SUMMARY
BANYU URIP FIELD

Introduction :
The Banyu Urip Field is known as the crown of the Cepu Block Onshore in East Java,
Indonesia. It is firstly operated by Humpuss Patragas is 1990, but since 2000 it is delevelop by
Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) along with Pertamina Exploration and Production Cepu
(PEPC) and also 4 others Regional Own Enterprises on April, 20131. The Banyu Urip Field consist
40 wells with capital of about 100 Million USD. In general, there were three types of wells drilled
in the Bayu Urip Field, which are carbonate producer, gas injector and water injector.
Geological Aspect :
Geologic models provide the best tool to estimate field volumes, to visualize the geology of
the field and its flow units, and to provide input to dynamic simulation accurately. For The Banyu
Urip Field itself is an Oligo-Miocene carbonate platform which was deposited in a high energy
and open margin environment (Figure 1). Early attempts that has been done was characterizing the
reservoir based on carbonate textural classifications failed to subdivide the core properties, such
as porosity and permeability, into statistically meaningful divisions. Due to the challenges of
building effective reservoir rocks types for Banyu Urip, early geologic models for the field were
based on statistical correlation of porosity across the field.
Geologic interpretation and concepts used to describe the distribution of properties in the
geologic model. Large-scale spatial and sequence straigraphic variations are classified as reservoir
quality zones. The four principle reservoir quality zones in The Banyu Urip Field model are
Drowning Phase or Retrograding Phase, and Aggrading Phase that consist Platform Interior,
Lower Platform Interior, and Tight Rind. The Tight Rind reservoir quality zone is at the edge of
the Banyu Urip platform and was confirmed by a well that found mostly tight carbonate rocks
(Figure 2). The upper section of the carbonate build is referred to as the Drowning Phase and has
also been penetrated by a well, which discovered lower porosity rocks. The Drowning Phase
reservoir quality zone is interpreted as a transgressive unit above a flooding surface. The Platform
Interior reservoir quality zone has the best reservoir quality, is the main reservoir section, and is
located in the center of the carbonate build-up.2

 The aggrading phase contains the following lithofacies :
1. Coral Boundstone/Coral Rudstone: includes massive coral framestone and branching coral
framestone
2. Patchy Cemented (rich/poor) Skeletal Packstone
3. Coral Floatstone – Coral Rudstone: coral rich facies with packstone–grainstone matrix.
4. Skeletal Packstone–Grainstone
5. Skeletal Wackestone–Packstone.
6. Echinoid Wackestone–Packstone.
Beside, the lithofacies in the retrograding phase consist of :
1. Platy Coral bafflestone: consists of platy coral and delicate finger corals. It is interpreted
as slightly deeper water environment compared to the massive and branching coral
framestone.
2. Rhodolith Floatstone: high energy environment.
3. Platy red algae floatstone: thin-platy red algae-rich facies.
The stratigraphic and diagenetic complexities inherent in carbonate reservoirs require accurate
reservoir descriptions and models to optimize the production recovery. Facies, diagenesis, and
distribution of the related reservoir properties are key to characterize the reservoirs. The lithofacies
analysis is based on 2000 feet of core from 5 wells3
Geophysical Aspect :
The Banyu Urip field was discovered contains gas and oil in two reservoir systems. The main
Oligo-Miocene carbonate reservoir is overlain by a Middle-Miocene clastic reservoir, both of
which contain oil with an overlying gas cap. The field is relatively shallow with a gas-oil contact
at a depth of 1243 m and an oil-water contact at 1529 m. The Banyu Urip Field used 3-D Seismic
Survey and the survey covered 1,213 square kilometers and was one of the largest land seismic
surveys carried out to-date in Indonesia.4
Resistivity log data (deep, shallow, and micro resistivity) from Banyu Urip wells show strong
mud filtrate invasion within the carbonate reservoir section in comparison with the overlying
clastic section. While invasion effects on density logs is well known, our quantitative data analysis
shows that the fluid invasion effect on sonic logs is strong enough to impact the quality of Banyu
Urip well-seismic ties5. seismic responses in carbonate rocks usually are poorly understood.
