GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - ii - Final_180513 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
GSPC-led consortium of GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR carried out the 6-year exploration program in the Block CB-ONN-2002/3 which was spread into two areas namely Part-A (Sanand area) and Part-B (Miroli area). Total 17 exploratory wells were drilled with 7 discoveries and 3 appraisals wells were drilled to appraise 2 discoveries (SE8 & M1). There were 5 oil discoveries in Part-A, out of which two were in shallower Kalol Formation (SE8 and SE10) and 3 were in deeper Intra-Cambay Formation (SE-2, SE-4 and SE-5). There were 2 discoveries (M1 and M6) in Part-B - both in Intra-Cambay Formation and their integrated development was duly approved by Management Committee (MC) of the block on 5/11/12 and presently contemplated for commercial production.
As a part-fulfillment of discovery maturation process pursuant to the PSC provision, Article 10.5, GSPC as the Operator on behalf of consortium partners submitted an integrated report on Declaration of Commerciality (DoC) for Oil Discoveries in Part A of the block (Sanand area). All the discoveries were combined into three clusters viz. SE-8 discovery, SE-10 Discovery and SE4 cluster (SE2, SE4 & SE5 discoveries) for integrated development leveraging commercial merit. The integrated DoC of the discoveries was first deliberated in the MC meeting dated 5/7/11 and MC advised contractor to come up with more improved economics through revisit to current work. Accordingly, Contractor submitted a revised DoC on 9/3/12 to DGH for a review. The DGH- recommended report was duly approved by MC on 5/11/12. MC endorsed the pre- development of above 5 discoveries with an estimated oil inplace of 15.45 MMBBL and estimated ultimate recovery of 568,000 BBL. MC noted DGH-reviewed peak oil rate of 230 BOPD and recommended for initial development with 6 existing oil wells along with 1 new horizontal well. The oil well, SE3 which was not earlier declared discovery on geological pay analogue with other discoveries was also duly recognized by MC to be included under forward strategy.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - iii - Final_180513
As a part of integrated development strategy for Sanand Part-A Clusters, GSPC as the Operator on behalf of Contractor hereby put forth an initial Field Development Plan (FDP) in order to commission the field initially with 6 existing wells, to be followed by 1 new horizontal well as a part of improved oil recovery.
During the FDP work, all the three Cluster well(s) namely SE8(+SE8-A1), SE10 and SE2- (SE3)-SE4-SE5 were independently assessed through necessary reservoir modeling (both static and dynamic) leading to estimate of oil inplace and its recovery through prediction over a period of 15 years.
The current estimate of combined oil inplace for 3 clusters after reservoir simulation was initialized to 24.75 MMBBL (SE4 Cluster: 13.03 MMBBL, SE8: 10.52 MMBBL and SE10: 1.2 MMBBL). The initial production from existing wells in all clusters is expected to be in the order of 110 BOPD (SE8 Cluster: 32, SE10:13, SE4 Cluster: 65), while with the MC-recommended proposed horizontal well in SE4 cluster, fluid production is envisaged to be additional 135 BOPD to existing field oil rate. The terminal oil production cumulative of all clusters including horizontal well came out to be 714,100 BBL with a recovery of 2.88%. Production of Associated Natural Gas (ANG) is expected to be minimal and would be utilized internally; hence the same was not commercially evaluated.
The field with 6 oil wells would be commissioned immediately after MC approval of FDP. The produced crude would be stored with minimum facility at the 4 well sites namely SE8, SE8-A, SE10 and SE4 Cluster and transported using tankers to local market. It was recommended that the field being marginal in nature, its performance would be reviewed after one year of production as current estimates were essentially biased to standard correlations with a little support of hard data. Based on encouraging field performance, the proposed horizontal well would be matured for drilling along with
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - iv - Final_180513 multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.
The project with past expenditure will not yield to positive economic returns. However, considering only the future development CAPEX of US$ 10.11mn (new well cost: 7.20mn and facility cost: 2.91mn) and OPEX of US$30/BBL, the project works out to be profitable. Under such scenario, the pre-tax NPV of profit of project at 10% discount rate and crude price of US$ 100/BBL stood at 9.78mn with IRR of 73.0% and payback of 3.5 years.

IV. Reservoir Study (Well Test Interpretation & Production Profile)
INTRODUCTION Operator on behalf of contractor submitted the Integrated DoC to DGH in July 2010 with for a review and recommendation to MC. Accordingly, the study was presented to MC on 5/7/2011 along with DGH observations. Given the fact that profit petroleum would be a distant reality due to marginal nature of field production and recovery, MC advised Operator to submit a revised study with particular focus on higher productivity and the improved economics. Operator revisited the work and submitted a revised report of commerciality analysis in March 2012. The report was reviewed by DGH and recommended to MC. MC in its meeting dated 5/11/12 reviewed the DoC and advised contractor to come up with a FDP that would be based on existing oil wells (SE2, SE3, SE4, SE5, SE8, SE8-A1 and SE10) and 1 new horizontal well with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.
Operator embarked on field development planning in line with DGH technical review and findings. All achievable field development scenarios were worked out to improve the oil recovery at a modest development spending. Operator demonstrated a case where new but proven technology of multi-stage fracturing of horizontal well could be a possible option to achieve favorable returns. In such effort, Operator carried out further refinement in interpretative model of SE4 cluster, taking cue from positive drilling results of adjoining GSPC-operated field.
The static reservoir models as built from sub-surface interpretations were all simulated with the inputs of dynamic reservoir properties for all 3 clusters (SE4 Cluster, SE8 Cluster and SE10). The production forecast was run for 15 years and economics carried out under various scenario of OPEX and market conditions.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 2 - Final_180513 1. BLOCK SUMMARY Exploration block CB-ONN-2002/3 was awarded to GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR consortium with GSPC as the Operator with participating interests of 55%, 20%, 15% and 10% respectively. This block (Fig.-1.1) has two parts Sanand area (Part-A) in the North and Miroli area (Part-B) in the South. In the Part A, the oil discoveries made in the 2 wells namely SE8, SE10 belonged to Kalol Formation while the discoveries made in the 3 wells namely SE2, SE4 and SE5 belong to Intra Cambay Formation. In the Part B, oil discoveries were made in the Intra Cambay Formation only.
