Abstract
The De Wijk gas field was discovered in 1949 and commercial gas production started in 1955. The GIIP (Gas Initially In Place) is currently estimated at 19.8 x 109 m3. The field is unique in the Netherlands as it contains gas in Tertiary, Cretaceous, Triassic, Permian and Carboniferous reservoirs. The main gas accumulation is contained in Triassic claystones, where post-depositional leaching of anhydrite has significantly enhanced the reservoir properties. 3D seismic attribute measurement techniques show the effects of gas fill, sand distribution and leaching in the various reservoirs.
