Since 1987 when the first time oil was discovered from Pre-Tertiary fractured granite Basement reservoir in Cuu Long Basin South-east Vietnam offshore more oil has been discovering and producing from this type of reservoirs in the basin. Currently the Pre-Tertiary fractured granite Basement is considered as the primary objective in Cuu Long basin in particular and in Vietnam in general, which contributes more than 70 % of oil production from the Cuu Long Basin.
To explore and develop Hydrocarbon from this particular reservoir type we have to face with many difficulties especially how to predict fracture systems and their characters inside the granite basement. In the last years integration of 3D seismic data interpretation and tectonic reconstruction have been applying to locate both exploration and development wells in Vietnam. Results of the drilled wells have proved the efficiency of the methodology. In this paper we would like to present our current work flow and experience in using the methodology to study the fractured granite basement in the Cuu Long Basin. We also would like to present some our case studies.
