern Gulf Coastal Plain.
The principal objectives of the project are: increasing the productivity and profitability of the Womack Hill Field Unit, thereby extending the economic life of this Class II Reservoir and transferring effectively and in a timely manner the knowledge gained and technology developed from this project to producers who are operating other domestic fields with Class II Reservoirs.
The principal research efforts for Year 2 of the project have been reservoir characterization, which has included three (3) primary tasks: geoscientific reservoir characterization, petrophysical and engineering property characterization, and microbial characterization and recovery technology analysis, which has included 3-D geologic modeling. In the second year, the research focus has primarily been on completion of the geoscientific reservoir characterization and 3-D geologic modeling tasks. This work was scheduled for completion in Year 2.
Overall, the project work is on schedule. Geoscientific Reservoir Characterization has been completed. Petrophysical and Engineering Characterization and Microbial Characterization are essentially on schedule with minor problems with well downhole pressure testing and the acquisition of whole core material. 3-D Geologic Modeling has been completed.
