Abstract
A re-appraisal programme consisting of new appraisal wells, extensive coring and new 3D seismic has been necessary in order to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of the Frigg field. Having proved a strong water drive and a heterogeneous water entry into the gas zone, studies were focused on parameters important to sweep efficiency and final recovery: initial gas-in-place, residual gas saturation, heterogeneities and permeability barriers. The delineation of the permeability barriers and attempts to monitor the water rise outside the well control area required close cooperation between geophysicists, geologists and reservoir engineers. Some of the techniques applied came close to their limit of feasibility.
