12 Ichron Facies Model Fulmar Shallow Marine Shoreface Sands Increasing reservoir quality decreasing water depth increasing grain size 12
13 Facies Influence on Reservoir Quality Middle Shoreface - Strongly oil-stained, clean, well sorted fine grained sandstone. Bioturbation level is probably no greater than moderate. The mottled fabric reflects a combination of local cementation adjacent to bivalve shells, plus Palaeophycus burrows. 889mD and 30% 13 Proximal Lower Shoreface - Moderately to locally poorly sorted, moderately to highly bioturbated, slightly silty fine grained sandstone. Note the prominent clayreplaced bivalve shells forming a lag deposit at the base of the unit (B). 238mD and 27% Increasing reservoir quality decreasing water depth increasing grain size Distal Lower Shoreface - Moderately to well sorted, highly bioturbated, silty very fine to fine grained sandstone. Note the prominent Teichichnus zigzag burrow (T) and clay-replaced bivalve shell debris (B). 21mD and 26.2%

16 Planning development wells By using the core we have proved that the Fulmar at Clapham has variable facies and therefore reservoir quality Horizontal wells can t be guaranteed to target best reservoir. Strategy was to drill high angle wells penetrating the whole Fulmar, thus guaranteeing intersection of some of the best reservoir in each well. Modelling suggests that high borehole angles reduce skin The general objectives are: To drill and complete two oil production wells (with a sustained production capacity of at least 7500 bopd) and two water injector wells (with a capacity of 8250 bwpd) To minimise the formation damage to reduce skin effects during the drilling and completion process. To acquire a full set of logs through the reservoir to facilitate reservoir characterisation, including permeability estimate. 16
17 Geosection along an oil producer well - Reservoir Section Strategy was to drill high angle wells penetrating the whole Fulmar, thus guaranteeing intersection of some of the best reservoir in each well. Well success based on estimate of permeability-thickness, therefore quick-look facies and porosity is required A geological sidetrack was considered if the cumulative permeability estimate through the reservoir is such that it is considered unlikely that the target production rate could be sustained. 17
18 Facies Influence on Reservoir Quality Anticipated PI is based on permeability-thickness and estimated skin. These determined by reference to E&A wells Well success based on estimated permeability-thickness Permeability estimate depends on an interpretation of the facies 18
19 Estimating Permeability by Facies Facies based poro-perm transforms Using Y-on-X regression Using air permeability Permeability on the log10 scale 19
