    Independent Resource Assessment identifies significant potential in the West Orphan Basin offshore Newfoundland and Labrador

    Study shows the in place oil and gas resource potential is 25.5 billion barrels of oil and 20.6 trillion cubic feet of gas.

    August 24, 2016, St. John’s, NL - The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Nalcor Energy and Beicip-Franlab announced today that the in place oil and gas resource potential is 25.5 billion barrels of oil and 20.6 trillion cubic feet of gas in the West Orphan Basin located within the area of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) 2016 Eastern Newfoundland Call for Bids.

    “The 2016 independent oil and gas resource assessment adds to our growing knowledge about our offshore oil and gas potential - leading to more exploration work by global companies and giving us assurance that we will have a thriving oil and gas industry in Newfoundland and Labrador for many years to come,” said The Honourable Dwight Ball, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. “We do recognize that exploration is down globally due to current challenges in the oil and gas industry. Still, we are cautiously optimistic about positive results of the licensing round in November 2016. We are fully expecting more exploration work by the leading oil and gas companies in the world.”

    Nalcor, with its partners TGS and PGS, have been acquiring extensive 2D seismic data (110,000 line km to date) in the underexplored slope and deep water areas of the province’s offshore. To further delineate the West Orphan Basin, a 3D seismic survey was acquired over a portion of the area in the summer of 2015 and the data from the new 3D images has provided further insight into the area’s resource potential. This is the first time a 3D survey has been conducted offshore Newfoundland and Labrador in advance of a scheduled license round. 

    “We are focused on advancing exploration activity that will scientifically assess our entire offshore. This can only be accomplished by utilizing state-of-the-art technology to acquire the highest quality data to form the greatest understanding of its potential,” said Jim Keating, Executive Vice President, Corporate Services and Offshore Development, Nalcor Energy. “The 3D seismic survey added an additional layer of insight which has played an essential role in helping us risk reduce key prospects from a 1 in 20 to a globally competitive 1 in 6 chance of success.”

    Through the integration of satellite slick data, 2D long offset seismic, 3D long offset seismic and seabed coring a new Lower Tertiary play trend has been identified in the West Orphan Basin. The discovery of this play trend is fully described in a recent Nalcor conference paper accepted for presentation at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists(SEG) International Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas this fall. This newly identified prospectivity has resulted in Beicip Franlab’s resource assessment identifying the in place resource potential of 25.5 billion barrels of oil and 20.6 trillion cubic feet of gas in this area.

    “The independent integrated geological and geophysical study carried out by Beicip-Franlab, supported by the application of leading edge modeling techniques, has been instrumental in identifying and quantifying significant prospective oil and gas resources in the West Orphan Basin” said Jean Burrus, CEO, Beicip-Franlab. “Our analysis and modeling of the 2016 area indicates favorable geological conditions for oil and gas accumulations.”
    The independent assessment is based on new data covering the nine parcels on offer in the West Orphan Basin, an area located 300 kilometres from the northeast coast of Newfoundland. The assessment covers approximately 2% (20,000 square kilometres) of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore area.

    This is province’s second scheduled license round. Future license rounds scheduled through 2020 will follow the same process with detailed resource assessments being conducted and released prior to bid closing.

    To download a copy of the resource assessment or the SEG conference paper, visit nalcorenergy.com/exploration.

    Nalcor Energy Oil and Gas is currently a working interest partner in three offshore developments: the Hebron oil field, the White Rose Growth Project and the Hibernia Southern Extension. Nalcor is also leading the exploration of the province’s frontier and deepwater basins by making investments in new geoscience data and analysis to evaluate Newfoundland and Labrador’s undiscovered oil and gas resource potential.

    Blocks on offer during the Offshore Greece Licencing Round held in 2015

    This exploration study realized as a support to the Offshore Greece Licencing Round held in 2015 on behalf of Petroleum Geo-Services was the basis for the delineation of the exploration blocks over the western Greece (Ionian Sea) to the south of Crete (Libyan Sea) offshore.

    Based on the interpretation of a 12 500 km multi-client 2D “high frequency” seismic dataset acquired by Petroleum Geo-Services over an area of 225 000 km2, this study has enabled to evaluate the petroleum systems and identify exploration play fairways in the western Greece and southern Crete offshore.

