CoEES has undertaken and successfully completed many vital projects to provide criticalsupport in the exploration and development initiatives of the company’s operational areas,both domestic and overseas. The contribution of the centre has been recognized andappreciated by the corporate management.The various projects completed by CoEES in 2016-2017 have been discussed in thefollowing paragraphs.Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) & Reservoir Studies related projects

4.1 Roadmap for Setting up of EOR Laboratory:Many oilfields in Upper Assam Basin, producing from Barail and Tipam reservoirs, havebeen on production from 30 to 60 years. The production of oil from these reservoirs isdeclining with time even after execution of secondary recovery methods. In order to furtherenhance the production of oil from these oilfields, it is important to use tertiary recoverytechniques like Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). CoEES has already completed a study onidentifying dominant EOR process through reservoir screening and published CoEES noteNo-13. The study has identified that 90% of the reservoirs in Upper Assam Basin areamenable to Chemical EOR. In this regard, CoEES plans to set up a state of the art ChemicalEOR laboratory to carry out studies related to reservoir characteristics, fluid characteristicsand evaluation of suitable chemicals required for this purpose.After thoroughly analyzing the requirements of laboratory equipment for EOR, a list ofinstruments has been prepared which are available in Chemical and R&D department atFHQ, Duliajan. The gap between available and required facilities for EOR studies on core;fluid and chemical have been identified.



The following options were proposed for complete setup of EOR Laboratory at CoEES:Option 1: Set up a full-fledged EOR laboratory, by purchasing all the equipment identified asrequired, at CoEES. Immediately strengthen the manpower required for operating the EORlaboratory. The minimum requirement is of two chemists for the EOR laboratory in the firstphase.Option 2: Move all the equipment from R&D Department that are used exclusively for EOR,along with the experienced manpower to CoEES. Purchase the remaining equipment,identified as required, at CoEES and set up a full-fledged EOR laboratory at CoEESOption 3: Begin with purchasing the equipment, identified as required at CoEES but are notavailable in Chemical and R&D Departments and set them up at CoEES to fill up the gap inthe laboratory facilities required for EOR. Slowly build the remaining facilities and allowthese facilities to be phased out from Chemical and R&D Departments to avoid duplicationof resources. Increase the required manpower from chemical discipline as per therequirement.This study has identified the gap of between requirement and availabilities for a completeEOR laboratory setup in OIL and also suggests the process for establishment of thelaboratory.The outcome of the study is published as CoEES Note No.17.4.2 Compositional Simulation Study of Barail 4th Sand (KJN002 Block), Kusijanarea:The aim of the study is to characterize the Reservoir Fluid, build Geo Cellular Model, builddynamic compositional simulation model and perform prediction by choosing an optimumcombination of producers, injectors and EOR strategies using ECLIPSE compositionalsimulator (E-300). Another aim of the Compositional Simulation study is to assess thepotential of the reservoir and formulate a full scale optimal field development plan.



The compositional simulation study has been applied on 3D geological static model of Barail4th Sand (KJN002 Block), Kusijan area by integrating Geophysical, Geological, Petrophysicaland Reservoir information, using Petrel software.All events e.g. pressure, production, perforation, plug along with fluid contact and resultsfrom SCAL, PVTi were included in the static model and the model was initialized.Subsequently, history was matched for a period of 40 years using Eclipse simulator. Globalpermeability multiplier, Anisotropy ratio (Kv/Kh), Analytical aquifer strengths / directionsand Fluid contacts (GWC or GOC / FWL reservoir parameters were considered for history-matching.Initialization of the dynamic model, History Matching and Performance prediction phaseshas been completed. Currently economic analysis and final report generation is underprogress. Reservoir level history matching is completed and match is found to besatisfactory. The history matched dynamic simulation model has been used for predictingvarious scenarios for field development like Infill drilling, pressure maintenance, and EOR.This outcome of the project has helped in providing infill locations, productionoptimization of gas condensate wells and proper field development planning.This project is in final stage of report generation and outcome of the project along withinterpretations will be published in the form of a Note.4.3 Well Test Interpretation of Lassa-1 (First Zone) using Saphir Software:A mini DST survey was carried out in well Lassa-1(first zone), Gabon, during 14-17 July2013. Data for the mini DST survey was sent to CoEES for interpretation during April, 2016in order to get it interpreted in-house using Saphir software. Interpretation result of wellLassa-1 shows the permeability estimated from first build-up is 1.75 mD. The value ofpermeability is highly dependent on the flow rate, and due to lack of the production data theconfidence in the result of permeability will be low. The skin obtained from pressuretransient analysis is around 2.26. Further, a constant pressure boundary is obtained at adistance of 30.7 m.



