Abstract

The Miocene carbonate buildup and fine-grained clastic sequence become the main reservoir and sealing intervals in the East Natuna Basin. In this geological context, the reservoir characterization of Terumbu and Arang formation was conducted using an integrated methodology that includes petrophysical interpretation, followed by sensitivity analysis, structure depth mapping, and model-based seismic inversion. Well-log analysis reveals distinct lithological contrasts among the two formations. The Terumbu carbonates exhibit very low gamma-ray values (18 24 API) and high porosity ranging by 28 37%, locally reaching 31% in the GANG-4 well. Pronounced neutron density crossovers indicate gas-bearing intervals, particularly at depths of 6,808 6,831 ft and 6,908 6,941 ft in the GADO-3 well, where deep resistivity values increase significantly (852 1958 Ω·m). In contrast, the Arang Formation is characterized by high gamma-ray values (102 148 API), elevated clay volume (30 44%), and substantially lower porosity (<10%). P-impedance density cross-plots show carbonate clusters inside of impedance values of 4,500 10,000 g/cc·m/s and density ranges of 1.7 2.35 g/cc,  whereas shale and shaly sand plot at higher impedance (9000 17,500 g/cc·m/s) and density (2.45 2.80 g/cc). Depth structure mapping identifies a central northern structural high that favors reef development and fault-controlled trapping. Model-based seismic inversion reveals low to medium impedance values (4100 6156 g/cc·m/s), low density (1.57 1.77 g/cc), and high inverted porosity (0.37 0.52, locally up to 0.70) Inside the top Terumbu interval, indicating very good quality of reservoir rock is confirmed by these outcomes. Conversely, the underlying Arang interval becomes tighter and denser by a continued increase in impedance ( by porosity values <11%) and poor reservoir potential.

Abstract

The Balikpapan Formation in the Lower Kutai Basin hosts a complex assemblage of fluvial-to-deltaic reservoir facies whose heterogeneity significantly influences reservoir quality and connectivity. This study integrates well-log interpretation, electrofacies classification, and quantitative petrophysical evaluation from six wells to assess the stratigraphic controls governing reservoir distribution. Three main facies associations are identified: channelised sandstones, mouth-bar to delta-front, and prodelta. Proximal channel sands exhibit the highest porosity (18–30%) and permeability (5–40 mD), but their limited lateral continuity results in poor interwell connectivity. Mouth-bar and delta-front sands display moderate porosity (12–25%) and permeability (<1–30 mD) and form laterally extensive, sheet-like bodies that enhance reservoir connectivity under increasing tidal influence. Thick prodelta mudstones act as regionally extensive vertical seals. The stratigraphic framework is characterised by repeated upward-coarsening parasequences bounded by marine flooding surfaces, reflecting alternating phases of delta progradation and transgression. These results demonstrate that depositional processes and stratigraphic architecture are the primary controls on reservoir heterogeneity in the Lower Kutai Basin.

Abstract

This study develops an integrated system dynamics and probabilistic Monte Carlo simulation framework to evaluate Indonesia’s Petroleum Buffer Reserve (PBR) strategy in alignment with Perpres 96/2024 and the nation’s broader energy security agenda. Monte Carlo simulation results reveal that only the scenario characterized by full import availability is capable of achieving the mandated 10.17-million-barrel reserve target, while all other scenarios consistently fail to accumulate sufficient stock under uncertainty. The probabilistic analysis further shows that this scenario yields a probability exceeding 98% of meeting or surpassing the target, in contrast to the near-zero success rates observed under restricted import conditions. Days-of-cover optimization highlights an additional strategic vulnerability: the current PBR target corresponds to only about 12 days of crude import protection. Building on the system’s dynamic behavior, this study recommends a minimum reserve target of 30 days as an immediately achievable benchmark. A 60-day reserve is identified as a feasible medium-term objective, provided that replenishment rates and storage capacity are enhanced. Achieving a 90-day reserve, consistent with international strategic stockpiling standards, would require substantial investment and diversification of supply sources. These findings underscore Indonesia’s structural dependence on imported crude oil and emphasize the need for assertive replenishment policies to strengthen national energy resilience

