Improved Reservoir Understanding in Mariner Field through Integrated
Interpretation of Inflow and Inter-well Tracer Data


Inflow and Inter-well tracer technology have been extensively used in Mariner field for diverse production and reservoir monitoring objectives. This project presents several case studies to illustrate the value of tracer data during the early field production. An integrated inflow and inter-well tracer interpretation approach is applied to achieve high-resolution reservoir information. Additionally, comparison between the tracer results and other available data is discussed.
The Mariner field, located on the UK continental shelf, is a complex heavy oil development characterised by 2 shallow reservoirs: Maureen and Heimdal with the oil viscosity ranging from 50-500 cp at reservoir condition. Premature water breakthrough followed by rapid water cut increase, uncertainty in distribution and connectivity of sands, as well as uncertainty in aquifer support and communication between injectors and producers are some of the challenges requiring better understanding and management through data acquisition.
This paper presents the following three cases and will describe the role of tracer data in developing better understanding about the well and reservoir performance:
* Case 1: Delineating the main flow paths in the reservoir.
* Case 2: Optimisation of an acid stimulation strategy
* Case 3: Developing a Selective Inflow Performance (SIP) curve during a Multi-Rate Test (MRT)
