Requirements<br />
c) an interpreted <strong>and</strong> annotated log crosssection<br />
or representative well log(s)<br />
showing the<br />
i) stratigraphic interpretation of the<br />
zone(s) of interest,<br />
Comments<br />
Your application will have fewer processing<br />
delays if you provide a clear picture of your<br />
geological interpretation, including the<br />
potential <strong>for</strong> further pool development.<br />
ii) interpretation of the fluid interfaces<br />
present,<br />
iii) completions <strong>and</strong> treatments to the<br />
wellbore(s), with dates,<br />
iv) cumulative production,<br />
v) finished drilling date <strong>and</strong> kelly<br />
bushing (KB) elevation, <strong>and</strong><br />
vi) scale of the log readings, <strong>and</strong><br />
d) a tabulation of your interpreted net pay,<br />
porosity, <strong>and</strong> water saturation <strong>for</strong> each<br />
well in the pool, along with the cutoffs,<br />
methodology, <strong>for</strong>mulas, <strong>and</strong> constants<br />
used.<br />
2) Your evaluation of the oil <strong>and</strong> gas reserves<br />
<strong>for</strong> the pool, including<br />
a) an estimate of the initial oil volume <strong>and</strong><br />
gas volume in place,<br />
b) an estimate of the oil <strong>and</strong> gas recovery<br />
factors,<br />
c) a description of the methods used in<br />
determining (a) <strong>and</strong> (b) above (e.g.,<br />
material balance, volumetric analysis,<br />
model study, a comparison of analog<br />
pools), <strong>and</strong><br />
If there are sufficient pressure, production,<br />
<strong>and</strong> PVT data, a material balance evaluation<br />
should be done <strong>and</strong> compared to the<br />
volumetric results.<br />
Failure to provide the calculation methods<br />
<strong>and</strong> supporting data will delay processing of<br />
your application.<br />
It is not necessary to provide production plots<br />
<strong>for</strong> the wells, except to illustrate a particular<br />
point or issue (e.g., decline analysis, specific<br />
well per<strong>for</strong>mance issues).<br />
d) the supporting data used in determining<br />
(a) <strong>and</strong> (b) above <strong>and</strong> the sources of the<br />
data (e.g., pressure/volume/temperature<br />
[PVT] properties <strong>and</strong> source, pressure<br />
data <strong>and</strong> source).<br />