Development of a carbonate rock physics model is extremely difficult because carbonate rocks
generally have more complex pore systems than do clastic rocks. While clastic rocks have mainly
intergranular pores, carbonate rocks can have a variety of pore types such as moldic, vuggy,
interparticle, and intraparticle. The effect of mud-filtrate invasion on the density log is well-known.
However, its effect on sonic logs is difficult to quantify because the invasion profile is influenced
by many factors, including porosity, permeability, pore structure, fluid properties, and, not least,
the pressure difference between the borehole mud and the formation pore fluid.

 For data collection, rock physics model requires a number of input parameters, such as fluid
bulk modulus, fluid density, matrix solid bulk modulus, shear modulus and density, porosity, and
pore aspect ratios. While pore aspect ratios can be determined by trial- and-error, other parameters
can be physically calculated using various well data. For example, fluid bulk modulus and density
can be calculated from water salinity, oil gravity, GOR, specific gas gravity, and water saturation.6
Shale volume is a very important parameter for rock physics modeling, but it calculation might be
tricky. Typically, it is estimated from the gamma-ray log but this method can have problems when
applied to carbonate rocks due to presence of organic matter content. Spectral gamma-ray tools
may be used to separate high associated gamma ray readings from the effects of clay minerals.
But these tools are rarely run due to cost savings. An alternative is to derive the shale volume from
a neutron-density crossplot. Even though this method is better than the method using the gamma
ray log, it is strongly affected by the presence of hydrocarbons. One way to mitigate these
problems is to simply average the shale volume curves derived from using these two methods.
The averaged shale volume curve is further set to zero in the carbonate section given that there
is no clay in penetrated Oligo-Miocene carbonates in Banyu Urip Field (Figure 3). Track 5 of
Figure 3 compares shale volume curves estimated from the gamma-ray log (blue), neutron-density
crossplot (red), and from averaging between these two with some additional editing (green).
The water saturation curve (red curve in track 2 of Figure 4) was obtained by standard
formation evaluation analysis, while the shale volume curve (blue curve in track 2 of Figure 4) and
the mineralogy curves (red, magenta and green curves in track 3 of Figure 4) were derived in the
manner previously described,. Typically, porosity is calculated from the density log. However, the
density log in Banyu Urip is affected by the severe borehole washout, at 1800 m depth indicated
by the caliper log (red curve in track1). In this particular case, the only choice is to calculate
porosity from the deep resistivity log, which is less affected by borehole conditions. Track 3 of
Figure 4 compares the sonic log (in red) calculated using the rock physics model from resistivity-
derived porosity with the measured sonic log (in blue). The match between the two is reasonably
good in the deep section, even though calculated sonic log values are somewhat faster than
measured values due to the presence of hydrocarbons in this section. The good overall match
confirms that the measured sonic log has reasonably good quality in the deep section and there is
no need for further editing. However, a bad sonic log interval is clearly present in the shallow
section just below 800 meters. Measured transit time values are almost 340 us/ft, which give a
P-wave velocity much lower than that in mud. Sonic values in this bad interval were replaced by
those from the calculated log. In the shallow section above 825 meters, there is no choice but to
use the calculated P-wave log since there is no measured P-wave log available. The final edited
P-wave log (red) is shown in track 4.

Petroleum Aspect :
By January 24, 2016 at least more than 70 km of hole have been drilled. EMCL had two rigs
operating on three well pads consisting of Well pad A, B, and C. There are three kinds of wells
drilled consisting carbonate producer, water injector and gas injector wells with five holes sections
starting from 24”, 17-1/2” 17-1/2”, 12-1/4”, 8-1/2”, and 6-1/8”. The drilling took 750 days ahead
of schedule and saved more than $100 million USD with a key factor such as: Experienced team
focused on National Development; Adequate planning time; Dedicated Drilling Quality team and
Relentless pursuit of optimizations using ExxonMobil’s Limiter Redesign Process.