The block had 6 years of exploration period which was split into three phases of 2.5 + 2.0 + 1.5 years for Phase I, II and III respectively. However, Phase I was extended twice to 4.0 years cumulatively at the expense of Phase II period, which was effectively reduced to 0.5 year. Following break-up of timelines would further illustrate the duration of each phase:
29.07.2004 28.01.2007 :: Phase I (2.5 year) 29.01.2007 28.07.2007 :: Phase I 1st Extension (0.5 year) 29.07.2007 27.07.2008 :: Phase I 2nd Extension (1.0 year) 28.07.2008 27.01.2009 :: Phase II (0.5 year) 28.01.2009 27.07.2010 :: Phase III (1.5 year)
The total area of the block was originally 285 sq km and the effective area at the end of exploration period stood at 142 sq km after relinquishment of 50% of original area (25% in Phase-I and 25% in Phase-II). As a part of MWP carried out in 3 phases GSPC as the Operator re-processed all available 650 LKM of 2D seismic data, collected/analyzed 200 geo-chemical samples and acquired/processed/ interpreted 200 sq km of 3D data. As earlier narrated, two extensions of 6 months and 12 months were taken from Phase- II in order to complete the committed MWP under Phase-I with the following additional work program:
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 3 - Final_180513 1. Detail interpretation and building of a comprehensive geological model based on 3D seismic data and the results of drilled wells 2. AVO processing to identify possible stratigraphic traps present 3. Inversion of 3D seismic and refinement of appraisal locations
As was seen from the above table, exploration in the block had since completed and 20 wells were drilled by the GSPC-led contractor. 5 wells were notified as oil discoveries in Part A (SE2, SE4, SE5, SE8 & SE10) and 2 wells in Part B (M1 & M6). The discoveries namely SE8 and M1 were appraised through drilling of SE8-A1, SE8-A2 and M1-A1 wells. The well, SE3 was an oil well but not declared a discovery as it was reported to have analogue pay with discoveries in SE4 cluster. The Part B discoveries namely M1 and M6 were integrated and duly approved by MC of their initial development on 5/11/12 and the oil pool was contemplated for commercial production soon.
2. GEOLOGIC BRIEF Cambay Basin was regarded as a narrow, elongated, intra-cratonic rift basin situated in the north western part of Precambrian Shield in the state of Gujarat. The basin was a Tertiary graben with the sediment fill in the basinal part of Deccan. It was split into 5 tectonic blocks from south to north, namely Narmada-Tapti, Broach-Jambusar, Cambay-Tarapur, Ahmadabad-Mehsana, and the Patan-Tharad block (Fig.-2.1).
The discovery area (SE8, SE10 & SE4 cluster), which was reportedly located in the block that belonged to AhmedabadMehsana tectonic sub-block (Fig.-2.2), which was segmented longitudinally into two major half grabens, each with two prominent basement faults. There was a number of ONGC oil and gas fields in the immediate area to the north and east of Sanand-Miroli block, namely Balol, Bechraji, South Kadi, Kalol, Jhalora, Sanand, Nawagam and Dholka.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 4 - Final_180513 Fig.-2.3 shows the generalized stratigraphy of the onshore Cambay Basin. In the following sections, different formations/ members were described from base upwards to demonstrate a brief account of geology in terms of tectonics, sedimentation, depositional environment and resultant lithology.
Olpad formation (Paleocene) The Olpad formation was reported to commonly contain reworked volcanics as trapwash, along with conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and claystone. Sediments of the Olpad Formation were deposited primarily as a series of sub-aerial alluvial fans and fluvial facies. At places lower part of Cambay shale inter-fingered with the alluvial units of the Olpad Formation.
Wells SE2, SE3, SE4, SE5, SE8 and SE10 were drilled down to Olpad Formation and encountered the Olpad Top at more or less same depth. The respective depths at which wells SE2, SE3, SE4, SE5, SE8 and SE10 encountered Olpad Formation were 1818m, 1977m, 1774m, 1821m, 1758m and 1851m TVDSS.
Cambay Shale formation (Early Eocene) The Cambay Shale Formation is a lithostratigraphic unit with a thickness of around 340- 400m across different discoveries (SE2, SE4, SE5 & SE8) made in Part-A Sanand area. The Cambay Shale formation is informally divided into lower (Older Cambay Shale) and upper (Younger Cambay Shale) subdivisions, based on lithostratigraphic log correlation.
The Older Cambay Shale (OCS) is typically grey to dark grey in color, with a high amount of fines, altered volcanic material, slightly carbonaceous and contains beds of red clays. The Younger Cambay Shale (YCS) is dark grey to black in color, with shale
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 5 - Final_180513 and siltstones. Interestingly coals are commonly found within YCS.
All the wells were drilled through the Cambay Formation. Cambay top encountered in the wells SE2, SE3, SE4, SE5, SE8, SE8-A1, SE8-A2 and SE10 were 1413m, 1637m, 1373m, 1426m, 1404m, 1410m, 1438m and 1512m TVDSS respectively.
Kalol formation (Middle Eocene) The Kalol Formation represents three episodes of sea level fluctuation. The regressive depositional system is comprised of sandstone, siltstone, carbonaceous shale and coal whereas the transgressive depositional system results in widespread deposition of shale.
Two discoveries namely SE8 and SE10 made in the Part-A area, have discoveries in the siltstones/fine-sandstones associated with the coal bands of the Kalol Formations. Such reservoir bodies are fairly-developed over sandstone-dominated fluvio-deltaic sediments.
Tarapur Shale formation (Late Eocene to Oligocene) The Tarapur Shale formation is of Late Eocene to Oligocene age and conformably overlies the Kalol formation. As the name implies, the Tarapur Shale formation is dominated by shale with very limited reservoir potential.
All the wells were drilled through Tarapur Formation with Tarapur Top encountered at more or less same depth.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 6 - Final_180513 3. BACKGROUND OF REVISED FIELD DEVELOPMENT PLAN (RFDP) Integrated FDP for Sanand Part-A area was submitted to DGH on 23.05.13 for two reservoir formation namely - Kalol formation in SE-8; SE-10 discovery area and Intra- Cambay formation for SE-4 cluster area. All the discovery areas were independently assessed through necessary reservoir modeling (both static and dynamic) leading to estimation of oil in-place and its recovery through prediction over a period of 15 years.
The FDP for the wells SE4 Cluster area (SE3, SE4, SE5) was for Intra Cambay Formation (deeper level) but the indications and log behavior were also found to be interesting in Kalol Formation (Shallower level) which was deliberated in the submitted FDP as upside potential.
Subsequent to submission of FDP, Opeartor continued with G&G syudies and based on the revised petro-physical evaluation integrated with cutting sample analysis and success in testing result of Kalol formation in adjoining block CB-ONN-2000/1 block, consortium decided to test the Kalol formation of SE4 and SE3 respectively as per article 10.2 of PSC. Operator on behalf of Consortium perforated the Kalol formation in the interval 1219m-1222m (SE-4) and 1484m-1488m(SE-3) which flowed oil about 30-35 cubic meter per day in both the wells.
Significant oil Discovery in Kalol formations in the well SE3 and SE-4(in SE-4 cluster area) has led to revise the development strategy for proper exploitation of natural resource in a better manner. Detailed study involving re-interpretation of 3D Seismic data (horizon and fault mapping), Seismic attribute analysis of Kalol formation, Petrophysical evaluation, Volumetrics, Simulation, Production strategy and techno- economic analysis have been carried out and is submitted for approval.
As a forward step under project maturation path, this FDP was formulated for DGH review and recommendation to MC ahead of formal deliberation towards approval
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 7 - Final_180513 for field commissioning.
