FRACTURED GRANITE RESERVOIR CHARACTERISTICS IN EASTERN EDGE OF CUU LONG BASIN, OFFSHORE VIETNAM


Speaker Biography 


Dr. Tran Nhu Huy graduated with BSc. in Geology from HCMC University of Technology, MSc. in Petroleum Engineering from Norwegian Technology and Science University and he completed his Ph.D. program in Petroleum Engineering at the HCMC University of Technology.

In the early 1990s, he worked as mud-logger, wellsite geologist for Geo-services Eastern Inc. in South East Asia. Since 2001, he has been working for exploration team of PVEP in various projects, especially projects in Cuu Long Basin, offshore Vietnam.

Currently he is Exploration & Drilling Deputy Director of PVEPPOC, a subsidiary of PVEP in Domestic E&P projects.


Topic’s Abstract

Following the first oil discovery (1987) in fractured granite reservoir in Cuu Long Basin (CLB), offshore Vietnam, more and more oil was discovered and produced from fractured granite reservoir in CLB, which contribute around 65-75% production of Vietnam. However, most of these are distributed in the central areas of the basin. Recent exploration and production results in the eastern flank of CLB revealed hydrocarbon potential not only in the clastic reservoirs but also from the fractured granite reservoir. Besides the general characters of fractured granite reservoir such as very low porosity compared to clastic, oil contained and flowed from fractures zones, etc. there are several distinctive characteristics of the fractured granite basement reservoir in the faulted margin area of a rift basin. Throughout the case study in the eastern edge area of CLB, this paper discusses these unique characteristics: low relief, porosity distribution, early water breakthrough...in comparison with the basement in central area of the Basin. The lessons learnt for optimum well design in FGR in the eastern flank of CLB are also discussed: indications to detect fractured zones for determine subsurface targets, well total depth (TD) criteria and useful data to correctly identify top of basement for isolation with above clastic formation, which support accurate casing shoe depth for proper testing and production in the margin area of rift basin.