The outcome of the study is published as CoEES Note no. 18.Petroleum System Model related projects

4.4 Updating Petroleum System Model of Upper Assam BasinUpdating of Petroleum System Model of the Upper Assam Basin has been carried out atCoEES using PetroMod software. The study area covers the shelf and Naga Thrust. Themain objective of the study is to build 3D dynamic petroleum system model of the basinincorporating Eocene project data (M/s BeicipFran lab), establishing source rock intervalsin different stratigraphic sections, determining thermal maturity of selected source rockintervals, assessment of generation and expulsion capacity of source rocks (Coal/Shale),migration pathways analysis, delineating leads in Eocene & Oligocene level in shelf areas,and correlating predicted leads with Eocene project’s prospects.Different maps like Maturity maps, transformation ratio maps and generation andexpulsion maps have been prepared for each source rock horizon. The model has alsoidentified migration pathways and possible structures where hydrocarbon accumulationcan take place. Further, the model will help in prioritizing prospects in the shelf area ofUpper Assam Basin.Geochemistry Studies

4.5 Organic petrographic study and vitrinite profile of Boreholes from OIL'soperational area, Upper Assam BasinOrganic petrology and vitrinite maturation profiles have been used widely to understandmaturity of source rocks, organic matter and calibrate thermal history of sedimentarybasins, particularly for evaluating oil and gas generation.Organic petrography analysis has been carried out on a total eighty nine (89) samplesincluding both drill cuttings and conventional cores from twenty two (22) wells of OIL’soperational areas, Upper Assam Basin. The amount of vitrinite, liptinite and inertinite



macerals in the organic matter in these samples range up to 74.9%, 10% and 13.6%respectively, implies that they are mainly composed of gas-prone Type-III kerogen.The vitrinite reflectance (VRo%) ranges between 0.20 to 0.61% for the samples included inthe study. The Barail sections in eastern part of study area and the thrust belt area havejust entered into early oil window; therefore deeper sections (below Barail) are likely to bein early oil window or more mature. Overall the maturity trend is increasing with depthtowards south, southeast and east of the study area.Organic petrology and vitrinite maturation profiles have been used widely to understandmaturity of source rocks, organic matter and calibrate thermal history of sedimentarybasins, particularly for evaluating oil and gas generation. This project will also help in shaleoil/gas exploration during pilot well selection.The outcome of the study is published as CoEES Note No.16.4.6 Source Rock Evaluation of Well Balusutippa-01, KG-ONN-2004/1, KG Block, KG

Basin

A detailed source rock evaluation study was carried out on the well Balusutippa - 01 (BST-01), KG-ONN-2004/1 block, KG Basin. The well BST-01 was drilled to 3278m MD(2925.53m TVD).Detailed geochemical analyses were carried out on three major selected stratigraphicsections Vadaparru Formation, Palakollu Formation and the Chintalapalli Shale to evaluatesource rock characteristics, maturity and depositional environment, which could help infurther exploration.A total of eighty-seven (87) shale samples were hand-picked from the drill cutting andanalyzed using Elemental Analyzer, Rock Eval and Fluorescence and ReflectanceMicroscope. Further, the selected shale samples were extracted using Soxtec apparatus and