5. REVISED FIELD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Since Integrated FDP for Intra Cambay Formation (SE4 cluster area) has already approved with an ML of 18 sq.km area, hence RFDP of SE4 cluster area prepare in a strategic way. The existing oil wells namely SE3 and SE4 (which is already tested in Kalol Formation and flowed oil) would be opened and put on commercial production as a part of initial development strategy and additional 4 development wells may drilled within granted ML area. This would stream-in hard data on vital reservoir fluid parameters that would reduce model assumptions and revised model with a greater ML area may be justified.
5.1 RESERVOIR G&G Reservoir of the SE-4 cluster area consists of siltstones/fine-sandstones associated with the coal bands of the Kalol Formations. Such reservoir bodies are fairly-developed over sandstone-dominated fluvio-deltaic sediments
5.1.1 SEISMIC INTERPRETATION CGG Processed PSTM volume combined with Block CB-ONN-2002/3 and part of CB-ONN-2000/1 has been converted to depth domain by isometric Velocity grid which has been prepared with the help of GSPC
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 8 - Final_180513 / ONGC drilled well velocity. Depth conversion has been carried within the depth range of 1100 m to 1800 m.
Initially Seismic Interpretation were carried out separately in time migrated SEGY volume in Sanand area as well as depth converted RAI volume (CGG Processed) in Combined area. Later on, In-house Seismic interpretation of combined area has been carried out on extended depth converted seismic volume. Three Key seismic horizons namely Kalol Top, Reservoir Top and kalol Coal Top have been mapped both in time and depth domain. All the possible faults have been mapped and seismic surface attribute Analysis (Minimum Amplitude, RMS Amplitude) carried out for delineation of reservoir. Careful examination of several structural and stratigraphic attributes, a channel like feature is identified which is likely to be extending from GSPC operated Block CB-ONN-2002/3 to Block CB-ONN-2000/1. Spectral Decomposition of migrated SEGY volume at Sanand area on higher side frequency (43 - 47 Hz) also gives the support of similar features and its extension.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 9 - Final_180513 Seismic attribute analysis depicts the subtle channel running North to South in CB-ONN-2002/3 block and swings towards east in CB-ONN-2000/1 block. Wells SE-1 & SE-1A have been drilled in this E-W corridor of channel which again takes turn towards south, making a complete meandering channel. It is interpreted that the energy condition of this channel could have been very low in our study area and therefore sedimentary deposits are also very thin. The shoulder of the channel could not be seen on the seismic data as it is beyond the seismic resolution. However, Seismic attribute map suggests that channel has fluctuated in east-west direction due to which wells (e.g. SE-4, SE-5) falling beyond the mapped channel are also containing similar thickness of sand with varying petro-physical properties and are also charged with hydrocarbon. The position of SE3 and SE4 is controversial; either it present in the levee part of the present channel or in a mid part of a different paleo channel which may shifted later. Special data processing and advanced attribute analysis may required.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 10 - Final_180513 Kalol formation is mainly argillaceous Sandstone/siltstone with intercalation of dark grey shale, carbonaceous shale and coal. Full suite of logs consisting GR-SP-Cal, Resistivity-Density-Neutron logs were available. The Indonesian equation is used for estimation of water saturation. The petro-physical interpretative results for all wells are summarized below. Processing parameters used for Kalol formations, well-wise are tabulated below.
Production testing of correlatable layers within Kalol Formation in the wells - SE-3 and SE-4 measured oil influx. Following table shows the reservoir boundary that was captured for Kalol reservoir top & bottom.

Discussion of Results The sand/silt layer in the Kalol formation has been interpreted as hydrocarbon bearing. The summary of the petrophysical evaluation along with lithology descriptions are tabulated below (Table-5).
5.1.3GEO-CELLULAR MODEL 3D geo-cellular reservoir model for Kalol Formation combined with SE4 cluster area (CB-ONN-2002/3) and part of adjoining Sanand East area CB-ONN-2000/1)was carried out using M/s Schlumbergers Petrel 2013. The reservoir dimension as captured through seismic markers and well tops was snapped to geo-cellular layered grid of 50x50m as the first step for model creation. The reservoir properties were assessed to appropriately preserve the heterogeneity and grouped into zones and layers for subsequent grid-level population through pre- defined statistical procedures.
Area of Interest (AOI) Taking into consideration same type discovery in co-relatable layers of Lr. to Mid. Eocene Kalol pay, Static Modeling has been carried out for a greater area of 30 sq.km. taking 4 wells in GSPC operated Block CB-ONN-2002/3 and 4 wells (SE1, SE1A, SE1A1, SEDev1) in Block CB-ONN-2000/1.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 13 - Final_180513 Out of the whole modeled area, Sanand Discovery area is approximately 13 sq.km.
Facies Identification and Classification Five types of lithofacies have been identified, classified and demarcated for the entire Kalol Formation based on the cut-off of density (RHOB) and Vshale (VCL) log. The different lithofacies identified are coal, shale, carbonaceous shale, siltstone and sandstone Kalol Reservoir layer that tested hydrocarbon in SE3 and SE4 is mainly composed of silty sandstone (sand with minor amount of silt and shale). Thickness of the sandstone interval is in the range of 3 to 4 m. Well log Correlation Entire Kalol Reservoir has been co-related based on the response of basic wire line logs like GR-Resistivity-Density-Neutron.Different markers has been picked such as Reservoir Top, Bottom, Coal-1, Coal- 2 , Coal-3 top and Cambay Shale Top. Reservoir layer is well correlated among all the 4 wells (Fig 3.2.1 depicts the well correlation). STRUCTURAL MODELING 1. Fault Modeling Six interpreted faults has been considered Structural modeling. Out of the six faults, one fault is extending throughout the study area, there by bisection it into two different segments. Except SE2 all the wells drilled in the block CB-ONN-2002/3 is present in the eastern segment.

