Rantau Field, located in the working area of PT. Pertamina EP, is considered as matured field. The field is located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This field started producing in primary stage in 1930, and the secondary stage had been started in 1984 by injection of water. The water source comes from sea water with a salinity of 26000-33000 ppm. Since the injection of water quality is not good, then it had been damaged the injection wells, and it would automatically have an effect on the production wells. The oil production then started to decline.Pertamina EP EOR management team tries to increase the oil production back by implement re-secondary recovery process. The work started from field screening, study G&G, production analysis, preparing facility production, and follow up with a pattern pilot water flooding, and finally full scale project. Pilot water flooding kick off at layer Z-600 conducted in January 2010, Pertamina EP implemented a pilot water flooding in layer Z-600 block of C1 and C2 and managed to increase oil production from two wells (0 BOPD to 400-500 BOPD) and the reservoir pressure (from 155 Psi to 222.5 Psi in 3-month period conducted a pilot water flooding). With the success of pilot water flooding on the blocks C1 and C2, Pertamina EP will continue to full scale water flooding phases are planned to be carried out gradually in block A1 and A2. In addition to conducting secondary recovery, Pertamina EP will also plan for tertiary recovery phase for blocks/compartments that have been carried out secondary recovery activities. The production analysis is very important role in injection design, the scope include production and injection performance analysis, connectivity between injector and producer, pattern design and surveillance and monitoring.
Kenali Asam field, Pertamina EP working area, is located in West Sumatra of Indonesia. The field was discovered by NIAM in 1929. There are 285 wells were drilled which consist of 99 producing wells, 20 injector wells, and 8 dry well wells, and the rest are suspended wells. The reservoirs are layered reservoirs from shallow to deep zone, and 16 production zones. The oil was produced from primary stage to secondary stage. The secondary stage has been started by injecting water since March 1993. The water was injected to specific layer such as B/650, F/730, N/990, and S/1170. The peak production of primary recovery was 13,643 BOPD with water cut 14.4% in September 1954. Peak production of secondary recovery was 2105 BOPD with water cut 50% in October 1994.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
