AbstractThe El Tordillo Field is located in the San Jorge Basin, in southern Argentina, and is operated by Tecpetrol S.A.Realizing this study requires a complex, multi-disciplined approach that allows UTE El Tordillo to describe the reservoir and to develop an appropriate plan to more efficiently use manpower in operating and managing this highly complex reservoir. An essential step toward this goal is developing an integrated structural and stratigraphic model of the reservoirs in the field. These tasks comprise: creating a "living" integrated digital database for the geological, geophysical and mechanical data; making the stratigraphic correlation; identifying all seismically mappable faults and defining the structure of key horizons.Results of these analyses include the following:The Reservoirs Characterization Study produced a digital model that is an accurate and detailed 3-D structure and stratigraphic picture of the entire reservoir volume. Specifically, this model provides a consistent, field-wide, stratigraphic correlation of key horizons that were interpreted using with a high level of integration of geologic and geophysical data. The maps show the field wide distribution, structure and well test results for the 241 individual reservoir sands. Another direct benefit of this study is an enhanced understanding of the 3-dimensional distribution of reservoir units and the controls on reservoir quality. These insights will lead to a better understanding of the production compartmentalization of the reservoir and will help UTE El Tordillo optimize and prioritize development and secondary recovery projects.