Most of the grid cells are aligned in approximately in N-S & E-W direction. All the six modeled faults has been used during pillar gridding
3. Horizon Modeling Kalol Reservoir Top interpreted in the seismic and well log level has been tied and made as the top boundary of the 3D grid
4. Zonation and Layering Two zones have been made down the reservoir top using two well markers i.e. Reservoir bottom and Coal -1 Top. Fig. 3.3. represents the isochore thickness of the Top zone (Zone 2) that lie between Reservoir Top and Reservoir Bottom. The topmost and bottommost part of the resulting 3D grid belongs to the depth of 1140m TVDSS and 1336m TVDSS respectively. Out of the two zones, Zone-2 (lying between Reservoir Top and Reservoir Bottom) is the zone of Interest and considered during modeling. 18 layers has been made in the Zone -2 in proportional meters. The total number of grid cells made in the i, j and k direction is 74 x 86 x 43 respectively, making the total number of grid cell to 2, 73,652. PROPERTY MODELING 1. Scale up well log
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 15 - Final_180513 Different Averaging scheme has been used during the well log scale up for discrete properties like facie and continuous properties like porosity, water saturation etc. Most of method has been used for facies scale up Arithmetic average method has been used for Porosity and Saturation biased to facies
2. Facies Modeling In the modeled reservoir zone "Z2", only three typ es of lithofacies viz. sandstone, siltstone and shale are present. At the scaled up log level shale, siltstone and sandstone belongs to 38%, 43% and 19% respectively. Facies modeling has been carried out using Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS) algorithm. Vertical proportion curve and variogram control of the wells has been used in Facies modeling. Horizontal trend map derived from the seismic attribute (sum of negative amplitude) for siltstone and sand stone has been also used After facies modeling, the percentage of shale, siltstone and sandstone in the 3D grid falls to 40%, 25% and 35% of the total grid population
3. Porosity Modeling Porosity modeling has been carried out facies wise using Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) algorithm under Petrophysical Modeling Module. Following consideration has been undertaken for the
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 16 - Final_180513 porosity modeling purpose. Variogram control of wells have been used during modeling Instantaneous frequency and Relative Acoustic Impedance (RAI) cube has been used under kriging and co-kriging categories respectively Shale facies has been assigned 0% porosity whereas other two facies i.e. siltstone and sand has been modeled. After Porosity modeling percentage of grid population falling in the class interval of 0-8, 8-16, 16-24, 24-32 & 32-40 changes from 45-57%, 6-4%, 11-6%, 26-25% and 12-8% respectively. Fig 3.4 represents the average porosity map for the reservoir zone Z2 Fig 3.6. shows the average porosity Map for Zone2
4. Saturation Modeling Based on the interpreted/processed log supplied by the petro physicist, well SE2 which is situated at the western segments shows a different saturation pattern as compared to the wells drilled in the eastern segments which may be due to the effect of a distinct fault running N-S. The only well in the western segment i.e. SE-2 is becoming 100% water saturated at the depth of 1203 m TVDSS whereas the well in the eastern segment have been tested hydrocarbon up to a depth of ......... m TVDSS in well SE-A1. Hence these depths were taken as Free Water Level @1203m for western and @1231.45m TVDSS for eastern segment respectively. Hence to address this issue a saturation height function was conceived based on cross plot between height above free water level function and upscale well saturation, later this saturation height function was conceived as a secondary variable during population of oil saturation in entire 3D grid (modeled) area.
Finally Saturation modeling has been carried out facies wise, shale facies has been assigned 100% water saturated. For sand and silt saturation (SW) was modeled using Saturation Height function as a secondary variable (Co- Kriging) as well as porosity as a tertiary variable (Collocated co-kriging). Fig 3.6. shows the average Water Saturation Map for Case-2
NET PAY CALCULATION
An integrated workflow of re-processed 2D and processed 3D seismic data was established for prospect evaluation. 5 prominent horizon tops namely Olpad, Intra-Cambay, Cambay Shale, Kalol and Tarapur formation were picked up for interpretation.
Olpad with trap-wash constituents has a strong impedance contrast against shale-dominated Cambay Shale formation. All the exploratory wells (SE2, SE3, SE4, SE5, SE8, and SE10) were drilled into Olpad at a comparable structural level. Intra-Cambay being a regressive litho-unit within monotonous shale of Cambay Shale is a difficult horizon to pick,
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 18 - Final_180513 however there is good correlation across well logs of SE2-SE3-SE4- SE5, which helped the mapping process. Fig.-5.1.1.i shows TWT structure map on top of Intra-Cambay formation. Cambay Shale top denotes the end of monotonous shale sequence and fairly mappable. Kalol has a strong impedance contrast with overlying shale sequence of Tarapur formation and can be easily picked up. The marker is also well-correlatable with well logs of SE8-SE8-A1-SE10-SE14. Structural anomalies like faults can be easily interpreted. Fig.-5.1.1.ii shows TWT structure map on top of Kalol formation. Tarapur of Oligocene age represents lithological contrast of marine shale with the coarse clastic sequence of Babaguru formation of Miocene age.
SE4 Cluster AoI of 2.0 sq km was modeled based on refined interpretation in depth domain. Seismic attribute, RAI was used to train the propagation of reservoir properties. The apparently inconspicuous reservoir top was mapped after applying double derivative on seismic trace. Two NNW-SSE trending faults were mapped one on the eastern fringe and another to the west of SE4 well. A transverse fault north of SE3 well apparently corroborates structural entrapment of oil accumulation. The faults were picked up on every inline and refined thereafter on cross-lines. All faults are normal and in conformity with regional principle stress (ENE-WSW direction). Average throw of fault is 5-10 m with low to moderate heave.
Reservoir belongs to Intra-Cambay formation, which is well-marked at top while bottom is inconspicuously mappable. A detail well-to-well wire- line log correlation is given with an illustrative account of major well tops and markers (Fig.- 5.1.3.xxv).
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 19 - Final_180513 Top of the reservoir as given in the adjoining picture shows a gentle culmination following structural axis in NNW-SSE, commensurate with longitudinal faults and local high around wells, SE5 and SE3. It may be noted that SE2 well is located in different structural block compared to other wells.
The reservoir is distinctly recognizable on well log as it is present just below the prominent high-GR marker. Using two more well markers including the reservoir top (mapped on seismic), 3 zones were created (Zone_U1, Zone_U2 and Zone_L1) as illustrated below:
The bottom-most zone, Zone_L1 is the principal reservoir zone with 70 layers built proportionally.
The reservoir is predominantly siltstone, often shaly. Volume of shale (VSH) was modeled following SGS algorithm and using secondary property of seismic RAI attribute which was appropriately normalized between 0 and 1 to match VSH values as explained alongside. VSD was computed from 1-VSH (modeled) and used as a general NTG function.
PHI was modeled using NTG as the secondary variable. In order to make the distribution tight, well-based porosity map was used as a conditional variant. Variogram ranges (MajorMinor=500m, Vertical=10m) were used empirically on conceptual basis without modeling on account of sparse well data. The extreme values were truncated to eliminate outliers to normal distribution.
For modeling SW, Free Fluid Index (FFI) was conceived as PHI*(1-SW) and modeled using PHI as the secondary variable. The distribution was simultaneously refined using reservoir top as the co-variant. The modeled FFI was thereafter de- convolved to compute SW in the following manner:-
SW=if(PHI>0.05,if(FFI=PHI,0.4,(1-(FFI/PHI))),1)
SW was assumed 0.40 as underlined above based on average oil saturation in the best porous zone. It was necessitated to eliminate incongruent interpolated FFI values.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 22 - Final_180513 5.1.4 OIL ESTIMATE The hydrocarbon inplace was worked out on revised interpretation and subsequent reservoir modeling. The oil estimate for SE8 cluster and SE10 discovery were considered the same as given in the DoC report.
