44 Kazakhstan has the power to become the regional centre of excellence for wireline logging and to establish a pioneering position in in-well monitoring. Access to advanced data would enable the industry to gain a much deeper insight into reservoir properties and behaviour before and during production. Kazakhstan Upstream oil & gas technology and R&D roadmap
1.3 Well logging and in-well monitoring Challenge commentary In a number of fields in Kazakhstan, it has been observed that high porosity zones are unable to sustain flow, while low porosity zones produce readily. Chinarevskoe and Kashagan exhibit this behaviour. The reason for this, of course, relates to permeability differences. nature of the reservoirs and the sour conditions often lead to sub-optimal results. Under the circumstances, the acquisition of the sort of data needed to obtain permeability information (using more advanced magnetic resonance tools, wireline formation testers and formation sampling tools) represents a significant challenge. VALUE 1.3.1 1.3.2 45 The problem is that there is no fundamental relationship that links porosity and permeability. And while porosity information can be derived from standard wireline logging data, permeability can only be calculated from direct measurements of flows and pressure differentials. Well logging in Kazakhstan is typically undertaken by specialist international service companies, a situation reproduced the world over. However, the nature of the field operations in fractured formations in Kazakhstan, the high-pressure, high-temperature In-well (continuous, real-time) monitoring, typically using distributed temperature or acoustic sensors and downhole pressure gauges, is a natural extension of wireline logging, but is in its early stages. The challenge lies in selecting the most suitable wells in which to apply the technology and then tailoring the monitoring hardware to the chosen application. In-well monitoring has much to offer in Kazakhstan in terms of improving operators’ understanding of reservoir behaviour but there is a lot of work to be done before the industry is in a position to exploit it on a routine basis.
