摘要

The Ekofisk Field is a large oil reservoir located in thernNorwegian sector of the North Sea. About 8.2 meters ofrnseafloor subsidence has occurred above this thick, highrnporosity chalk reservoir since production started in 1971. Thernseafloor subsidence is a result of reservoir compaction in thernchalk, driven primarily by pressure depletion early in the fieldrnlife and water weakening at later stages.rnReservoir compaction monitoring via radioactive markerrnbullets has established a clear association between compactionrnand changes in water saturation and reservoir pressure. Theserndata have also confirmed the mechanical behavior of the chalkrnobserved during laboratory tests. The compaction of highrnporosity chalk is a result of both net effective stress increasesrnlinked to pore pressure depletion and water weakeningrninduced by water injection. Field compaction data from arncompaction monitoring well located in the crestal part of thernfield also suggest a vertical compaction to subsidence ratio ofrn1.20 to 1.25.rnOwing to compaction-related issues, many wells have beenrnredrilled over the life time of the field. The new wells havernyielded new data, such as porosity, water saturation, and layerrnpressure, spanning the entire field production period. Theserndata, however, have been affected by compaction and,rnconsequently, have introduced biases when used as hard datarnto build a geological description of the reservoir. A porosityrnloss of as much as 10 p.u., for example, can be predicted forrnhigh porosity, crestal chalk which has undergone a totalrnreservoir compaction approaching 40 feet over a 30-yearrnproduction life.rnMore than 200 wells have been drilled since 1971 atrnEkofisk, with only 42 of them being considered representativernof the initial geological state of the field. In order to utilize therndata from all 200-plus wells, a software program wasrndeveloped to handle the complex decompaction and forwardrncompaction logic needed to correct the well logs forrncompaction effects. Using the decompaction and forwardrncompaction capabilities of the developed software, data fromrnall 200-plus wells were used to evaluate the total reservoirrncompaction volume and shape. This was, in-turn, compared torn4D seismic-based compaction results as well as compactionrnresults from geomechanical simulations.rnThe developed software and evaluations have made itrnpossible to now build a geological model of the Ekofiskrnreservoir using data from the 200-plus wells drilled on thernfield, each representing the initial state of the reservoir prior tornproduction in 1971. Ultimately, this is expected to improve thernflow simulations of the reservoir leading to better estimates ofrnproduction and reserves.
