Abstract
The object of this work was Muri Field, which is located in
eastern part of Venezuela. The expectations for this field were
high at the beginning of the study. Firstly, the high oil quality
of 30 °API; secondly, this field is located near another one
under enhanced oil recovery processes with high production
rate; and finally, the field has been inactive since 1.994.
This paper presents the use and results of a detailed
Reservoir Characterization Model in the evaluation of
opportunities for the drilling of new production wells.
Applying conventional petroleum engineering methods,
numerical simulation, and teamwork carried out the study.
Muri Field had a structural model generated from a 2D
seismic interpretation. This model presented high simplicity
and little coherence with the actual well information; being
necessary to update it. This reservoir study considers a new
structural model, based on a 3D seismic interpretation with a
structural frame fitting actual data allowing optimizing the
exploitation plans. The use of numerical simulation allowed
strengthening the conventional reservoir engineering analyses
and enhancing the production expectations for the area. The
results are based on teamwork and the application of the
available technology.
This new engineering study enabled to better evaluate the
vertical communication in the field as well as the unification
of four different reservoirs; all of them located in the
geological formation with higher potential. As a consequence
the official field limits were extended, and a lateral
communication was established with a large producing field in
north of Monagas State. The most relevant results were a two
(2) fold increase in recoverable reserves and the evaluation of
new exploitation scenarios. The locations of new producer
wells were defined taking into account the new boundary area
between Muri and the surrounding fields, to improve the final
recovery.
Introduction
Muri Field is located in Maturin, Monagas State, Venezuela,
Figure 1. It is part of the Oriental Basin of Venezuela
(Subbasin of Maturín) and was discovered in 1991 with the
perforation of MRC-1E well. Light oil reserves were proved in
four different reservoirs of the Naricual Superior Formation at
Muri Field1.
The neighbors fields to Muri Field have supported along
two decades a high percentage of the national production with
high expectations associated to the reservoirs in the Naricual
Formation. Nevertheless, Muri Field was closed from 1994 by
the low productivity of the reservoirs in the Naricual
Formation and few expectations associated to the geologic
model, 1991.
The location of Muri Field with respect to the best
producing zones of the North of Monagas was a key point to
begin the review of the current reservoirs model.
A reservoir characterization based on the right use of the
hardware and previous studies maked possible to generate low
costs products with the participation of engineers, geologists
and geophysical, among others, in a multidisciplinary team
Based on teamwork concept and the vision of assets
reactivation, which has not been used in this field until now
was generated a work plan that allows to begin of a reservoir
characterization study in Muri Field.
2 SPE 107825
Background
The previous limits established for Muri Field is shown in
Figure 2. First of all, the limits were based on the structural
interpretation of El Carito-Mulata Fields, 1991. Muri Field is
limited at the West and South by El Carito-Mulata Fields, East
by El Furrial Field and North a proven area limit was
established at -17300 ft tvdss.
An initial revision of the available geologic model for
Muri Field shows weaknesses associated to the lack of an
update process of the models with the recent well history
information.
The previous structural model (1991) of Muri Field was
based on 2D seismic interpretation of the area and did not
reproduce the static and dynamic recent information obtained
from the wells. Muri Field was interpreted as an anticline,
where the MRC-1E well was located at the crest of the
structure. The obtained results from the initial production tests
and the complete production history of MRC-1E well were not
encouraging enough to provide the necessary technical
arguments to support the perforation of other wells at the field.
The stratigraphic model was based on the lithostratigraphic
correlation. The petrophysical model had little correlation
between the petrofacies and lithofacies. And there was not a
satisfactory fluid model that could explain the areal and
vertical fluid distribution of the reservoir.
At this point, Muri Field did not have a conventional
geologic or dynamic model representative for reserve
estimations or the generation of an exploitation plan.
Available resources
In 1998, a 3D seismic was acquired for El Furrial Field, this
information was use to generate the El Furrial reservoirs
model V9, 20022. To carry out this study was considered
information from mainly El Furrial Field, but also from El
Corozo, El Carito-Mulata and Muri Fields. The reservoirs
study V9 is based on high performance teamwork developed
on a reservoir integrated study (Figure 3). The Muri Field
analysis was completed covered during the V9 model
generation; as a result a new static and dynamic interpretation
was obtained. However, the main objective of V9 model was
not Muri Field, because of this Muri’s information was not
analyzed in detailed.
The main objective on this work is to improve the
characterization for Muri Field from the V9 interpretation and
considering all the wells data to know the feasibility to
reactive operations at Muri Field.
Next is explained model by model the Muri information
considered at the V9 models.
