Abstract

ABSTRACT An integrated subsurface engineering study was undertaken to examine ways to optimize high cost, technically-difficult P1iocene/P1eistocene turbidite developments in the Gulf of Mexico. This study utilized a multidisciplinary approach in which both open and cased hole data was applied to quantifying and qualifying downhole flow performance in different turbidite facies. Data from Produce While Drilling (PWD) operations and Pressure Volume Temperature (PVT) tests proved to be extremely valuable when combined with base wireline logs in delineating the production characteristics through time.