the extracts were analyzed using Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer/MassSpectrometer (GC-MS/MS) for various biomarkers.TOC analysis results show that organic richness is decreasing with increasing depth fromVadaparru shales to Palakollu and Chintalapalli shales. Vadaparru shales are fair sourcerocks and both Palakollu shale & Chintalapalli shales are poor source rocks. Organic mattertypes are varying from Type-III to Type-IV for Vadaparru to Chintalapalli sections. TheVadaparru shales and shallow section of Palakollu shales are showing Type-III kerogen andthe organic matter was derived from land plants. Deeper section of Palakollu shales areshowing mixed Type-III/IV and the organic matter was derived from land pants with minorcontribution of planktons. Chintalapalli shales are comprised of Type-III kerogen withminor contribution from Type-IV kerogen and the organic matter was derived from landplants. Therefore, organic matter of above sedimentary sequences has mainly Type-IIIkerogen and deposited under shallow marine/costal conditions. The maturity parametersTmax, VRo and biomarkers ratios for Vadaparru, Palakollu and Chintalapalli shales showthat Vadapparru is immature and both Palakollu & Chintalapalli are in early oil window.Source rock evaluation will help in characterizing source rock quality, maturity, organicmatter and depositional environment. It also will help in delineating potential source rockinterval in geological sequences. This data will be utilized in petroleum system modeling.The outcome of the study is published as CoEES Note No.19.4.7 Organic Petrographic study of well Balusutippa-01, KG-ONN-2004/1,KG Block,

KG BasinThe organic petrography study was carried out on the well Balusutippa - 01 (BST-01), KG-ONN-2004/1 block, KG Basin. Detailed organic petrography analysis were carried out onthree major selected stratigraphic sections Vadaparru Formation, Palakollu Formation andthe Chintalapalli Shale to identify and characterize organic components, quantify andassess maturation stage of organic matter and depositional environment.



A total of twenty three (23) organically rich shale samples were selected and organicpetrographic studies including vitrinite reflectance (VRo) measurement and maceralsdistribution (vitrinite, inertinite and liptinite) were carried out using Fluoresce andReflectance Microscope. The organic matter in all the samples is dominantly representedby vitrinite with subordinate amount of inertinite and very minor amount of liptinites. Thesamples also contains pyrite in framboidal forms. Percentage of vitrinite macerals in all thesamples is ranging between 0.40 and 5.1%.The mean vitrinite reflectance (VRo) of thesamples ranges from 0.33 to 0.68%. The VRo profile shows that the Vadaparru shales is inimmature stage, while the Palakollu and Chintalapalli shales are in early mature stage.Organic matter is dominantly Type III kerogen (gas prone) and represented mainly byvitrinites and very minor contribution from Type IV kerogen. High amount of vitrinitesuggests preservation of parenchymatous and woody tissues under wet, possibly low-pHconditions within forested peatlands. Subordinate amount of inertinites indicates non-availability of oxidized woody matters in the depositional environment. Presence of highamount of framboidal pyrites indicates deposition of the organic matter along near shoreenvironment.The project has helped to understand maturity and organic matter type of source rockintervals. These data will also be used in thermal maturity calibration of petroleum systemmodeling.The outcome of the study is published as CoEES Note No.20.4.8 Reservoir Compartmentalization Studies in Chabua-Dikom-Tengakhat

Oilfields Using Oil Geochemistry

While developing an oilfield, it is very important to know whether a reservoir has differentcompartments consisting of pools of oil that are not in communication with each other orwhether the reservoir is, in part or in whole, continuous. This knowledge helps informulating a plan for field development and producing oil and gas in more efficientmanner. Oils in different compartments have subtle compositional difference that can beidentified using detailed gas chromatographic analysis of oils.



