Abstract
Whicher Range (WR) field, located in the Southern Perth Basin, is a large, low permeability and very heterogeneous gas reservoir. It consists of stacked and isolated lenses of sand separated by shale layers. There are five wells in WR gas field, which are drilled mainly as vertical well using water based mud in over-balanced conditions, and completed as cased-hole perforated. Figure 4.1 shows location of the WR wells. Some faults in this field have divided the reservoir into different compartments. The wells WR 1, 2, 4 and 5 are drilled in the west reservoir compartment, and WR 3 was drilled in the east reservoir compartment. Total gas in place estimations range from 1.5 to 5 TCF for the field [1].
