SPE Workshop: Complex Reservoir Fluid Characterisation Impact on Hydrocarbon Recovery and Production
13 - 16 March 2016 | Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang, Malaysia
Workshop Description
Reservoir fluid phase behavior and PVT properties play a major role throughout the field life cycle from exploration,
development, production and reservoir management up to EOR/IOR implementation. Complex reservoir fluids include the
volatile oil, retrograde condensate, heavy oils, high impurities (such as CO2, H2S, etc.), high wax and asphaltenes content, fluids
with high degree of compositional grading and variation, non-equilibrium fluids and also the change of phase behavior and
composition through IOR/EOR processes. For instance, it is recognised that the phase and volumetric behavior of gas/oil system
during gas injection had an important effect on ultimate recovery efficiency.
Characterisation of the complex fluid which include obtaining reliable fluid samples, PVT data measurement and quality
assurance/quality control (QA/QC), EOS tuning and fluid initialisation is a vital element to understand the hydrocarbon system
and essentially the fluid characterisation integration with other reservoir data, particularly with rock characterisation, will assist
in development decision and on-going reservoir management. Technology advancement and new methodologies in complex
fluid characterisation result in a better and more accurate prediction of the phase behavior and volumetric properties of
multicomponent system.
More attention will be given on the following cases: multi-stacked compartmentalised reservoirs with hydrocarbon fluids having
large degree of compositional and gravity variation, laterally and vertically; waxy/asphaltic crude development and production,
gas/oil fields with acid gases contamination; deepwater development and fluid evaluation for gas-based and chemical EOR
processes.
Reservoir fluid characterisation also plays a key role in the design and optimization of production processes and facilities for
efficient reservoir management. Thus, the challenges of characterising complex fluid streams for applications in different
disciplines are worth extensive/elaborate discussion. Essentially, the discussion will address the overall risks and uncertainties
and the impact of complex fluid characterisation from subsurface and surface perspective on the development concepts
associated with gas/oil recovery and production, especially with respect to development capex and lifecycle opex.
Workshop Objectives
• Review and critique the latest technical advancements, associated reservoir fluid technologies, and management for the full
E&P life cycle from exploration to EOR/IOR, with special emphasis on carbonate fluid systems and sour systems.
• Share experiences via case histories.
• Exchange/discuss ideas with fellow participants/experts from other companies, research institutes and universities.
• Form a stronger network in the area of reservoir fluids/PVT, leading to future collaborative R&D/exchange of information at
various levels.

Session 2: Advancement of Complex Fluid Sampling and Data Acquisition
Samples of complex fluids can be collected from a wide range of locations covering topside facilities, the wellbore
and the formation itself. Best practices for complex fluid sampling, the acquisition and reporting of data as well as
the quality control of samples have advanced in recent years and will be discussed. The sampling program itself
must ensure that the best methods are used to ensure that samples are taken under the best conditions. This is
critical, for instance, in the case of gas/condensate reservoirs that may be at their saturation pressure. Sampling
methods for heavy oils require the use special tools and sensors to obtain representative samples. Additionally the
sampling of reactive or non-hydrocarbon components of complex reservoir fluids can be complicated through
reaction or adsorption when in contact with the production tubing and even sample-bottle walls. Multiphase
metering and the development of advanced methods such as isokinetic sampling now are having an impact on
sampling programs. Developments in down-hole sampler technology, better designed equipment for reactive
samples and the continued development of in-situ down-hole measurements and data acquisition continue to
contribute to improvements in obtaining quality representative samples.
Luncheon
Session 3: Complex Fluids Characterisation - Phase Behavior and PVT tests
Reservoir fluids naturally containing mixtures of complex hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons such as carbon
dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, mercury, nitrogen etc. In-situ and laboratory tests of collected samples are required to
determine their physical and chemical properties. This includes hydrocarbon type and the pressure, volume,
temperature (PVT) phase behavior of the reserves in place. Complex fluids present an additional range of
challenges in both their phase behavior and PVT measurement and properties. Gas-Condensates and near-critical
volatile oils require careful analysis to capture their volatile, retrograde behavior and unique compositional
changes. Inaccurate PVT analysis can result from small retrograde liquid volumes and underrepresented lean gases.
Likewise the analysis of dense-phase hydrocarbons requires the collection of homogeneous samples prior to
laboratory analysis. Close supervision of all field and laboratory experiments can ensure accuracy and validity of
PVT tests. Results from the tests can be validated by the use of PVT software to determine the quality of the match
between experimental PVT data and simulation.
Coffee Break
Session 4: Complex Fluids EOS Modelling
The topic of the session will be targeted from two different angles. It will deal with complex phase equilibria
exemplified through Asphaltene and wax precipitation. Modelling of those equilibria are further complicated by
the fact that the key fluid components are heavy and not quantitatively analysed for. Common EoS modeling for
multiple reservoir fluid compositions is another modelling challenge to be dealt with. What is the best practice for
generating a Common EoS model and how large a span in fluid compositions can be handled?
Session 5: Production & Flow Assurance
Early identification of the potential for hydrates, wax, asphaltene and scale deposition to occur during production
may be critical for field development planning. This session will focus on the flow conditions (temperature, pressure
and salinity) which may cause these substances to form within the wellbore or surface network. Best practice
methods for mitigation and remediation will also be discussed and illustrated via a case study.

