Mature Field Development Using 3-D Seismic in Minas Field, Central Sumatra, Basin, Indonesia

Faizil Fitris and Timothy P. Whitacre

The Minas field 3-D seismic survey (450 km2) was conducted after nearly 4000 MMBO of production. Interpretation of the data has shown a significant number of remaining prospects within the field. Delineation of these locations was impossible using the 2D seismic grid. The new 3D data cube has revealed locations in simple anticlines, en-echelon folds, faulted monoclines, rollover folding, complex faulted zones, stratigraphic traps and within a fractured basement high.

The new interpretation has identified more than 75 development and OSWC well locations. These wells will produce an estimated 75 MMBO. As the result of a $5MM seismic survey, the asset value will increase by nearly $1000MM.
