Abstract

In recent days, waterflooding activities carried out as a part of secondary recovery. Before performing waterflooding, engineers have to perform reservoir simulation first to predict reservoir performance in order to waterflood. Generally, reservoir simulation is conducted by using numerical simulation method. Numerical simulation gives precise results although it depens on the availiability, quality, and quantity of reservoir characteristic and injection operation data. In addition, numerical simulation also time-consuming and quite complex to use. Proxy model is kind of machine learning. It’s able to predict performance of waterflooding quickly and easier to use. The result isn’t differ too much with numerical simulation method. Proxy model is an equation model that construct form quite many experiment data. This research is trying to predict performance of normal 5 spot waterflooding in reservoir with channeling deltaic sand sedimentation by using proxy model. The proxy model will be tested on a real field case. The results indicate that proxy model is able, faster, reliable and easy to use to predict waterflooding performance in such type of reservoir.

Abstract

This study introduces a techno-economic approach to optimizing storage fees for CCS integrated with oil and gas development. The analysis adopts the production sharing contract cost recovery model in accordance with the implementation of Ministerial Regulation of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 16 of 2024, which addresses CCS-related parameters. Technical assessment confirms the studied reservoir’s suitability for long-term CO₂ injection through 5 injection wells, while oil and gas development are supported by 10 oil wells and 8 gas wells. The project’s economic viability under baseline conditions shows an IRR of 10.14% and POT of 15.73 years. Sensitivity analysis across fiscal parameters, such as investment credit, FTP, contractor split, CCS service fee and storage fee, CAPEX, royalty, and tax, identifies the storage fee as the most influential factor for viability. To achieve a commercially viable IRR of 15%, the project requires a minimum CCS service fee of 55 US$/MT and a storage fee of at least 35 US$/MT. The study underscores the need for clear regulations on fiscal incentives, CO₂ pricing, storage fees, and PSC integration to enhance CCS economic viability, while also offering a replicable framework for CO₂ assessments under dynamic fiscal regimes.

Abstract

Electrofacies clustering is fundamental to reservoir characterization but is often hindered by the subjectivity and inefficiency of conventional manual interpretation, particularly in heterogeneous fields. This study presents a robust, data-driven workflow for automating electrofacies identification using unsupervised machine learning, applied to Gamma Ray (GR) logs from 66 wells across 16 reservoir intervals in the NVS Field, Central Sumatra Basin. The methodology systematically evaluates the impact of feature representation by comparing Statistical, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) extraction techniques coupled with K-Means, BIRCH, and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering algorithms. Performance assessment using Silhouette scores and the Davies-Bouldin Index demonstrates that LSTM-based features consistently yield superior clustering results by capturing critical sequential log-shape dependencies essential for resolving vertical heterogeneity. While algorithmic efficacy was found to be context-dependent—with GMM favoring transitional facies and K-Means excelling in high-contrast zones—the integration of the optimal models successfully reconstructed geological patterns without prior labeling. External validation against reference facies maps confirmed that the unsupervised clusters exhibit strong spatial coherence, accurately delineating the Northwest-Southeast (NW-SE) depositional trend of Tidal Bar Axis and Margin zones. Furthermore, the model demonstrated high geological sensitivity by successfully identifying localized features such as Isolated Sand Bars. These findings verify the geological plausibility of the proposed workflow and underscore the necessity of sequence-aware feature extraction, offering a reproducible and objective framework for reservoir modeling in data-limited environments.

Abstract

The application of machine learning and artificial intelligence is popular nowadays to improve data analytics in the oil and gas industry. A huge amount of data can be processed to gain insights about the subsurface conditions, even reducing time for manual review or interpretation. There are three cases to be discussed in this study that starts from porosity estimation of thin core image using Otsu's thresholding, estimation of oil production rate from sucker-rod pumping wells and sonic travel-time log generation. Two supervised learning algorithms are applied, XGBoost and Keras. These algorithms will capture all possible correlations between the input and output data. From data normalization, exploratory data analysis and model building, the workflow is built on Google Colab. The original dataset is split into training and testing. Tuning hyperparameters such as the number of hidden layers, neurons, activation function, optimizers and learning rates are captured to reduce the complexity of the model. The model is evaluated by error values and the coefficient of determination to estimate the model skill on unseen data.