Session 6: Compositional Grading and Variation
Significant compositional variations are common occurrence in large and high relief hydrocarbon reservoirs
because of several reasons including gravitational segregation, thermal gradients, bio degradation, charge history
and leaky seals. These variations highly influence development and production strategies. It is critical to reservoir
management to capture these variations accurately in mathematical models. This session will focus on discussing
the state-of-the-art technologies and evaluation methodologies.
Coffee Break
Session 7: Multidisciplinary Data Integration and Fluid Management
Multidisciplinary data integration is one of the more important activities required to understand the fluid
distribution in the reservoir, define fluid contacts, reservoir compartment, and other factors required to calculate the
volumes of hydrocarbons in place, to estimate recovery factors and build a representative static models, which is
fundamental for a dynamic model that would allow proper evaluation of well performance and define optimum
field development plans. Multidisciplinary data integration involves wells, logs, cores, geology, seismic surveys,
fluid samples, geochemistry studies, production tests, well geometries, completions, etc. its right integration is the
unique way to enable the construction of a sound reservoir model, hence a optimum field development plan.

Session 8: Topside and Facilities Consideration, HSE and Economics
The impact of reservoir fluid properties on the production system over the lifecycle of a field development can be
very significant. The design assumptions and operating philosophy adopted in an initial Field Development Plan
will both constrain the operating envelope of the facility, and put boundary conditions on potential new field
developments that would utilize the same facility. These include the impacts of contaminants and fluid property
changes over the production lifecycle. With uncertainties in the reservoir fluid phase behavior and PVT properties,
impurities levels (e.g. CO2, H2S, wax, aspahltenes, etc.), water production, and other considerations over the
lifetime of an installation, the impact on facilities design, production, HSE and field economics become very
important considerations. This session will focus on these aspects of field development, and also on best practices
in efficient facilities and reservoir management to optimize lifecycle opex and capex for safe production.
Coffee Break
Session 9: Regional Focus - High CO2 and Contaminants Gas Field Development and Sequestration
This session is focusing on this region’s challenges in high CO2 and contaminants gas field development and
sequestration. More than 90% of the high CO2 and contaminants gas field development and sequestration in the
world are those in onshore and clastics. On the other hand, most this region’s high contaminants fields are those in
offshore and carbonates. Thus, there are lack of case studies, experiences and on the shelves technologies readily
available that can be taken advantage of by the upstream oil & gas player in the this region in developing their high
contaminants gas fields. This further compounded by the rare experts on both surface facilities, engineering and
subsurface related operations on the subjects. Reducing costs is another challenge.

