Purpose of ProspectEvaluation
• Government– Integral part of resource assessment– Basis for nomination of contract areas– Basis for contractor’s work commitment– Basis for evaluation of applications
• Oil company– Integral part of resource assessment– Basis for investment decision
3
Methodology
• Volumetric Evaluation–Seismic Interpretation–Mapping–Gross rock volume determination–Volume of liquid/gas at surface
• Economic Evaluation–Discounted cash flow analysis
4
The volumetric equationSTOIIP = GRV * Net/Gross Ratio * Porosity * oil
saturation * (1/Bo)GIIP = GRV * Net/Gross Ratio * Porosity * gas
saturation * (1/Bg)
Recoverable oil= STOIIP * Recovery Factor for oilRecoverable gas= GIIP * Recovery Factor for gas

HCPV
• Hydrocarbon Pore Volume
HCPV = GRV * Net/Gross Ratio * Porosity * HC saturation
6
Finding the Volume
• Interpretation and mapping–Seismic–Digitizing and mapping–Depth Conversion
• Geometric description–Vertical closure–Spillpoint realtions–Trap fill–Uncertainties

The maps
A bottom surface map is not required, when:- the reservoir thickness > vertical closure- the reservoir thickness is constant

Reservoir Parameters 1
• Gross thickness (from mapping)• Net pay• Porosity• Permeability• HC satuartion
15
Reservoir Parametrs 2
• Formation volume factor oil (Bo)• Formation volume factor gas (Bg)• Gas deviation factor (Z)
16
Recovery Factor
• Oil– Dependant on depletion mechanism
• Natural depletion– 5-15%
• Effective water drive– 15-30%
• Pressure maintenence methods– Up to 65%
• Gas– Up to 80-85%