Abstract

The optimization of infill well placement and the reliable prediction of Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) continue to represent critical challenges in low-permeability reservoir. Conventional permeability evaluation using Pressure Build-Up tests is often impractical due to prolonged shut-in requirements and operational constraints. Although geospatial tools such as Antelope Map effectively identify fracable zones associated with high initial production rates, sustained long-term recovery is not necessarily guaranteed. This study proposes an integrated static–dynamic framework that combines geospatial attributes with production-based analysis to improve reservoirs characterization and well placement decisions. In-situ permeability and flow capacity, expressed as √khXf, are extracted directly from routine production data of 14 hydraulically fractured wells using the Inverted Decline Curve method, thereby bypassing the limitations of pressure transient analysis. The Stretched Exponential Production Decline model is subsequently applied to generate bounded and realistic EUR predictions. Pearson correlation analysis shows a weak relationship between permeability derived from static logs and EUR. In contrast, the production-derived √khXf the parameter shows the strongest positive correlation, reflecting effective flow capacity and the influence of matrix heterogeneities such as trace fossils. By comparing the √kh distribution with the static Antelope Map, this dual-criteria approach helps identify sweet spots that support both favourable fracability and more sustained fluid delivery. In general, this data-driven workflow provides a practical alternative framework to reduce geological uncertainty and optimize well placement in low-quality reservoirs.

Abstract

The increasing concentration  of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is significantly contributing to the critical exploration of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. Although deep saline aquifers offer substantial storage potential for CO2, their effective capacity is often constrained by rapid formation pressure buildup near injector wells and poses safety risks. Therefore, this study aims to propose an integrated strategy to optimize CO₂ storage capacity using pressure redistribution method in a thick carbonate saline aquifer located in Natuna D-Alpha Field, Indonesia. A dynamic numerical simulation is developed by integrating 2D seismic, well logs, core analysis (RCAL/SCAL), and geomechanical parameters derived from log data. The effectiveness of lateral and vertical pressure redistribution is evaluated through brine production wells (PWs) and multi-depth injection, respectively, followed by perforation configuration optimization.Various scenarios are simulated to compare total gas injected and reservoir pressure response against rock fracture limits. The results showed that storage capacity is limited due to the absence of pressure management (Base Case). The implementation of lateral pressure redistribution through brine production proves to be the most significant strategy, capable of increasing storage capacity by approximately 64% of the Base Case in high-rate production scenarios. Furthermore, vertical redistribution strategy using multi-depth injection obtains a 13% capacity increase and improves vertical pressure distribution. A combination of multi-depth injection and brine production shows positive synergy, generating a 44% capacity increase with a storage efficiency of 0.58%. The results also indicate that variations in well perforation geometric patterns (line vs. cross) have minimal impact compared to global pressure management strategies. In line with the analysis, this study finds that brine extraction and vertical injection management are essential to maximizing safe CO₂ storage in thick aquifers.

Abstract

Produced water is a primary operational challenge in gas fields, as it can restrict gas flow and severely reduce well productivity. Diagnosing and identifying water influx sources in directional gas wells is critical to mitigating this phenomenon and optimizing well performance. This study details a quantitative workflow evaluating water-gas production dynamics to identify key drivers of water influx, water coning and channeling. Furthermore, it determines whether the reservoir aquifer boundary has shifted. This study uses algorithms derived from classical model water-to-gas ratio diagnostic, reservoir and geological evaluations based on the transient analysis radius of investigation and predictive models to forecast cumulative gas production at breakthrough. By analyzing data from 4 wells, this study demonstrates that water-gas ratio trends and transient pressure behaviors can accurately classify fluid boundary geometries. Driven by localized reservoir heterogeneities and declining pressures, these dynamics accelerate water encroachment. This process culminates in water breakthrough, as confirmed by diagnostic log-log signatures of water channeling and water coning late channeling. The established method provides robust diagnostics for identifying produced water sources and improving predictive accuracy, directly guiding effective well management and field development strategies.

Abstract

Swabbing is a liquid unloading method used in the oil and gas industry to reduce hydrostatic pressure caused by fluid accumulation in the wellbore. In wells with dual-size tubing completions (4.5-inch and 3.5-inch), tubing diameter transitions can reduce Swab Cup sealing performance, causing fluid bypass and lowering lifting efficiency. This study develops a modified Swab Cup Carrier and swab mandrel to support continuous fluid lifting in dual-size tubing completions. An engineering design research approach was applied, including field problem identification, conceptual design, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), prototype development, tubing simulation, and functional evaluation. The proposed design incorporates a cam-guided release-and-carry mechanism that enables the Swab Cup Carrier to release at the tubing X-over during Run In Hole and reconnect during Pull Out of Hole. FEA of AISI 4130 alloy steel showed a maximum von Mises stress of 278.6 MPa, below the material yield strength of 460 MPa, indicating adequate structural safety. Prototype testing using a PVC tubing simulation verified the proposed mechanism. The design has the potential to minimise fluid bypass, maintain lifting continuity, and improve swabbing effectiveness in dual-size tubing completions. Further laboratory and field validation is required to confirm its operational performance.