The re-worked oil inplace for SE8 pool as reviewed by DGH and deliberated in the MC-meeting dated 5/11/12 is listed below:-
Area Hg NTG PHI SW FVF OIIP 5.36 sq km 5.5m 0.57 0.17 0.35 1.10 10.62 MMBBL
The input reservoir parameters encountered at wells (SE8 and SE8-A1) were laterally extended over the entire area without factoring heterogeneity across the model as earlier conceived at the time of preparing the initial DoC.
SE10 discovery was not further studied and the DoC/Revised DoC consideration was continued for inplace estimate. The average reservoir properties as per contractors submission are as follows: Bulk Volume: 26.0 MMSCM Uncertainty Scenario Principal Reservoir Unit Net Volume (MMSCM) Mean NTG Pore Volume (MMSCM) Mean Porosity Mean Oil Saturation HCPV (MMSCM) OIIP (MMBB L) Best Zone 3 7.0 0.27 1.0 0.14 0.20 0.201 1.15
DGH however reviewed the discovery with a reported inplace of 0.93 MMBBL.
Given the fact that SE4 cluster was re-interpreted with new drilling/production results from the adjoining GSPC-operated Sanand East field, this cluster has been worked out with changed volumetric estimate. 3 cases of uncertainty scenarios, namely Low, Best, and High were considered based on various probability assumptions. The
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 23 - Final_180513 summarized results of volumetric estimate are listed in the following table:
SE4 Cluster (Discovery/oil wells SE2, SE3, SE4, SE5) Bulk Volume: 317.664 MMSCM (Zone U1= 121.569 MMSCM, Zone U2= 26.934 MMSCM, Zone L1= 169.161 MMSCM) Uncertainty Scenario Principal Reservoir Unit Net Volume (MMSCM) Mean NTG Pore Volume (MMSCM) Mean Porosity Mean Oil Saturation HCPV (MMSCM) OIIP (MMBBL) Low Zone L1 18.402 0.48 2.515 0.14 0.45 1.141 6.525 Best 28.676 0.46 3.747 0.13 0.42 1.563 8.942 High 59.114 0.35 6.756 0.11 0.32 2.166 12.384
DGH in its review of DoC reported an estimate of 3.90 MMBBL for the SE4 cluster.
Methodology Different methods for each cluster were applied to carve out uncertainty polygons. SE8 cluster was quantified as follows:
Low case: AoI based on seismic RMS attribute distribution (1.22 sq km) Best case: AoI based on OWC at -1316m TVDSS (5.36 sq km) High case: AoI based on HKW at -1325m TVDSS (8.52 sq km)
Being a small pool, SE10 was conceived as a single case (best case) only. Petrel-generated seismic RAI attribute was used to create AoI of 0.35 sq km.
The SE4 cluster was delimited to 2.0 sq km by seismic attributes, supported by both RMS-amplitude and RAI. The uncertainty cases were measured using petro-physical cut-off as illustrated below:
Low case: Modeled NTG and where SW<0.67 and PHI>0.11 Best case: Modeled NTG and where SW<0.73 and PHI>0.095 High case: Direct model parameters without any cut-off In all such considerations, oil shrinkage factor of 1.10 was considered
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 25 - Final_180513 to compute stock tank oil inplace. Production of Associated Natural Gas (ANG) would remain sub-commercial and be used for internal consumption on bath heater.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 26 - Final_180513 5.2 DYNAMIC RESERVOIR MODEL Dynamic reservoir simulation was carried out separately for three areas namely SE8, SE10 and SE4 Cluster. Following sections would illustrate various aspects of reservoir simulation ranging from input assumptions to methodology and final outcomes:-
5.2.1 SE8 CLUSTER WELLS Following parameters were used in the model for SE8 cluster wells:
Input Considerations Fluid properties In absence of PVT study, standard correlations were used to derive PVT parameters. Reservoir fluid data used in the model are as follows: API Gravity: 17.45 O API Gas Gravity: 0.7 Rs: 5 rm3/sm3 Water salinity: 12,490 ppm Reservoir temperature: 182 O F Bo: 1.04 @ reservoir pressure of 2,758.5 psia
The wells SE#8 & SE#8A1 are not in self flow. Therefore based on the influx study data of the well SE#8, average reservoir pressure is calculated. Drawdown pressure transient equations are used to calculate average reservoir pressure. From the calculations, estimated average reservoir pressure for SE-8 area was close to 2758.5 psia (Table 5.2.1.a Annexure IV).
Relative permeability curves were generated from Corey functions (Corey co-efficient: gas 6, oil/water 3, oil/gas 3 and water 4) and the
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 27 - Final_180513 rock compressibility was calculated from Newmens formula for a silty- sandstone of porosity 0.17. Calculated rock compressibility was estimated to 3x10 -6 psi -1 .
Fluid saturations In absence of capillary pressure data, log-based well-average saturation was used for populating initial saturations in the model.
Grid & Rock Properties There was no core data available for study. As an analogue, Poro-Perm relations from equivalent Kalol formation core from GSPC-operated Tarapur-6 oil field were used to populate permeability in the reservoir model.
However, average porosity and NTG were taken from geo-cellular static model. Reservoir model consists of 100x113x84 grid cells with an average cell size of 50x50m.
Initialized Oil Estimate The static estimate of oil inplace (10.62 MMBBL) was initialized to 10.52 MMBBL and thus fairly holding on comparable terms.
Simulation Results & Discussions Well capacity (Kh) was modified by varying absolute rock permeability Kx, Ky, Kz and relative permeability (Krw & Kro) to match with the present well test flow rates and pressure data.
Fluid production was forecast by depletion drive and therefore recovery
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 28 - Final_180513 would mainly depend on total reservoir compressibility (Oil + Dissolved Gas + Water + Rock Compressibility).
Production Strategies Case 1: SE8 existing wells High drawdown is required due to viscous flow and low perm reservoir. Both the wells SE8 and SE8-A1 need to be produced by SRP.
Being seemingly heavy oil with low GOR and low compressibility, oil recovery under depletion drive was predicted to be 0.71%. Predicted production profile for 15 years is given in the (Table 5.2.1.b Annexure IV & Fig.-5.2.1.ia).
Case 2: SE8 existing wells and one new well One additional vertical well (SE8-D1) was proposed along with the existing wells. Owning to viscous nature of flow and low perm, all the wells SE8, SE8-A1 and SE8-D1 need to be produced by SRP.
Since one well was added, recovery was improved to 0.90%. Predicted Production profile for 15 years is given in the (Table 5.2.1.c Annexure IV & Fig.- 5.2.1.ib).
For both the cases, periodic build-up and pressure monitoring are required to be carried out as this might help make material balance calculations to find the drainage area and further validate contributing STOOIP (Stock Tank Originally Oil In Place).
Even though water production was not seen during well testing but well logs appeared to be underlain by water zones, perhaps due to capillary effect. Being apparently heavy oil with adverse mobility ratio,
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 29 - Final_180513 water with w=0.35cp and o=9.0cp would flow approximately 25 times faster than oil. Based on the present saturation distribution, followed by the simulation studies, it is expected that water cut might start within a year from the start of production.
