Abstract
The construction of the A-2 well is considered challenging because it is a horizontal offshore HPHT well in shallow water. In fact, the well had a programmed target to reach the carbonatic rocks of the Upper Jurassic Kimmerdgian age, a light oil producing reservoir of complex type and low porosity, consequently, to select the best intervals with oil presence and define the location of water–oil contact was vital to avoid unnecessary deepening saving additional costs.
Being the data interpretation of the geochemical profile in the JSK zone of main importance for reservoir characterization, allowing to determine prospective intervals in a timely manner as a key task. The information from the lithological description was integrated into the geochemical profiles, where intervals of interest are related to hydrocarbon impregnations, fluorescence and visual porosity of each one of the samples.
