December Luncheon - Bob Aylsworth - RevoChem

In this study, we present a workflow of integrating geochemistry-based reservoir characterization and drainage data, other diagnostic data such as pressure and tracer, along with production data to enable data-driven decision making on infill development and completion design in Delaware Basin. Infill wells are commonly adversely affected by reservoir depletion from surrounding wells. Through analysis of drainage behavior and well interactions of parent and child wells in two landing zones, field development and completion design can be customized for different existing well scenarios. Combining petrophysical with geochemistry-based reservoir characterization and production allocation data also allows for the identification of additional landing zones for maximized reservoir utilization.

Cuttings were collected for the project area over ~2,400’ TVD interval and produced oils were collected from 66 wells. One specific area of infill development was monitored for ~1 year and has 7 existing wells, 3 landed in Formation C1 (Fr C1), 4 in…