Discussions This study is at a very preliminary stage. Model needs to be updated after acquiring one to two years of production data to give better prediction. As PVT data is not available, efforts need to be put in place to acquire Flash Liberation, Differential Liberation and Separator Test performed on the reservoir fluid samples to minimize the uncertainty. As core data is not available, SCAL data for facies analogues in GSPC- operated oil fields needs to be acquired. This would help fine-tune the relative perm and capillary pressure data to match with the historical production data.
Oil Recovery by depletion drive has been predicated below 1%. Recovery may be improved by secondary recovery mechanism. However in absence of enough hard data, the field needs to be examined for about two to three years to understand behavior of the reservoir in terms of reservoir connectivity, its boundary and presence of aquifer, if any.
Since its a low permeable and heavy oil reservoir, recovery can be improved by pressure maintenance and reducing viscosity of the heavy oil (avg. =9cp). Technology like Miscible CO2 Injection and steam injection might be thought over at any future point when field performs commercially.
5.2.2 SE10 WELL
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 30 - Final_180513 Following parameters were used in the model for SE10 well:
Input Considerations Fluid properties In absence of PVT study, standard correlations were used to derive PVT parameters. Reservoir fluid data used in the model are as follows: API Gravity: 34.58 O API Gas Gravity: 0.7 Rs: 25 rm3/sm3 Water salinity: 7,128 ppm Reservoir temperature: 184.82 O F Bo: 1.09 @ reservoir pressure of 1,470.8 psia
The fact that well SE10 is not in self flow. Therefore based on the influx study data of the well SE#10, average reservoir pressure is calculated. Drawdown pressure transient equations are used to calculate average reservoir pressure. From the calculation, estimated average reservoir pressure for SE-10 area was close to 1470.8 psia (Table 5.2.1.d Annexure IV).
Relative permeability curves were generated from Corey functions (Corey co-efficient: gas 6, oil/water 3, oil/gas 3 and water 4) and the rock compressibility was calculated from Newmens formula for a silty- sandstone of porosity 0.06. Calculated rock compressibility was estimated to 3x10 -6 psi -1 .
Fluid saturations In absence of capillary pressure data, log-based well-average saturation was used for populating initial saturations in the model.
Grid & Rock Properties There was no core data available for study. As an analogue, Poro-Perm relations from equivalent Kalol formation core from GSPC-operated Tarapur-6 oil field were used to populate permeability in the reservoir model.
However, average porosity and NTG were taken from geo-cellular static model. Reservoir model consists of 17x54x103 grid cells with an average cell size of 50x50m.
Initialized Oil Estimate The static estimate of oil inplace (1.15 MMBBL) was initialized to 1.20 MMBBL and thus fairly holding on comparable terms.
Simulation Results & Discussions Even though well SE#10 is not self flow tried matching the well influx rates & pressure data. During the process, well capacity (Kh) was modified by varying absolute rock permeability Kx, Ky, Kz and relative permeability (Krw & Kro).
Fluid production was forecast by depletion drive and therefore recovery would mainly depend on total reservoir compressibility (Oil + Dissolved Gas + Water + Rock Compressibility).
Production Strategies Case 1: SE10 existing well High drawdown is required due to low perm reservoir. The well needs to be produced by SRP since inception.
Since reservoir was modeled under depletion drive, oil recovery was achieved 2.46%. Predicted Production profile for 15 years is given in the (Table 5.2.1.e Annexure IV & Fig.- 5.2.2.i).
Periodic build-up pressure monitoring needs to be carried out which would help to make the material balance calculations & hence to find the well reservoir drainage area & contributing STOOIP.
Discussions This study is at a very preliminary stage. Model needs to be updated after acquiring one to two years of production data to give better prediction. As PVT data is not available, efforts need to be put in place to acquire Flash Liberation, Differential Liberation and Separator Test performed on the reservoir fluid samples to minimize the uncertainty. As core data is not available, SCAL data for facies analogues in GSPC- operated oil fields needs to be acquired. This would help fine-tune the relative perm and capillary pressure data to match with the historical production data.
Oil Recovery by depletion drive has been predicated only 2.46%. Recovery may be improved by secondary recovery mechanism. However in absence of enough hard data, the field needs to be examined for about two to three years to understand behavior of the reservoir in terms of reservoir connectivity, its boundary and presence of aquifer, if any.
Since its a low permeable reservoir, recovery can be improved by pressure maintenance. Technology like Miscible CO2 Injection might be
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 33 - Final_180513 thought over at any future point when field performs commercially.
5.2.3 SE4 CLUSTER WELLS Following parameters were used in the model for SE4 cluster wells:
Input Considerations Fluid properties In absence of PVT study, standard correlations were used to derive PVT parameters. Reservoir fluid data used in the model are as follows: API Gravity: 32.09 O API Gas Gravity: 0.7 BP 1,200 psia (from static pressure gradient of Well SE5) Water salinity: 10,000 ppm Reservoir temperature: 228.14 O F Bo: 1.14 @ reservoir pressure of 2,715.2 psia
Relative permeability curves were generated from Corey functions (Corey co-efficient: gas 6, oil/water 3, oil/gas 3 and water 4) and the rock compressibility was calculated from Newmens formula for a silty- sandstone of porosity 0.13. Calculated rock compressibility was estimated to 3x10 -6 psi -1 .
Fluid saturations In absence of capillary pressure data, static model-derived saturation was used for populating initial saturations in the model. Since best- case had cut-off applied, high case was used as unbiased support.
Grid & Rock Properties
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 34 - Final_180513 There was no core data available for study. As an analogue, well test average permeability of Kx=Ky=0.958 MD was populated in the reservoir model. K/Kh was assumed to be 10%.
However, average porosity and NTG were taken from geo-cellular static model. Reservoir model consists of 39x63x85 grid cells with an average cell size of 50x50m
Initialized Oil Estimate The static estimate of oil inplace (12.384 MMBBL) was initialized to 13.03 MMBBL, which is marginally higher than static estimate.
Simulation Results & Discussions Well capacity (Kh) was modified by varying absolute rock permeability Kx, Ky, Kz and relative permeability (Krw & Kro) to match with the present well test flow rates and pressure data.
Fluid production was forecast by depletion drive and therefore recovery would mainly depend on total reservoir compressibility (Oil + Dissolved Gas + Water + Rock Compressibility).
Production Strategies Case 1: SE4 existing wells High drawdown is required due to low perm reservoir. The wells namely SE4 and SE3 need to be produced by SRP since inception. Since SE5 was fractured, it would be by self flow for nearly three months thereafter production would have to be by SRP. SE2 well seemed to have watered out post hydraulic fracturing. With current evidence supported by sub-commercial nature of pool, the well stands
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 35 - Final_180513 liquidated from current study.
Since reservoir was modeled under depletion drive, oil recovery was achieved 1.82%. Predicted Production profile for 15 years is given in the Table.-5.2.1.f-Annexure IV & Fig.- 5.2.3.ia.