Structural model
The structural interpretation is based on 3D seismic
acquired in 1998 with an extension of 370 Km2. From this
seismic, a new “Full Field” model was established for Muri,
El Furrial, El Corozo, and El Carito-Mulata Fields2.
The structural styles of Muri Field area were defined by
compressive stress regime. The compressive stress regime is
associated to reverse faults located at West and South of field.
The fault orientations are N10°E and N70°E, respectively. The
faults throw from 700 to 1000 ft. Additionally, several high
angle-dip faults with throw from 50 to 100 ft are located at the
central part of the field. The reverse faults put Naricual
Superior Formation in front of the shales of Carapita
Formation; which is a lateral seal to West and South of the
field. The structural interpretation took into account
production data as well as pressure information of the new
wells.
In this vision of Muri Field, the structure represents a
synclinal where MRC-1E is located at the flank of the
structure. Additionally a new well (MUC-39) that in the
previous model was interpreted out of the Muri Field now
forms part of the Muri Field. This allowed us to identify new
opportunities towards the South and Southeastern of MRC-1E
well (Figure 4).
Stratigraphic model
The stratigraphic model was generated based on the
chronostratigraphic analysis of sequences of third and fourth
order (Figure 5). Stratigraphic picks or maximum flooding
surfaces and flooding surfaces bound the sequences. These
picks are concentrated in Early-Middle Miocene and they
extend from M3 (top reservoir) to M8-4 pick. The
stratigraphic architecture is represented by 24 isochronous
defined from the stratigraphic analysis in well logs of Muri
Field, and cores data from El Furrial Field3. Between these
shale occurrences, 24 sand sequences are identified, which
have thicknesses that oscillate between 5 and 180 ft.
Petrophysical Model
The petrophysical model is based on the extrapolation of
the information of El Furrial Field. This model contains Muri
Field wells data (2 wells) and data from 13692 ft of cores, logs
the 164 wells of El Furrial Field4. This model contemplates 5
rock types in function to pore throat sizes. Four rock types are
permeable (mega porous, macro porous, meso porous and
micro porous) and one sealing (nano porous). The petrophysic
characterization according to the rock types allows knowing
the distribution and quality the rock in the reservoirs, capacity
of storage and flow of the producer sandstone.
Fluid Model
The proposed fluid model for Muri Field comes from the
combination of the fluid distribution model of El Furrial Field
(which also has a tar mat associated), extrapolated to this
SPE 107825
field5. The fluid distribution, pressure and production data
found by the MRC-1E and MUC-39 wells were also integrated
to the resulting Muri’s fluid model (Figure 6).
Geocellular Model
The geocellular model took as input the new structural
model based on 3D seismic, the stratigraphic model based on
chronostratigraphic criteria, and also considers the space
variation of petrophysic parameters and the new fluid
distribution model. The modeling geocellular combines
advanced geostatistic algorithms and represents the
heterogeneity of reservoirs with horizontal and vertical
resolution of 100 and 50 meters, respectively. The product of
the geocelular model is a scaled geologic grid used to generate
the numerical simulation model6.
Simulation model
For the total extension of El Furrial Field, the simulation
model V9 is structured with 491237 active cells, its
dimensions are 176 x 112 cells and 47 vertical layers that
consider the Naricual Superior, Naricual Inferior and The
Jabillos Formations7. Muri Field is represented for 2% of
active cells, approximately of the total model.
This model considers the area corresponding to Muri Field
in the Naricual Superior Formation and it contains information
about MRC-1E and MUC-39 wells and it is capable of
reproducing the right production and pressure behavior of
Muri Field (Figure 7).
An advantage for the reservoir study of Muri Field is to
have a numerical simulation model, which should allow to
support quantitatively the development strategies.
Evaluation of Communication in the Naricual
Superior Reservoir
Pressure analysis
Considering the structural and estratigraphic interpretation
of Muri Field was visualized the lateral continuity of the
Naricual Formation between MUC-39 and MRC-1E wells
(Figure 8). The pressure record of MUC-39 shows continuity
between the sands located in the Naricual Superior section,
with evidence of the drainage effect of MRC-1E well (Figure
9).
Figure 10 shows the pressure behavior in MRC-1E and
MUC-39 wells for the Naricual Superior reservoir. Since 1996
the reservoir pressure has experimented maintenance due to
the recovery processes applied on the North Flank of the
MUC-2 and NAR S FUC1 reservoirs of El Carito-Mulata and
El Furrial Fields, respectively.
Between El Carito-Mulata and Muri Fields at the level of
the Naricual Superior Formation is interpreted an inverse fault
with 1000 ft of throw approximately, which locates the
Carapita Formation of the Mulata Field in front the Naricual
3
Superior Formation of Muri Field. Under such conditions is
not visualized lateral communication at the level of the
Naricual Superior Formation between the Muri and Mulata
Fields. This structural interpretation is validated by the
pressure and production behavior of MUC-39 well, Figure 11.
