摘要

In order to obtain commercial flow rates from the Chiswick field, a low permeability gas reservoir in the UK Southern Gas Basin, it was apparent that field development needed horizontal wells with multiple, propped hydraulic fractures. While this completion strategy is commonplace in US onshore tight gas and a few North Sea chalk reservoirs, only a handful of such completions were attempted historically in the sandstone reservoirs of the North Sea. Ongoing success in chalk and in deep sandstone reservoirs onshore Germany raised expectations that, using modern practises and materials, the strategy could be successfully executed in the high cost environment of offshore UKCS. Chiswick lies in 42m of water at the UK-Netherlands median line. Gas is located in alluvial channel sand systems of Carboniferous age. The reservoir is at 3300m TVDSS with average porosity of 10% and permeability 1 mD; initial pressure and temperature are 392 bara, 115°C respectively. Results from four appraisal wells, drilled 1984 - 1999, determined that commercial rates would only be possible if development wells were horizontal and hydraulically fractured. The initial field development plan entailed two horizontal wells with 2km reservoir sections, stimulated with several massive propped fractures. The complex reservoir is highly stratified with intermixed channel sands, coal and shale. Besides reservoir uncertainties, there were operational challenges to be overcome. A major hurdle was a constrained regional market for high-specification stimulation vessels for the Chiswick development programme. A solution was found by converting a large supply-vessel into a stimulation vessel with the installation of a large capacity, land-based frac-spread. It successfully delivered fourteen frac-jobs in three wells (two are described in this paper). Target post-stimulation flow-rates were achieved in all cases. The paper discusses how a fundamental rethink of what was technically possible allowed a complex tight gas field in the North Sea, previously thought non-commercial, to be brought successfully onto production.
