• G-7/2 sands shown quartz grain overgrow, that gives grain-grain cementing.
• Shale content is highlighted in yellow, showing significant amount (> 30%) of non-quartz
material
Reservoir Characterization
• Grain Size
Sieving results showed that G-7/2 sands have a mean grain size (D50) in a range
between 140 to 310 microns
Reservoir Characterization
• Continuous Grain Size Model
Mean grain size (D50) from sieve Continuous mean grain size validated
analysis
D50 = [140 – 310] microns New D50 range = [70 - 330] microns
This range was used to design the gravel Continuous model was calibrated PSD data
packs for G-7/2 wells from wells GF-5X, 7X, 14X and 180.

72% of wells in G-7/2 are completed with GP and 62% of these GPs are active.
14% of wells in G-7/2 are completed with Frac&Pack and are all inactive.
14% of wells in G-7/2 are completed without sand control method, and 34% are active.