Crude oil samples from Chabua, Dikom and Tengakhat oilfields were collected andanalyzed using a Gas Chromatograph. Data obtained was processed using ChromEdgesoftware to identify the groups of peaks that can be used to determine subtle difference inoil composition. The ratios of the peaks have been plotted in a Star Diagram to visualize thedifference among different sets of oils. Geochemical interpretation of data has beencompleted. Detailed sand correlation has been prepared. Also maps showing initial andpresent day oil water contact and gas water contact for each sand are under preparation.Integration of the data with geology of the oilfields will be carried out in the next phase ofthe project.This study will help in knowing whether a reservoir has different compartments consistingof pools of oil that are not in communication with each other or whether the reservoir is, inpart or in whole, continuous. This information is useful in formulating an efficient fielddevelopment plan.4.9 Oilfield Water Studies in Upper Assam Basin

Oilfield water study has been carried out to understand the distribution of cations andanions of different formation waters using an Ion Chromatograph. During the study,concentration of cations like Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and anions like Chloride,Bromide, Nitrate and Phosphate were determined. Further, microbiological analysis ofwater is also being carried out to identify the presence of certain bacteria in them which cancause corrosion problem in tanks and tubular both at the surface and sub-surface.Formation water samples were collected from different producing zones of differentformations in OIL’s operational area of Upper Assam Basin. Samples were collected fromwell head and it is consisting of both oil and water in emulsion form, The water wasseparated from crude oil and analyzed using Ion Chromatograph for various cations andanions. A total 75 number of water samples have been analyzed till date. Some moresamples will be collected and will be analyzed to cover the whole study area. Microbiologicalstudies were also carried out on the water samples. The project will continue this year andmore water samples will be analyzed for ionic composition and bacterial population. The



data will be plotted on maps to see the variation of ionic concentrations in different parts ofthe basin and their relation to the geology of the basin.This study will be useful in identifying the direction of water flow and thus the direction ofpetroleum migration..The outcome of the project along with interpretations will be published in the form of aNote.Static Geological modelling related projects

4.10 Preparation of Static Geological Model of Heavy Oil Bearing JodhpurSandstone Reservoir of Tavriwala-Punam structure, RajasthanA collaborative project was initiated between CoEES, Guwahati and RP, Jodhpur forpreparation of a 3D geological model for Tavriwala – Punam area, Rajasthan by integratingthe available geophysical, geological, petrophysical information using Petrel softwareversion 2015. The project was taken up for preparation of a 3D geological modelpreparation of Jodhpur sandstone over the Tavriwala, Punam structure by considering threewells Tavriwala-2, Punam-1 and Panna-1 and considering three different Lowest known Oil(LKOs) over the well locations.The structural 3D grid skeleton and models were generated by interpreting faults, horizonson the 3D PSTM Seismic Volume tied up with well markers. Seismic well tie and velocitymodels were prepared for the 3D seismic grid. A vertical zonation of the model is madebased on a sequence stratigraphic approach, after establishing the well markers for withinJodhpur Sand reservoir. The input for the facies model consists of depositional facies logs(depositional facies) and rock types interpreted at wells from various types of well data.Other reservoir properties like effective porosity is distributed constrained to this faciesmodel giving each facies a specific distribution of porosity based on the existing well logdata. Water saturation is modelled using a height based function derived separately for eachrock type honoring the observed transition zone.



The generated model shall be helpful to delineate the hydrocarbon in-place volume in theTavliwala-Punam structure. The modelled properties in proposed locations shall be helpfulin showing areas for hydrocarbons prospect that need to be looked into. The model may bevalidated for dynamic simulation (Thermal EOR) for further study.Industry & Academia interface

4.11 Organic Petrography study of Shales and Coals from Upper Assam and KGBasinA collaborative research project was initiated between CoEES and Department ofGeological Sciences, Gauhati University. The objectives of this project are: 1)Characterization of organic matters of the source rock horizons of the AssamGeological Province and KG Basin, based on organic petrography, 2)Maturity profiling ofsome boreholes of the oil fields of Upper Assam and KG Basin block where OIL is operating,based on study of vitrinite reflectance, and 3) Correlation of results of organic microscopyand Rock Eval analyses. As part of the project, already vitrinite reflectance studies andmaceral identification has been completed for 18 wells from Upper Assam and 02 wellsfrom KG Block. The project has now been completed.The results will be used for calibration of the petroleum system model of Upper AssamBasin. Further, characterization of organic matter has helped in identifying oil prone sourcerocks in the basins.5.0 Significant Achievements during 2016-17
