Prospectivity estimation of Palchig Pilpilesi oil field
G.J. HuseinovThe paper deals with the estimation of reserves of Gala suite horizon in Palchig Pilpilesi oil field and the suggestions on their efficient usage. The prospecting and exploration was started in 1952 in Palchig Pilpilesi field, and in 1953 the well No 261 drilled to Gala suite horizon in south-east part placed on the production with the output up to 40 t/day. Currently, the field is on the last development stage. In 2009, “Oil-Gas Scientific Research Project” Institute carried out the estimation of proven reserves of the field according to which residual reserves in Gala suite horizon in Palchig Pilpilesi field comprise 40077.4 thousand tons and proven production reserves in 2306.4 thousand tons included in A+B+C1 category. It should be noted that 48 % of residual proven oil reserves are only in Gala suite horizon. At present, the exploitation of Gala suite horizon is conducted in 62 wells. The drilling of wells from additional platforms to be constructed over the coming years is planned. The accumulation of significant amount of proven reserves in III, V, X and XII blocks of Gala suite’s horizons and the rocks’ high characteristics (porosity, permeability, oil saturation etc.) give reason for studying it and review the practicability of additional wells.