Abstract

Shear-wave velocity (Vs) is an essential metric for subsurface characterization and CO₂ storage evaluation. However, Vs measurements are frequently unavailable in mature fields due to limited data acquisition. This research employs a machine-learning approach utilizing a Fully Connected Neural Network (FCNN) to predict Vs and Vp/Vs logs at a potential CO₂ injection site within a heterogeneous carbonate reservoir. Seismic elastic properties, particularly Acoustic Impedance (AI) and Vp/Vs, play a crucial role in assessing reservoir capacity by linking elastic responses to petrophysical properties such as porosity and water saturation. Conventional approaches, including the Castagna empirical relationship and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), are commonly used for Vs estimation. Nevertheless, these methods often inadequately account for fluid-related effects. To address this limitation, this study examines two predictive approaches: (1) indirect Vp/Vs derived from predicted Vs, and (2) direct prediction of Vp/Vs prediction using a FCNN model. The findings indicate that direct Vp/Vs prediction demonstrate stronger correlation with observed data (R = 0.8023) and improved sensitivity to lithological and fluid variations compared to traditional methods. These findings underscore the advantage of directly predicting fluid-sensitive elastic properties through machine learning, providing a more reliable framework for reservoir characterization and CO₂ storage assessment in data-constrained carbonate formations.

Abstract

The PT JM Field is capable of producing approximately 133 MMSCFD of gas and 5,600 BCPD of condensate with fluid behavior characterized by retrograde condensation such as mercury-bearing gas systems. These conditions show the importance of filtration in ensuring safe and reliable downstream operations. However, an operational issue was identified in 2024 in the form of an unusually high differential pressure which reached 30 psid across the Condensate Mercury Pre-Filter. The condition was a reflection of partial blockage at the filter outlet and led to a reduction in the system performance. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the root cause through the laboratory analysis of sludge collected during pipeline pigging between the PG and the KCR Gas Plants. The results showed that the GEOPIC sample consisted of 12.03 wt.% solid and 21.52 wt.% liquid fractions while the BIDI2 had 5.70 wt.% and 42.86 wt.% respectively. Elemental analysis also confirmed the presence of C, H, N, S, and Na while FTIR spectroscopy showed characteristic C=N, N–H, and S=O functional groups which were the reflection of a strong similarity to imidazolinamide-based corrosion inhibitors. Ionic analysis further detected Cl⁻, PO₄³⁻, and NH₄⁺ ions in the pigging fluid which were commonly associated with the corrosion inhibitors applied in the system. The results led to the implementation of several mitigation measures such as filter replacement, pipeline pigging optimization, and equipment inspection during the Turnaround (TAR). These actions successfully mitigated sludge accumulation and restored normal filtration performance.

Abstract

In the pursuit of net zero-emission targets, restrictions on new oil and gas field discoveries have intensifies the need for enhanced reservoir characterization of secondary resources in mature fields, such as thin-bed reservoirs. However, imaging thin-bed remains challenging due to the limited vertical resolution of conventional seismic data. Advanced methodologies are therefore required to accurately delineate thin-bed sandstone reservoirs and improve reservoir prediction reliability. This study integrates seismic frequency attributes and stochastic seismic inversion to enhance vertical resolution and characterize thin-bed reservoirs within the Montara Formation, Browse Basin. The workflow begins with tuning thickness analysis to identify thin-bed responses, followed by the construction of reflectivity volumes for intercept-based amplitude variation with frequency (AVF-A) analysis and seismic inversion. The results indicate that thin-bed sandstone reservoirs were predominantly deposited during the syn-rift phase and exhibit a Northeast (NE)–Southwest (SW) orientation. These reservoirs are distributed in the eastern well area of the SW region and the western well area of the NE region, with thicknesses of up to 140 m. Probabilistic inversion results indicate reservoir probabilities exceeding 50% within the target zones. These findings demonstrate that integrating seismic frequency attributes with stochastic seismic inversion provides a robust framework for thin-bed bed delineation and reservoir prediction under sub-tuning conditions.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of natural frac sand (SiO₂) from the Sihapas Formation as a proppant for hydraulic fracturing in unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in Riau Province, Indonesia. Quantitative–qualitative evaluation in hydraulic fracturing systems is conducted to assess the performance of quartz grains (SiO₂) in enhancing and maintaining fluid flow conductivity under the influence of stress, formation blockage, and chemical interactions. Sieve distribution analysis was performed to determine particle size distribution, crush resistance testing was conducted to evaluate mechanical strength, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize mineral composition. The correlative relationships among parameters were further analyzed using Pearson and Spearman statistical methods, with API RP 56 (frac sand) and API 19C (proppant) standards serving as benchmarks. The results showed that the 40/70 mesh fraction dominates across samples, though roundness values fall below specification thresholds while sphericity remains within acceptable ranges. Grain hardness testing at 5000 psi showed relatively high destruction rates, while mineralogical analysis confirmed a consistently high SiO₂ composition (≥98%) with secondary clay minerals. Elevated turbidity and alkaline pH values were also observed. Statistical analysis showed strong correlations among parameters, reflecting the influence of geological transport processes on grain morphology and mineral decomposition due to diagenetic processes. In general, these findings showed that natural frac sand samples do not fully meet API standards, highlighting the need for innovation and direct well testing to enhance material quality for hydraulic fracturing applications.

