1 Quantifying Commingled Oil Production from Eagle Ford and Buda Reservoirs in a South Texas Horizontal Well Using Oil Fingerprinting Technology David K. Baskin, Alan S. Kornacki, and Mark A. McCaffrey Presented by Daniel Boyde daniel.boyde@weatherfordlabs.com For contact information, please visit our website:
2 Premise: Naturally occurring geochemical differences can be used to distinguish oils (or gases) from discrete reservoirs. These geochemical differences can serve as natural tracers for the contribution of each zone to comingled production in a single well Or Contribution of each reservoir to commingled production from a group of reservoirs.

7 N C Geochemical Allocation
8 Oils in separate reservoirs with the same source will not have been generated at precisely the same maturity or from precisely the same facies. As a piece of source rock matures, the oil it generates continually changes, imparting differences to oils in separate compartments. Which interval (source facies) is generating also changes through time. Compartments differ in size and location, they will have slightly different filling histories. Inter-compartment differences in post-migration processes (water washing, biodegradation, fractional evaporation, etc.) create unique compositions. Two oils can be 99% similar, and still have 50 compositional differences, and each one of those differences can serve as a natural tracer for that oil

17 Buda end-member Modeling Mixing of Oil Produced from Eagle Ford and Buda Reservoirs: Burns Ranch A-4H Well Eagle Ford end-members Duplicate GC analysis analytical precision
18 Assuming the Burns Ranch A-7H oil sample is an end-member oil in the Eagle Ford reservoir and the Pals 9 oil sample is an end-member oil in the Buda reservoir, the Eagle Ford oil sample produced from the Burns Ranch A-4H well actually contains ~11.5% Buda oil.
19 No contribution from Buda end-member Buda end-member Modeling Mixing of Oil Produced from Eagle Ford and Buda Reservoirs: Pan C 1H Well Eagle Ford end-members
20 Observations and Conclusions Oil fingerprinting differentiates oils produced from Austin, Eagle Ford, and Buda reservoirs into distinct groups. Statistical analysis of GC data obtained on a suite of oils produced from a shale reservoir can identify oil samples whose composition represent the oil retained by that reservoir. Fingerprinting can identify oil samples that contain oil produced from a different reservoir than the shale reservoir in which a horizontal well was drilled and completed. Incremental vs. cumulative HC charge models probably explain why the oil a source rock expels into a conventional reservoir is slightly different than the oil retained by that source rock.
21 Recommendations Implement sampling programs to regularly collect high-quality oil samples produced from nearby horizontal wells completed in the Eagle Ford Formation, and in adjacent reservoirs. Apply fingerprinting technology using high-resolution GC data obtained on the oil samples. Use HCA method to identify oil groups, and to identify end-member oil samples within each group. Use allocation software to determine if the least-similar oil samples within a group are mixtures of end-member oils from different groups.
