Kang Ujay,

Beicip-Franlab punya software/module untuk faulted and fractured Reservoir, namanya  
FRACA. Mungkin mereka punya kantor di Jakarta ? Minta saja mereka untuk presentasi di 
kantor, sekalian menimba ilmu dari mereka, tahu workflow dari FRACA, i.e geometrical 
modeling dan modul2 simulasi yang bisa dikombinasi, dan mungkin bisa sekalian dapet 
referensi tentang fracture di basement.

wass.

HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION FROM FRACTURED BASEMENT FORMATIONS

INTRODUCTION
This compilation presents brief details of the occurrences of commercial
hydrocarbon reservoirs in fractured basement rocks from approximately 30
different countries. By definition (see below), the review concentrates only
on those reservoirs found in igneous, metamorphic and volcanic rocks.
The document has been assembled primarily from published literature and is
therefore, to a large degree, a historical review. However, we have also
incorporated responses to the sci.geo.petroleum newsgroup and endeavoured to
make new information available on a regular basis. It is made available for
personal interest and education only and should not be republished or
distributed in any way. Data has not been cross-checked in detail against
multiple references so use with care. In addition, some of the information,
for example on production, will be out of date since it is based on
historical sources.
Information updates, corrections and comments are welcome. Has your Company
found an example that we can use in the public domain to validate these
occurrences? We would appreciate the data, please help support Version 8. We
know from our own work that there are several fields in various countries
that are not included here because no information has been released in the
public domain. We will make it available as it is released.

BACKGROUND
A large proportion of the world's proven oil reserves have been found in
reservoir rocks that are naturally fractured (Waldren & Corrigan, 1985;
Nelson, 1985; Aguilera, 1995; Nelson, 2001). In his updated book, Nelson
(2001) gives a list of some 370 fields where natural
fractures are important for production and a significant proportion are in
basement settings. Nelson (2001) also states that "...in BP Amoco alone,
current and future fields in various types of fractured reservoirs are
estimated to account for some 21 billion barrels of oil
equivalent (BBOE)".
The occurrence of naturally fractured basement reservoirs has been known
within the hydrocarbon industry for many years but generally regarded as
non-productive, they have failed to draw the attention of the
explorationist. Often passed over as 'of no economic potential', their
investigation by exploratory drilling has been left to chance. Yet, they are
commonly distributed in various petroliferous regions throughout the world.
As early as 1948, Eggleston (1948) carried out a comprehensive survey of oil
production from fractured basement rocks in California and found that 15,000
barrels per day were being produced from such rocks. This represented about
1.5% (918,000 barrels per day) of
the total California production at that time. Hubbert and Willis (1995)
produced a comprehensive list of fractured reservoirs in the United States.
According to Landes et al (1960), about 100 million barrels of oil had been
produced by that time from various basement rock sources worldwide with
initial productions being as high as 17,000 barrels per day. He goes on to
suggest that with accumulation of oil in such quantity, from a source often
as not found by accident, the probable reserve in fractured basement rocks
is of such a magnitude that discovery by design should become the rule.
Reservoirs in fractured basements, where the oil and gas in place may be
held within an extensive fracture network on a variety of different scales
rather than within the matrix porosity of the formation, present challenging
problems to the petrophysicist and reservoir engineer. Fractured reservoirs
are much more difficult and expensive to evaluate than the more conventional
reservoirs (Nelson, 1982, 1985, 2001).
A greater understanding of the fracture distribution and connectivity within
basement reservoirs may prove to be the key tool for improved exploration
and production management of this hidden resource. Commercial, naturally
fractured basement oil deposits have been found largely by accident, whilst
looking for other types of reservoir (Aguilera, 1980; Landes et al, 1960).
Landes et al, (1960) postulated that basement rock oil accumulations are not
freaks to be found solely by chance but are normal concentrations of
hydrocarbons obeying the rules of origin, migration and entrapment.
Therefore, in areas of not too deep basement, oil deposits should be sought
with the same professional skill and zeal as accumulations in the overlying
sediments.
Landes (1959) stated that once the basement rock had been reached during
drilling, it was thought that there was little or no chance for oil
production. Many oil companies still stop drilling operations as soon as
basement rocks are intersected. Aguilera (1995a) suggests
that drilling should be continued into the basement rocks for at least 300
m, especially if the basement is overlain by an oil yielding formation.
Kenney (1996) states that in the western countries, all of the oil fields
that produce from crystalline basements were discovered by accident.
Aguilera (1995b) and Russell (1995) continue, stating that most naturally
fractured reservoirs (sandstones, carbonates, cherts, shales and not just
basement reservoirs) were discovered by accident. In Russia and some of the
other countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) however, drilling into
crystalline basements has been carried out intentionally (Kenney, 1996),
although a literature search reveals that citations of producing fields in
basement are actually few and far between. Landes (1959) wonders how many
oil discoveries have been missed because of inadequate exploration of the
barely scratched basement by unsuccessful wildcats.

