The Bentley Field, UK North Sea, Block 9/3b: Delivering a commercial flow rate in a heavy-oil field.

Barny Brennan (Xcite Energy Resources Ltd)

The Bentley field is situated in Block 9/3b on the East Shetland Platform in the UK sector of the North Sea. It contains around 600 MMbbl in-place of heavy (10 to 12o), viscous oil, within a four-way dip closure at Upper Palaeocene, Dornoch sandstone, reservoir level. The field is defined by 6 well penetrations and 3D seismic.

The field was discovered in 1977 by Amocos 9/3-1 well and was further appraised in the mid-1980s with Conocos 9/3-2A and 9/3-4 wells. None of these earlier wells succeeded in flowing oil to surface and the acreage was relinquished and remained unlicensed until 2003 when Xcite Energy was awarded the acreage as a Promote License in the 21st Round.

Xcite raised the funds for an appraisal well and converted to a traditional license prior to drilling the vertical 9/3b-5 well in 2007. The well confirmed an 87 feet oil column and was the first on the field to flow hydrocarbons to surface. The well flowed at a modest rate of 125 bopd (due to extremely high skin) but provided a wealth of reservoir, fluid and flow data that convinced Xcite that commercial flow rates were achievable on Bentley and that an economic field development would follow.

Prior to undertaking a development Xcite decided that a further appraisal well was required in order to: a) physically demonstrate commercial rates, b) demonstrate that horizontal drilling in friable heavy-oil reservoir was achievable and c) provide data from which to better design a subsequent development.

In October to December 2010 Xcite drilled, completed and tested the 9/3b-6 pilot hole and 9/3b-6Z horizontal sidetrack. The horizontal bore resulted in approximately 1800 feet of excellent reservoir section with 100% net to gross. The subsequent multi-rate flow test achieved a final stabilised rate of 2,900 bopd which was at the highest end of expectations and more than was required to show commerciality. This has paved the way for the field to enter into a staged development.

This presentation focuses on how the successful flow test was delivered and in particular how geosteering was used to deliver over 1800 ft of high quality reservoir section within the unconsolidated Dornoch reservoir.