Objective is clear, which was to“ achieve the highest degree of operational efficiency and
flawless execution” while ensuring “key objectives including safety, environment, relationships
with local community, well integrity, and producibility objectives”
Banyu Urip Development Drilling Campaign planning instantly started after the Appraisal
Drilling Program completion in 2008. Later team prepared blueprint with OIMS (Operations
Integrity Management System) and ExxonMobil’s Limiter Redesign Process. OIMS is system as
commitment of ExxonMobil to conduct business manner that is matched with the environmental
and economic needs of the communities in which they operate, and that protects the safety, security
and health of any people involved. While Limiter Redesign Process is ExxonMobil’s continuously
technical process that is meant to improve their operation before, during, and even after the
operation by the using lessons learned. A successful implement that in Banyu Urip Development
Campaign is the Fast Drill Process that reduced upper holes sections drilling time by 45%.
Drilling by sequence allows confirmation of formation tops and grouping wells based well
total depth or target in well pads. It also optimized the frequency of handling of bottom hole
assemblies and drill pipes while also saving cost & time by recycle waste fluids. In mudcap
drilling, the drilling fluid are pumped down both on drill pipe and the annulus and no fluids brought
to the surface. The mudcap drilling required during unsuccessful job of DOB2C and inability to
make extra record in loss zone. The challenges related to mudcap drilling are when drilling the 8-
1/2” hole section due to gas bearing Serravallian Sand and Carbonate formations. A well control
risk where gas enters the wellbore with higher formation pressure compared to mud pressure.
Continuously injecting mud through annulus is a priority, giving an amazing result where no issues
on the 7 wells where it was performed and saving time significantly.
Banyu Urip Oil field is a result of 2001 discovery of approximately 450 MMBOE. Reservoir
itself is high relief Oligocene-Miocene Carbonate isolated platform at East Java Basin extend
across southern part of Cepu block at approximately at 4000 ft TDVSS. Carbonate platform lies
under 3000ft with good reservoir quality of 939 ft thick oil column. The clastic reservoir mainly
consists of gas overlying carbonate. Platform made up by 150 ft thick repeatedly cycles of shallow
water carbonate that has been exposed by fresh water repeatedly and leached to create great quality
of reservoir rocks. Average reservoir porosity of 26% and 100 mD of permeability consists with
1.6% H2S and 45% CO2. Oil itself has 32 °API and 90 °F pour point.
Starting Producing in 2008, with early production of 20,000 BOPD capacity of Early
Production Facilities (EPF). Later EPF is replaced by start-up of in late 2015 Central Processing
Facilities (CPF) that can handle 185,000 BOPD and having safely exceeded Plan of Development
rate of 165,000 BOPD. Soon after effort to increase production capacity to 200,000 BOPD are
taken. In CPF, crude, gas, and water are separated from three well pads. Crude is stabilized and
treated to export by 20”- 95 km pipeline to Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) vessel. While
some of gas are used to fueled the CPF and rest are injected into reservoir. Water are treated and
also re-injected to reservoir for pressure maintenance.
By 2017, 46 wells have been drilled through carbonate and clastic reservoirs with subsurface
data from open-hole logs, cased-hole logs, image logs and cores. Dynamic data consisting of
reservoir pressure, production data, hydrocarbon contacts, and inflow are used to support
production and predict performance activities. Based on well test data and most indicate high
productivity index are strongly indicating enhancement of field recovery by 60% from POD.
Several test consisting process simulation development and field test are conducted to improve
production from actual operating condition at 185,000 BOPD to 220,000 BOPD target. While
some improvements for bottleneck mitigations are cooling improvement and pipeline system
pressure reduction.