    Conducted over one of the last unexplored Mediterranean basin, this study encompasses: part of the Alpine thrust and fold belt represented by the Hellenides, the shallow water domain of the Apulian Platform and its southern extension within the Ionian Sea, the accretionary prism of Mediterranean Ridge associated to the subduction of the Africa Plate below the Hellenic Arc and remnants of Mesozoic basins with oceanic crust (Deep Ionian Basin and Herodotus Basin).

    The main steps of this study were:

    -A regional synthesis of the onshore and offshore Italian and Albanian, Adriatic and Western Greece hydrocarbons E&P results and previous offshore campaigns such as DSDP, ODP and Escarmed.

    -A structural interpretation of a complex tectonic setting involving subduction/collision and large scale wrench faulting.

    -Existing wells being too sparse to constrain lateral depositional variation, seismic reflectors configuration was used to define relevant tectonostratigraphic units and the respective contribution of their lithological content to potential reservoir rocks, source rocks and seals.

    -Inventory of the play fairways and leads from the Permian till Pliocene associated to the evaluation of the petroleum systems has led to the evaluation of the potential hydrocarbon resources and exploration risks within the western Greece Ionian Sea and southern Crete Libyan Offshore.

    The new insights brought by that study are three folds: hydrocarbon resources evaluation within the unexplored deep Mediterranean offshore, better understanding of the evolution of the sedimentary system of a deep basin and its relation with long standing shallow water platform, deepened knowledge about the Eastern Mediterranean Sea geodynamic.

    Dual Porosity, Dual Permeability Modeling of Carbonate Reservoir with Integration of Fracture Characterization

    Presented at GEO 2016, Manama, Bahrain, 7/10 March 2016

    AUTHORS (FIRST NAME, LAST NAME): Hugo Caetano1, Reza Iskandar1, Sahid Sutanto1, Elena Niculescu1, Magdy Hozayen1, Umer Farooq1, Vincent de Groen2, Solenne Roosz2, Ghislain de Joussineau2

    2. Beicip-Franlab, Paris, France.

    ABSTRACT BODY:

    Characterization of naturally fractured reservoirs is challenging due to its heterogeneous quality. An example is the complex fractured carbonate reservoir (Upper Cretaceous) in a field on-shore of Abu Dhabi. In order to control early water breakthrough problems, caused by fracture connections to aquifer and resulting in reduced oil production and bypassed oil issues, a detailed dual porosity, dual permeability (DPDP) modelling study was conducted to accurately characterize and model both matrix and fracture properties occurrence,

    Initially, the workflow involved an evaluation of Electrofacies (EF) for rock-typing definition, full integration of seismic and fracture characterization, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and diagenesis. Based on 43 wells, 11 EF have been defined (6 limestones, 3 calcitic dolomites, 1 shale, 1 dolomitized limestone) for the reservoir using DT, NPHI, RHOB and VCL logs. Poro-perm relations and capillary pressures have been defined for each EF. The seismic mapping conversion to depth insured proper horizontal wells placement in the model. Based on Impedance distributions of facies, most porous limestone (EF05), was discriminated from the rest. Therefore, a cube of predicted EF05 with attached probabilities was used in the geomodel. Sedimentological and stratigraphical analysis assisted in defining 4th order sequences between main seismic horizons comprising of depositional, erosions and onlapping, helped to control facies distribution and created an exquisite framework.

    Secondly, modeling of matrix properties with a nested approach where EF were simulated with pluri-gaussian methods provided a robust integration of seismic and diagenesis distribution. Petrophysical properties were simulated conditionally to the facies for Poro, Perm and Sw, based on the rock-types associations.

    Thirdly, the dynamically calibrated fracture model built previously, using seismic facies maps, fractures density map, rock facies and dynamic reservoir data measurements, has been used to define range of length, spacing and spatial distribution of the fracture system.

    Uncertainty analysis and upscaling was finally performed, where sensitivity analysis show a maximum 5% of variability from P50. Upscaling reduced 13M active cells to a dynamic case with 1.9M. The upscaled model will be dynamically modeled and historically matched in order to optimize location of new wells and trajectories for increased field production and delayed water breakthrough.
