About the Workshop

This workshop aims to address the key technologies and best practices in Bolivia that have been implemented to reach the targeted expectations, and which new technologies can increase productivity and recovery. It will be of interest for an informed audience with knowledge of technologies and application practices in gas and condensate reservoirs, deep and naturally fractured reservoir systems. The format is structured for technical presentations, followed by Q&A with the audience. Bolivia is located in the middle of South America and has more than 30 years of experience in deep gas elds development. Successful technological applications for deep wells led to prove the presence of large gas and condensate reserves currently exported to Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay in the future. Gas production has grown 500% in the last 15 years with the discovery and development of new deep reservoirs in the Chaco Basin. Well production between 38 MMSCFD per well has changed to 80120 MMSCFD per well due to these new deep wells, transforming the old exploitation and production paradigms into new practices. Production from deep and naturally fractured formations has challenged all the processes for drilling, completion, production, and characterization. Lessons learned during past years and the use of new technologies has been helpful to achieve success.

Preliminary Technical Agenda

Wednesday, 20 March
Keynote Speaker Presentation 08300900 Session I
Reservoir Characterization Challenges and Case Studies
Naturally fractured tight sands reservoirs that host a significant proportion of the regions gas reserves, can be very complex and heterogeneous, leaving room for significant uncertainty. The importance of the dual porosity model as a representation of the natural fractures, the analysis of flow of the matrix to fractures, fractures as channels of high permeability flow, or flow barrier, are key elements of analysis. This session will cover the main methodologies, best practices, new process and workflows, and technologies that support state-of-the-art in reservoir characterization and engineering. The integration of seismic, geology, and well data will be shown as a key element in reducing the natural and distinctive uncertainty that fractured reservoirs bring to the subsurface studies. Regional examples that frame case studies in geostatistics and modeling for sandstone reservoirs will also be presented, showing the positive or negative impact fractures can have on production performance.

Drilling Challenges and Lessons Learned
Drilling muds causes large irreversible damage to open fracture networks and leads to low production of wells. This session will discuss drilling challenges in the region of the south of SubAndean with fractured reservoirs and will include the following topics:  Applicability of new drilling technologies for fractured reservoirs  Applicability of new drilling technologies to drill carboniferous formations  Well design in fractured reservoirs (trajectory, placement, geo-steering, under-balance drilling)  Drilling fluid selection for interested intervals (non-damaging, solids control, under-balanced)  Perforation and stimulation techniques  New technologies in drilling for gas reservoirs  Case histories in drilling for fractured formations

Session II 11001230
Reservoir Engineering Challenges and Case Studies
Discussion continued from Session I as related to challenges encountered in reservoir engineering.

Session III 13301500

Field Development Strategies and Production Challenges
One of the most difficult aspects of planning high well productivity field development is quantifying and establishing the volumetric associated with production levels during the life of a naturally fractured tight sands field. The planning strategies used to analyze production must face a high level of uncertainty presented by the presence of fractures and other characteristics for these reservoirs. This session will present lessons learned, state-of-the-art technologies, new developments and best practices used to mitigate uncertainties in field development of high well productivity reservoirs. Topics include:  Development options and strategies for naturally fractured tight sands reservoirs Early stages of data acquisitionwell test Permanent data monitoringreliability Water conformance techniques  Managing uncertainties: next generation integrated modeling and simulation tools Well and reservoir management

Session VI
Discussion continued from Session V.

Session VII 13301500

Completions Challenges and Lessons Learned
This session will discuss challenges and lessons encountered during the design, execution and evaluation of the completion type implemented in the deep gas wells in fractured reservoirs. An inaccurate completion selection causes irreversible damage to open fracture networks which leads to low production of wells. The session will cover: Strategies for completions in fractured reservoirs Down hole pressure and temperature monitoring techniques Down hole rates monitoring techniques Production bottom hole system integrity monitoring Intelligent completions
