Abstract

Abstract The objective of this study was to improve the accuracy of condensate gas ratio (CGR) prediction in the Pailin and Moragot areas. Conventional method to predict liquid component reserves used only long-life condensate gas ratio (long-life CGR) from near-by production platform(s). The long-life CGR data are available in the mature production platforms which commonly takes 1-2 years to observe the decline trend so that there is no available data in the new drilled area and non-production area. This might cause inaccurate prediction of liquid reserves in the future platform especially in the platform locates far away from the mature production area. Multiple data which are basin modeling, geochemical data, drill-stem test, and batch-level production were analyzed and integrated to improve the accuracy of CGR prediction and understand geological reasons of high or low liquid production platform. These data can improve the confident level for CGR estimation in the non-production area and help identify potentially high liquid production platforms. The results show that the high liquid production in Pailin and Moragot fields related with the differentiation of source rock and migration process. There are three (3) separated trends in Pailin field and two (2) trends in Moragot field using geochemical data and basin modeling data. The local DST data has been integrated to confirm the extent of potentially high liquid production in several future platforms which locates in non-production area. Also, the updated production data has been re-visited to estimate the new CGR for the project located near-by production platform.