Abstract

DLN-11 well was temporarily shut-in due to excessive water production, which became the main issue causing a decline in daily oil production. Therefore, this study conducted an integrated analysis to determine the cause of excessive water production, so that appropriate mitigation measures could be implemented, as well as to formulate a well reactivation strategy aimed at optimizing oil production. The methodology in this study was carried out in an integrated manner through technical and economic evaluations. The technical analysis began with the application of the Chan diagnostic plot as an initial mitigation step, followed by the evaluation of data logging, core analysis data, and production data as advanced mitigation steps to obtain appropriate solutions for addressing production-related issues. In addition, an economic analysis was conducted as a basis for decision-making within a risk management framework. Based on the results of the integrated analysis between the Chan diagnostic plot method and cement evaluation data from Cement Bond Log (CBL), Variable Density Log (VDL) dan Ultra Sonic Imaging Tool (USIT), the high water cut in DLN-11 well, as a reactivation candidate, was caused by water channeling due to the presence of free pipe conditions, where the cement did not properly isolate the annulus between the casing and the formation. To overcome this issue, remedial cementing was carried out to improve the quality of cement bonding. Furthermore, based on the evaluation results of the C/O Log, DLN-11 well still owns five potential oil-bearing zones that can be produced. The reactivation strategy was implemented by opening the interval of 7927-7942 ftMD, resulting in a production rate of 549 BOPD with a water cut of 82%. The economic analysis results indicate that DLN-11 well yields an NPV of 1,256,000 US$, an IRR of 247.5%, and a Pay Out Time (POT) of 3 months and 16 days. Therefore, from both technical and economic perspectives, the implemented reactivation strategy for DLN-11 well has proven to increase oil production and generate positive economic indicators.

Abstract

In geothermal well drilling, a primary challenge is clay swelling, particularly in reactive clay formations, where drilling success is largely determined by the type of drilling fluid used. Although gel polymer mud is commonly preferred, adding KCl polymer is often necessary to mitigate swelling in such formations. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of KCl polymer mud in mitigating clay reactivity in the 26-inch borehole section of X well in a geothermal field. The methodology began with the methylene blue test to assess clay reactivity, followed by the formulation of gel polymer and various concentrations of KCl polymer muds. A linear swell meter test was subsequently conducted to compare the swelling reduction performance of each mud type. The methylene blue test results indicated a smectite content of 60 meq/100 g, confirming the presence of reactive clay in the 26-inch borehole. LSM test results showed that the Gel Polymer mud exhibited 25.78% swelling over 11 hours, indicating it was ineffective for such formations. In contrast, the 7% KCl Polymer mud significantly reduced swelling to 16.38% over 8 hours. This improvement is attributed to the substitution of Na⁺ ions with K⁺ ions, which neutralizes negative charges on clay surfaces and reduces the clay's water-holding capacity. The findings confirm that KCl Polymer mud is more effective in minimizing clay swelling in reactive geothermal formations.

Abstract

This study develops a simulation-based techno-economic framework for designing an onshore gas trunkline system to accommodate production from newly developed wells in the X and Y Fields. The system transports 35 MMSCFD of untreated natural gas containing approximately 60 mol% CO₂ and 70 ppm H₂S, where high acid gas content and declining wellhead pressure impose constraints on pressure delivery, flow velocity, material selection, and lifecycle cost. Steady-state hydraulic simulations were performed using UniSim R490 to evaluate early- and mid-life production scenarios based on pressure drop and erosional velocity ratio (EVR) in accordance with API RP 14E. Comparative analysis of candidate pipeline diameters shows that a 12-inch trunkline maintains a minimum delivery pressure of 50 psig while keeping EVR below unity, thereby satisfying hydraulic and mechanical integrity requirements without excessive recompression. The integration of an onshore booster compressor mitigates reservoir pressure decline and sustains gas transport to the central processing facility. Material selection analysis identifies duplex stainless steel and SS 316 as technically viable options for CO₂-H₂S service under controlled operating conditions. Techno-economic evaluation indicates that the selected configuration minimizes total lifecycle cost relative to alternative designs, with estimated CAPEX of USD 228.43 million and annual OPEX of USD 142.19 million. The results demonstrate that integrated hydraulic optimization, sour-service material selection, and economic assessment provide a robust and economically optimized design approach for onshore sour gas pipeline systems.
