Comparison of Geomechanical Models obtained from DInSAR with existing model generated from well logs for the Lower Lagunillas-07 (LGINF-07) Reservoir in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela
Keywords:
DInSAR, subsidence, compaction, geomechanical characterization, geopressure
Abstract
The LGINF-07 reservoir, located in the Lagunillas Lake field within the Lake Maracaibo basin, covers approximately 200.000 m2. This reservoir exhibits stratigraphic complexity and contains 18° API crude oil, representing 73 % of the total original oil in place (OOIP). The predominant production mechanism is rock compaction, which has led to progressive surface subsidence in the area of interest. To update the monitoring of surface subsidence, the DInSAR technique was applied to all oil platforms. Subsidence values were compared with production values in the areas most affected by this phenomenon. An updated 1D geomechanical model was generated by combining DInSAR results with the geopressure model, dynamic elastic mechanical parameters, and the stress field and magnitudes present in the reservoir, utilizing recent petrophysical and sonic logs from well LL-4034 and the geomechanical characterization of core samples from well LL-3548. The results indicated that the LGINF-07 reservoir has a normal stress regime (σV > σH > σh). This new model was compared with the existing geomechanical model, generated from correlations, resulting in a more accurate model.
