“…Special consideration for obtaining nativestate and oriented cores should be emphasized as should methodologies for selecting core sites, handling and analysis methodologies for cores, and distribution and fingerprinting methodologies for fluids. Fluid sampling considerations might further include avoidance of H2S absorption and special techniques for accurate sampling of condensates (Pande et al, 1993). Further development of slimhole drilling techniques may be helpful in pursuing these ends.…”

Summary Data acquisition design and implementation challenges for mature reservoirs which are targets for Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) applications are discussed in this paper. Examples are provided for Shallow Shelf Carbonate (SSC) reservoirs in the Permian Basin of West Texas. What Are Mature reservoirs? Mature reservoirs are defined as properties with additional recovery potential by implementation of advanced reservoir characterization tools and techniques, reservoir management and/or changes in recovery mechanisms. Attributes of mature reservoirs are depicted in Figure 1, which shows the importance of reservoir characterization as a function of field development stage. Reservoir characterization and an understanding of heterogeneity become more important for maturing reservoirs as these factors have a profound impact on future reservoir development and management strategies. Mature reservoirs are typically characterized by some type of secondary drive mechanism. A change to a tertiary mode or implementation of other lOR methods may be necessary to extend the economic limit and productive life of the field. A team approach is also important to achieve data acquisition objectives in mature reservoirs. However, the data acquisition situation may be very different from that "new" reservoirs. The desire and need for IOR may be critical as the economic limit may be rapidly approaching and data required for IOR may not be available. Smaller reservoir size and lower remaining reserves may present economic constraints towards the acquisition of essential data for the implementation of many IOR methods. The lack of production, fluid properties and other data in the earlier stages of field development may present uncertainties in history matching with numerical simulation methods. This results in unreliable reservoir performance forecasts for IOR. Often, the implementation of data acquisition programs in mature reservoirs present opportunities to enhance near-term reservoir performance through effective reservoIr management. Data acquisition strategies for properties which are being considered for abandonment are not addressed in this paper. Redevelopment of these properties is often required to exploit behind pipe potential and undeveloped zones or horizons. INTRODUCTION - DATA ACQUISITION METHODOLOGY The data acquisition process for mature reservoirs can be segmented into two major areas:
