Abstract

Abstract The objective of this case study is to show the value of the NMR real-time log data, acquired while drilling, for reservoir characterization as a lithology independent porosity logging solution and most important for permeability computation. The applied methods are being discussed with much focus on the added value of the transverse relaxation time T2 spectrum analysis in a highly heterogeneous, upper Jurassic carbonate reservoir, to characterize the pore size distribution while geosteering the wellbore to track the better quality pore systems and generate a real-time permeability profile, supporting the later advanced completion run for the first time, in this offshore field. The current field development plans are based on drilling multi-lateral horizontal and highly deviated wellbores along the layers of Reservoir-D to enhance the injection and production efficiency. Running radioactive-based porosity logging tools with such complicated well trajectories poses a high operational risks and collide with environmental regulations, this paper presents a case where nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a source-less porosity logging device, run with the conventional resistivity-gamma ray logging while drilling combination achieved effective real-time formation evaluation and supported efficient well placement to maximize the reservoir contact. The NMR formation evaluation supported the design of the following Inflow Control Device (ICD) well completion operation for water injection, in a timely effective process, later validated with production logging data. The application is focused on maximizing the value of the real-time LWD (NMR) data for the time-critical (ICD) design and deployment in the highly deviated/ horizontal drains drilled, offshore Abu Dhabi.