Periodic build-up pressure monitoring needs to be carried out which would help to make the material balance calculations & hence to find the well reservoir drainage area & contributing STOOIP.
Case 2: SE4 existing wells + new horizontal well As per Case 1, at the end of the 15 years of production average reservoir pressure was found to be 1941.8 psia. It means reservoir open area would not be sufficient to deplete the field within 15 years. Already proposed horizontal well with hydraulic fracturing (reviewed by DGH under DoC evaluation) would supplement additional recovery.
Since reservoir was modeled under depletion drive, oil recovery was achieved 4.69%. Predicted Production profile for 15 years is given in the Table.-5.2.1.g-Annexure IV & Fig.- 5.2.3.ib.
Periodic build-up pressure monitoring needs to be carried out which would help to make the material balance calculations & hence to find the well reservoir drainage area & contributing STOOIP.
Discussions This study is at a very preliminary stage. Model needs to be updated after acquiring one to two years of production data to give better prediction. As PVT data is not available, efforts need to be put in place

As core data is not available, SCAL data for facies analogues in GSPC- operated oil fields needs to be acquired. This would help fine-tune the relative perm and capillary pressure data to match with the historical production data.
Presently sealing faults were not considered in the absence of extended well test data. Future production data can provide necessary information regarding sealing nature of fault from material balance calculation or determination of the boundaries from the semi steady state pressure response.
Oil Recovery by depletion drive has been predicated only 4.69%. Recovery may be improved by secondary recovery mechanism. However in absence of enough hard data, the field needs to be examined for about two to three years to understand behavior of the reservoir in terms of reservoir connectivity, its boundary and presence of aquifer, if any.

GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 37 - Final_180513 5.3 DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY The Sanand Part A discoveries are matured into moderate-to-marginal fields. The assessment of sub-surface data and their predictability in absence of limited well test data do not recommend full-scale development at the outset. Keeping this in mind, a cautious strategy is proposed with implementation of initial development plan that would be based on putting existing wells on production at the first instance. Experiencing the field behavior for initial one year, subsequent strategy may be adopted holding commercial side of the project.
5.3.1 INITIAL FIELD DEVELOPMENT All existing oil wells namely SE8, SE8-A1, SE10, SE2, SE5, SE4, and SE3 from north to south of the Part A area are recommended to produce. The operational difficulties associated to production like wax deposit, water cut or GOR may be continuously monitored and matched with prediction so that the model may be reviewed to further chalk out any interim strategy. Such a strategy should continue at least for a year, during which good amount of sub-surface and surface hard data would be gathered and used thereafter to generate a more realistic picture of likely field performance.
5.3.2 SUPPLEMENTARY DEVELOPMENT One horizontal well with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing was proposed by contractor, examined by DGH and duly reviewed by MC. The well was placed in an area towards SE3 well in the south-eastern fringe. The area is proved to be water-free production as evidenced by GSPC-operated adjoining Sanand East field. The well was conceived during submission of Revised DoC (March 2012), demonstrating a fact that such strategy (horizontal section along with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing) would
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 38 - Final_180513 help improve oil recovery from tight siltstone reservoirs. The location (SEH-1) was matured with well path in X-Y shown in the Table No. 5.3.2.a Annexure VI. The location and its proposed fracture path were generated in line with preferential enrichment of hydrocarbon (distribution of HCPV across the study area) with particular reference to local geo-mechanical stress. The well path may be refined after incorporating drillable and completion parameters. After drilling the horizontal section, it would be suitably fractured at 3 to 4 stages to open and drain wider area of reservoir. The well is planned to be drilled during the current fiscal and added to the field after detail production testing.
In a separate scenario while working on SE8 development as described under reservoir simulation section, one new well (SE8-Dev1) was proposed to be drilled as a subsequent strategy for improvement of oil recovery (Fig.- 5.3.2.i). However, it is neither recommended now nor taken into implementation program during the first year of performance review.
Upside Potential Siltstone layers developed in the Kalol Formation was interpreted hydrocarbon bearing. The reservoir is present in all the wells in the adjoining GSPC-operated Sanand East field with LKO (Lowest Known Oil) encountered at a depth of 1258.5m TVDSS. In the well, SE4, this zone is present at a depth of 1186.0m TVDSS and interpreted to be hydrocarbon- bearing. However, the zone at SE2 (at 1201.5m TVDSS) and SE5 (at 1239.0m TVDSS) are considered water-bearing.
Based on well correlation, log analysis and cutting data the interval, 1219-1222m MDRT at well, SE4 is recommended for testing and
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 39 - Final_180513 subsequent development suitably.
5.3.3 PRODUCTION ENGINEERING The oil pools being of marginal nature, produced crude would be managed through well-site storage and tank-transport to private buyers. Owing to differently located, there would be facilities, proposed at the well-sites namely SE8, SE8-A1, SE10 and SE4 Cluster. It was planned that these facilities would be managed independently by operation and maintenance contractors. The facility cost is factored annually on rental basis. A detail overview of facilities is described in the following sections:
Surface Facilities Minimum production facility would be constructed at the above- mentioned well sites for the handling of produced crude. As production potential is considered marginal, production is envisaged with the help of suitable artificial lift to be used only for 3 to 4 hrs on daily basis. No heating system would be maintained to treat the produced emulsified crude, which is planned to be sold in open market.
Handling of Produced Fluid Produced hydrocarbons from well would first enter to 4-inch over ground oil flow line to oil header:
- From the header, fluid (both oil and gas) flows into the separator for separation of oil and gas - Gas is piped to the gas flow line after measurement through gas meter and thereafter to the flaring point for controlled flaring - While oil flows into the over-head storage tank for measurement and

In case, crude gets congealed, steaming will be appropriately done to make the crude mobile for lifting

The diagram for surface facility and Layout for Proposed EPS is as shown (Fig. -5.3.3.ia & 5.3.3.ib).
Revised Cost Projection While planning the facilities across four well sites, it was noted that there had been considerable variation of plan costs from what estimated during submission of Revised DoC (March 2012). Following paragraph explains the revision as worked out during current estimate:
In a major change order, the earlier planned costs towards crude oil transportation to ONGC CTF, crude handling and processing by ONGC were dropped on account of proposed sale of crude to local buyers directly. Similarly earlier-proposed rental on storage tanks was also removed as current proposal is in place to erect the tanks as a part of EPS facility creation at four well-sites. Number of EPS is now revised to 4 from 3 nos. while SRPs increased to 7 from 4 nos. The revised CAPEX on facility expenditure is now US$ 2.91mn, revised from earlier projected figure of 0.9mn as illustrated in Table No. 5.3.2.b Annexure VI.
On operating expenditure, major revision was towards land rental, operation and maintenance contract, steaming charges to emptying tank for fresh storage and hot-oil circulation in wells to ease out congealing of crude. The streaming charges would be new, as gas availability from wells is uncertain as per current studies. The revised cost estimate is given in the Annexure VI.
