Integrated Petroleum Reservoir Geomechanics and Geophysics

Tildelt: kr 4,5 mill.

The 3-year strategic research programme has four main focus areas: (1) Characterisation of geomaterials, including fault and fractures. (2) Wellbore stability and completion (3) Reservoir Monitoring (4) Instrumentation for underwater technology. Each issu e will be prioritized and developed over the three years based on recommendations from the Advisory Group. The following research topics have already been identified for 2006: (1) 1.1: Study of faults in field analogues, laboratory tests & determination of fault properties. 1.2: Consequence of clay smear and cataclasis on fault properties. 1.3: Seismic wave propagation in fractured rocks: novel 3D modelling & application to field examples. 1.4: Triaxial testing of geomaterials for high temperature and lo w permeability shales. 1.5: Interpretation of borehole logging from laboratory testing (resistivity, permeability & acoustic measurements) and particle modelling. (2) 2.1: Hydraulic fracturing in collapsible soft materials - investigation of fluid rock i nteraction processes occurring at crack tip. 2.2: Development of hollow cylinder tests at NGI - a pilot study. (3) 3.1 Effect of reservoir production on fracture seismic properties. Time-lapse seismic in fractured reservoirs. (4) 4.1: Geotechnical / Geoh azards seabed vibrator - a pilot study. 4.2: EM pipe / cable tracker and pipeline plug detection - pilot study These topics were selected after brainstorming at NGI on the priorities for research in Oil and Gas Exploration & Production sector. Results fr om the research programme will contribute to develop cost effective solutions, and increase the competitiveness and export of Norwegian technology in the Oil and Gas Sector. In addition, the strategic programme will involve one or several doctoral candida tes. The contact and co-operation between the universities and NGI are already well established. The research will involve preparation and presentation of journal and conference papers & popular articles.