The structural model allows interpreting the lateral
communication between Muri and El Furrial Fields,
specifically in the Naricual Superior Formation, Figure 12.
The water flooding in the North Flank of El Furrial Field
influence the pressure maintenance observed in MUC-39 well.
The reservoir pressure of MUC-39 well (Naricual Superior
Formation) is close to the average pressure of NAR S FUC 1
reservoir of El Furrial Field, supporting the structural
interpretation earlier described.
Geochemical analysis
From previous studies involving the El Carito-Mulata and
El Furrial Fields8 to identify differences in the C5 to C10
fraction as a tool to define reservoirs limits, was prepared a
star diagrams correlation. The main idea of these analyses
was to define lateral communication between Muri and El
Carito-Mulata and El Furrial Fields.
It is important to emphasize that El Carito-Mulata and El
Furrial Fields are submitted under secondary recovery
processes by water injection. It is been demonstrated 9 that the
molar percentage of a compound inside the C1 to C15 fraction
can increase or diminish when the oil is in contact with water.
Taking this in consideration, in the geochemical analyses was
evaluated the relationship of compounds not soluble in water,
in order to observe oil composition alterations after
implemented the water flooding in the El Carito-Mulata and El
Furrial Fields.
A group of wells from every field were selected and
compared with MUC-39 well applying similarity analysis with
compound relations in star diagrams. The visualization of
those diagrams allows interpreting the geologic processes that
can be acting in the reservoir, such as division or lateral
communication across not sealant faults.
Three typical star diagrams can be observed (Figure 13),
the first correspondent to El Carito-Mulata Fields, and the
second one to El Furrial Field and the third one to Muri Field.
Clearly, it is observed the differences between the first and
third stars diagrams. From the differences between the oil
composition of El Carito-Mulata and Muri Fields is
interpreted that does not exist lateral communication between
them. However, the second star diagrams present a good
similarity with the third one, at level of Naricual Superior.
From this analysis is visualized lateral communication in the
NAR S FUC 1 reservoir between Muri and El Furrial Fields.
Muri Field V9 Fluid Model Review
The fluids distribution analysis of Muri Field is based on
production tests and fluids analysis from the MRC-1E and
4 SPE 107825
MUC-39 wells, as well as the information obtained from
fluids distribution model of El Furrial Field. The quality of the
fluids is defined in the PVT analysis of the MRC-1E well9,
whose internal consistency and representiveness were
validated. From this information it is estimated the presence of
black oil 31º API in Naricual Superior.
In the fluids distribution model of El Furrial Field was
established an area of extra heavy oil named “TAR MAT”,
which is interpreted in other wells. This immobile surface of
crude can be extrapolated towards Muri Field according to the
production tests done at the MRC-1E well at the Naricual
Inferior level, presenting a configuration shown in Figure 6.
However, the “TAR MAT” interpretation in MRC-1E well is
based on an unreliable production test and is not supported by
any analysis of cores or pressures tests.
The MUC-39 well is visualized as an abnormal pressure
zone which coincides with the maximum flooding surface
characterized as a stratigraphy seal between Naricual Superior
and Naricual Inferior flow units, which justifies the pressure
behavior at this depth (Figure 9). However, the anomalous
pressure behavior logged in the MUC-39 well of Naricual
Superior Reservoir associated with the (extra heavy) immobile
oil should not be underestimated. This pressure behavior has
been seen in some of El Furrial Field’s wells where the
presence of “TAR MAT” has been verified. Based on this
hypothesis a new estimation of OOIP and reserves is needed
by taking into account the changed on fluid model of Muri
Field (Figure 14).
Reservoir Limits and Original Oil in Place (OOIP)
estimations
The vertical and lateral limits of Muri Field reservoirs are
closely associated to the structural setting, based on a new
interpretation of the two 3D seismic cubes, migrated posstack
in time and depth. In such conditions and adding the
production tests done on the MRC-1E well were established
the limits for Muri Field.
The estimation of the OOIP was based on an area defined
for the boundaries showed in Figure 15, also was mapped the
net pay for the evaluated reservoir, where the restrictions of
the news structural and fluids models were considered.
Based on the reservoir’s characterization study an increase
over 200 % of OOIP and recoverable reserves was obtained
compared with the 1991 model.