5.3.4 PROPOSED MINING LEASE Two non-contiguous areas around SE8 Cluster and SE10-SE4 Cluster wells, admeasuring 11.2 sq km and 18.2 sq km respectively were
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 42 - Final_180513 demarcated (Fig.-5.3.4i) and proposed as Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) Area for development of Sanand Part A oil discoveries. The area was based on all sub-surface support and surface accessibility/ logistics. The areas were also deliberated and proposed in the MC meeting dated 23/3/11 under Agenda#4 (Annexure VIII). The matter was noted by MC recommending that it would be taken up at the time of evaluation of FDP.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 43 - Final_180513 5.4 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Economic analysis was carried out in close conformity with workings as presented during DoC submission. However, as it was explained earlier, consequent upon upward revision of planned costs, workings were recast to accommodate latest costing to bring out a more realistic case. Two scenarios were conceived as under:
Scenario 1: Absolute economics considering past costs for Sanand Part A Scenario 2: Incremental economics considering only new costs
5.4.1 INPUTS & ASSUMPTIONS Production profile as available from three clusters (SE8, SE10 and SE4) under MC-recommended variant (existing wells + proposed horizontal well) was combined and used as principal element to cash flow analysis as illustrated in the below table:

Project Costs As per unaudited expenditure as of 31/3/13, total reported past expenditure in the block amounts to approximately US$ 46.78 mn (Annexure VI). The project is the second development after Miroli-1&6 (Part B) which was accounted for part-expenditure of US$26.59 mn. The present project (i.e. Sanand Part A) considered the remaining unaccounted past costs of US$ 20.19 mn. The development cost of US$ 10.11 million (escalated from DoC-planned cost of US$ 8.1 million) includes mainly drilling, completion, hydraulic fracturing and testing of a horizontal well in addition to costs towards facility creation (EPS) and installation of artificial lifts. Regarding OPEX, the inputs were taken as described under Sec.-5.3.3 (Revised Cost Projection). Given below is the summary table of CAPEX/OPEX load on the project.
5.4.2 ANALYSIS & OUTCOMES CAPEX Assumptions Total Exploration Cost (US$MM) in Part A (Sanand Area) 20.19 Total Development Cost (US$MM) in Part A (Sanand Area) 10.11 OPEX Assumptions Production Cost, US$/BBL (Minimum-Most Likely-Maximum) 25-30-35
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 46 - Final_180513 The project was predicted for 15 years field life with Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) of 2.88% of best-estimated oil inplace of 24.75 MMBBL.
Economic Outcomes Two scenarios of OPEX were worked out based on oil price of US$80/bbl, US$90/bbl and US$100/bbl. A discount factor of 10% was assumed to run the economic model. It was shown that OPEX at current assessment was averaged at US$33/bbl and economic analysis was carried out under three OPEX scenarios, US$25/bbl, US$30/bbl and US$35/bbl. As earlier narrated, CAPEX was considered for two scenarios (i) considering past exploration costs pertaining to Part A (Sanand Area) of the block, CB- ONN-2002/3 and (ii) without considering past costs (only forward development costs were considered). Future development costs would include cost of drilling of new horizontal well and creation of production facilities. Following tables illustrate the economic outcomes of the first scenarios:

The fact that estimated NPV did not yield to positive outcomes, alternate method was carried out under second scenario considering all future costs. The given table below illustrates such calculation under various oil price and OPEX assumptions:-
The budgetary provision for future investments was not accounted under WP&B FY 2013-14 and this would be taken into consideration while approving the project at JV level. As earlier said, the future costs would be

Revision to Model post TC Meeting dated 13/5/13 The FDP was presented to JV in Delhi on 13/5/13 (Participants List, Annexure IX) in order to deliberate the study by Operator towards expediting the signing of OC Resolution. During the deliberation, it was agreed to re-look the Economic Model based on internal reviews by JOGPL and HPCL. The other partner, GGR duly concurred to the OC Resolution dated 8/5/13. Both HPCL and JOGPL were provided working sheets of GSPCs assumptions to complete their respective review. Subsequently, HPCL confirmed on 15/5/13 to have accepted the GSPCs working. GSPC has reviewed JOGPLs alternate methodology of factoring past costs taking contractors revenue to be equal to sum of cost oil and profit oil. GSPC in its working has considered this analyzing cash flow by appropriately loading the past costs at the start of the project. Operator accordingly maintained its working, however updated the assumptions of taxation and project pasts costs. It may be noted that the block as a whole has as of 31/3/13 unaudited accounts incurred US$46.78mn, out of which Sanand part A should be accounted for US$20.19mn, the remaining amount of US$26.59 was duly accounted for Part B during FDP work for Miroli-1& 6 oil field.
Replying to other queries by JV on optimization of production costs, Operator emphasized that the cost on management of waxy crude, pumps, sand control etc are of preliminary assessment and reduction of such services are indeed factored under low case estimate of OPEX (US$25/BBL). Similarly discount on account of waxy nature of crude stays
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 49 - Final_180513 in built within crude oil sensitivity analysis (US$80-100/BBL).
Operator recommends that the report in its present form may be submitted to DGH and should it be necessary, further discussion may be held by JV with DGH at the time of their evaluation.
GSPC-JOGPL-HPCL-GGR CB-ONN-2002/3 | FDP | Sanand Part-A - 50 - Final_180513 CONCLUSION The reservoir, particularly in the SE4 cluster is sufficiently tight and discrete with poor petro-physical properties. Despite the fact, wells could not be assessed through a longer production testing spell due to contractual constraints as a result, the inputs to dynamic modeling were biased more to standard correlations than to hard data sets. The fact that the oil pools are marginal to moderate compared to envisaged reserves, a cautious development strategy was formulated as an initial plan for development. Commercially, it was opined that the project would be viable with a pre-tax IRR of 73% with NPV of US$ 9.78mn assuming only future development costs (US$10.11mn). It is recommended that the field be allowed to produce for a year to acquire more hard data, minimize initial uncertainties of field development and monetize by recovering the past project costs through initial production. Implementation of high-end technology like horizontal drilling with multi-stage hydraulic fracturing would indeed come at a cost but hold promise of production enhancement in an area which was proved by performance of analogue GSPC-operated field, next to the SE4 cluster. Given the disparity between current estimate of oil inplace and MC-reviewed DoC figures, the present study attempted to best-capture the reservoir properties through geo-cellular modeling supplemented with reservoir simulation study. With the commissioning of the field, the work could be re-visited after a year of commercial production and at that point of time, a more rigorous assessment may be made on project economics, which could form the basis for drilling and testing of proposed new horizontal well.
Pursuant to PSC Article 10.7, the report, entitled Field Development Plan for Sanand Part A Oil Discoveries is intended to be submitted to DGH upon OC approval per JOA of the block. Operator hereby recognizes that all costs proposed under the Plan would be put up to JV towards finalization of necessary budget for implementation programme.