Session 10: Regional focus - Complex field development including rich gas condensate, oil rim, compositional
variation, non-equilibrium cases, etc.
This session will focus on field development challenges related to complex reservoir fluids frequently encountered
in the South-Asian region. In the Malay basin, we encounter reservoirs with light oil, rich gas condensates
sometimes associated with oil rims and multi-stacked compartmentalised reservoirs with both areal and vertical
variations in fluid compositions. In this region, there has been recent focus on development of tight gas reservoirs
often under HPHT conditions. We also observe issues related to waxy/high pour point crude production and
related flow assurance issues. In this session, we will discuss specific cases and proposed solutions to mitigate these
challenges from within the region.
1030 - 1045
Coffee Break
1045 - 1245
Session 11: FDP Cases with Complex Reservoir Fluids
In this session, focus will be put on field developments of unique complex fluid reservoirs which include rich gas
condensate, thin oil rim, reservoirs with high compositional variation, gas injection, EOR projects, high CO2 and/or
contaminants, and others. Any of these fluids or processes can have profound impact on the phase behavior and
fluid properties of a producing resource. The challenges faced with the complex fluid field development shall test
the limits of industry resources, advance technologies and changing our practices to adapt to these challenging
environments. This session will demonstrate best practices and lessons learned from data acquisition & sampling,
complex fluids characterization, modelling technique, production & reservoir management within this region.

SPE TRAINING COURSE: UNDERSTANDING THE COMPLEX
FLUID CHARACTERISATION: A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN
IMPROVING THE HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
12 – 13 March 2016 | Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang, Malaysia
TRAINING COURSE
SPE Training Course in Conjunction with SPE
Complex Reservoir Fluid Characterisation - Impact
on Hydrocarbon Recovery and Production Workshop
Course Instructor
Rahim Masoudi and Raj Deo Tewari
Course Description
This 2-day course deals on various aspects of complex fluids
characterisation of oil and gas reservoirs. Significant complexities
exist in oil and gas reservoirs in terms of reservoir architecture
and fluids. Fluid complexities viz compositional gradation and
variation, impurities and drastic spatial variations impact the
recovery and production from the field. Many times these
complexities are not understood and recognised in view of
limited data and lack of analysis and appropriate tools used for
capturing the data. These data are very crucial for reservoir
engineering calculations in FDP, processing and flow assurance
in wellbore and pipelines. This course is planned to introduce
the topic in such way that candidates are able to understand
basics of complex fluid characterisation and some of the
differences from the conventional fluid studies, sampling of
fluids in various types of reservoirs and in different conditions,
planning of experiments for various recovery mechanisms viz.
primary, secondary and tertiary stages. There will be special
emphasis on modeling of PVT parameters which are important
input in numerical simulation. Also a great deal will be covered
on QA/QC of PVT data of laboratory studies and EOS
modeling and PVT simulation as well as analysis and studies of
compositional grading and variation. Generation of appropriate
data for RE calculations in view of limited and unreliable data
will also find special emphasis in the course. State of art
techniques like downhole fluid analysis (DFA) and photophysics
of reservoir fluids will also be introduced. Overall emphasis of
the course is discussion of importance of PVT parameters for
their practical application in reservoir simulation and management.
Why You Should Attend?
As globally recognised, among the main efforts to increase oil
and gas production is comprehensive understanding of the
fluid system and its behavior under difference scenarios of
production, depletion and developments. Complex fluids and
complex fields add more challenges to the conventional ways
that the projects and studies are being done. As a petroleum
engineer, it is important for you to understand the challenges,
options and best practices dealing with the complex reservoir
fluid systems both in the oil and gas assets.
Who Should Attend?
The course is designed for petroleum, reservoir and process
engineers involving in various phases of technical and
engineering studies and field development planning, and for
those in resources management and investment for development
of complex fields with complex fluids.