Example from Indonesia
Sumatra - Beruk Northeast
The Beruk Northeast oil field of Central Sumatra was discovered in 1976 with
the drilling of the Beruk Northeast Well No. 1 into a Pre-Tertiary basement.
The oil field is located within the Central Sumatra BackArc Basin, one of a
series of Tertiary basins oriented along the western and southern margin of
the Sudan Craton. In addition to Beruk Northeast, only four other fields
have been reported as producing from Pre-Tertiary basement in Indonesia.
Koning & Darmono (1984) state that oil production from Pre-Tertiary rocks is
exceptional in Southeast Asia. The Beruk Northeast field is situated within
a group of oil fields in the central area of the Pertamina-Calasiatic-Topoco
Coastal Plains-Pekanaru Production Sharing Block. The basement rocks, which
tested oil, consist of fractured metaquartzites, weathered argillites and
weathered granite. Beruk Northeast Well No. 1 was drilled to a total depth
of 1,634 ft into the basement. An openhole test of the basement flowed at
1,680 bbl/day. A thin Telisa sand located approximately 100 ft above the
basement was tested and flowed at 480 bbl/day. By 1984, Beruk Northeast Well
No. 1 had produced in excess of 1,100,000 barrels of oil, 640,000 barrels of
water and 42 MMCF of associated gas. All production from the well has been
obtained through the naturally occurring fracture system in the Pre-Tertiary
basement metaquartzites (negligible matrix porosity exists from core
studies). Subsequent development wells have been less productive, possibly
due to the poor characteristics of the weathered argillite and granite
reservoirs (Koning & Darmono, 1984). In the Sei Teras field, South Sumatra,
15,000 barrels of oil and 1 BCF of gas has been produced since 1977 from two
wells in basement limestone and quartzite. Approximately 21 million barrels
of oil and 14 BCF of gas has been produced from Pre-Tertiary rocks in the
Tanjung field, South Kalimantan (Koning & Darmono, 1984, after Tiwar &
Taruno, 1979). The basement rocks in this field consist of porphyritic
extrusives (lava) and volcanics as well as metamorphosed sandstones, shales
and claystones. In both the Sei Teras and Tanjung fields, the basement is
locally deeply weathered and fractured (Koning & Darmono, 1984).


Java - Jatibarang Field
The Jatibarang field is located in Northwest Java, approximately 200 km to
the east of Jakarta. The field produces from eight shallow sedimentary
zones, but major production zones are in naturally fractured volcanic
formations (Soewono & Setyoko, 1987). The Jatibarang volcanic formation
consists of lava flows (andesite/basalt), tuff and agglomerate/ volcanic
breccia. Oil was first discovered in the volcanic reservoir in November 1969
with the drilling of Well JTB-44, at a depth of 2,011 m (Sembodo,1973) and
has been developed since 1973. Initial production from 20 wells was
approximately 40,000 bbls/day. Since then, many wells have been drilled, the
production of which varies from 250 bbls/day to 3,000 bbls/day. The depth of
wells varied between 2,000 m and 2,300 m, with hydrocarbons found between
1,900 m and 2,200 m (Sembodo, 1973). By April 1987, the cumulative recovery
of the Jatibarang volcanic reservoir was 83.9 M bbls of net oil from 136
wells (Soewono & Setyoko, 1987). Kalan et al (1994) present the results of a
geological investigation of the Jatibarang Field performed in 1991/1992 by
Elf Aquitaine Indonesia. The investigation was part of a feasibility study
into the utilisation of horizontal drilling to improve production from the
Jatibarang volcanics. The feasibility study concluded that the drilling of
horizontal wells would provide increased recovery from the volcanic
reservoir (actual production figures were not provided). Fracturing in the
volcanics is believed to be the most intensive in the tight folds of the
Central and Western Blocks which accounts for the good production
(previously discussed above). Kalan et al (1994) proposed the use of a
horizontal well in the Eastern Block of the Jatibarang Field where the
volcanic reservoir has produced less than expected due to lower intensity of
folding and fracturing.