Opportunities Visualization
Considering the Muri Field new model a big opportunity to
increase production arises by drilling several locations
(producers and water injectors) within the proven area of NAR
S FUC 1 reservoir. Previous to analyze those wells at the
simulation model a detailed estimation of their production and
injection rates was done. Then, several production scenarios
were realized to obtain the optimal exploitation scenario. The
general procedure and results of the rates estimation and
exploitation plan scenario are shown next.
Production and Injection Rates
For the visualization of the possible production scenarios,
the production and injection rates were evaluated using Nodal
Analysis to determine possible variation ranges according to
the reservoir characteristics.
Production, injection and pressure information of MUC-39
and MRC-1E wells supported the production and injection
rates estimation of the wells.
The evaluation reference case was generated with
formation damage, effective permeability and open intervals
according to well data and the sensitivity of the
production/injection potential with respect to those
parameters.
Figure 16 shows the production potential histogram, as
result of random and continuo matrix sensibility evaluation of
the parameters: formation damage, effective permeability and
open intervals. This indicates the most probable production
potential value is 4276 STBD (P50), with minimal production
of 2000 STBD (P10).
Figure 17 shows the injection rate histogram, as result of
random and continuo matrix sensibility evaluation of the
parameters: formation damage, effective permeability, drilled
intervals and injection pressure measured at the well head. The
evaluation indicated the most probable value of the injection
rate is 7700 STBD (P50), with minimum injection of 2200
STBD (P10).
Production Scenarios
The strategy consisted in evaluating natural flow scenarios
and the possible implementation of secondary recovery
process using water flooding.
For the evaluation of the production increasing associated
with the development scenarios, the currents conditions of the
wells was used as a starting point, a scenario that allowed
defining a reference case.
I SCENARIO: It considers the drilling of two new
drainage points, keeping the conditions of the existing
producing wells.
II SCENARIO: It considers the drilling of four news
producing wells and two injections wells. The water flooding
was considered due to the existence of available plants and
installations for water flooding. Also was considered the
maintaining a replacement factor as close as possible to one
hundred percent.
SPE 107825
Results
Several scenarios for secondary recovery by water
injection were evaluated. The preliminary results show that
injection rate of 7500 STBD (P50 Qiny) produce an increasing
in the reserves to be recovered, minimizing the water irruption
in the oil zone and keeping reservoirs pressure levels in
optimal values.
The production opportunities of the NAR S FUC 1
reservoir of Muri Field were evaluated, comparing the
secondary recovery process with production under natural
flow. Figure 18. shows an increase in production associated
with each scenario, compared the earlier described scenarios
with the current production behavior of reservoir (reference
case)
The secondary recovery scenario (II scenario) allows an
increase of 400 % of recoverable reserves oil with respect to
the reference case. It supports the drilling of four producing
wells, keeping the reservoir pressure higher than 6300 Lpc to
prevent problems associated with asphaltene flocculation
typical in North Monagas Reservoirs.
Evaluation plan
Considering the premise of preserving good reservoir
conditions and extending its productive life, it is necessary the
application of strategies which lets quantify how productive
they could be. These strategies supports the evaluation plan
visualized in the NAR S FUC 1 reservoir of Muri Field, before
the application of any development plan.
The evaluation plan of Muri Field considers the
perforation of two locations as development wells in the
proven area of the NAR S FUC 1 reservoir.
The main objective of these locations is to drain the
reserves of the NAR S FUC 1 reservoir, they are oriented to
data capture in the area in order to improve the reservoir
characterization and validate the static and dynamic models.
After the evaluation plan concludes the new information
will be used to update the reservoir model and verify the OOIP
estimated and the exploitation plan by water flooding. This
strategy will minimize the uncertain associated to the reservoir
models and to improve the strategies for the evaluation of new
exploitation scenarios.
Preliminary results
Since the reservoir study was initiate the evaluation plan in
the NAR S FUC 1 reservoir of Muri Field. One of the
locations has been perforated with satisfactory results; the
production and pressure behavior is close to the MUC-39 well
information. The evaluation plan continues in the next planned
location, it will incorporate core information and special
analyses for review and adjustment of the estratigraphic,
sedimentological, petrophysical, fluid and rock-fluid models.

Conclusions
There is lateral continuity of the Naricual Formation
between MUC-39 and MRC1E wells in the NAR S FUC
1 reservoir of Muri Field.
Base on estratigraphic, structural and pressure analysis, it
is evident the lateral communication of the sedimentary
units between Muri and El Furrial Fields.
Base on estratigraphic, structural and pressure analysis, it
is evident the lateral isolation of the sedimentary units
between Muri and El Carito-Mulata Fields.
The work done for Muri Field helped to reactivate a
reservoir, which has been shut till now, with possibilities
of improving the development plans.
An increment of 200% in OOIP opens the opportunity to
increase the production and reserves at Muri Field.
