Reservoir characterization as a risk-reduction tool at the Nash Draw Pool

Recently acquired geological, geophysical, and engineering data at the Nash Draw Brushy Canyon Pool revealed that the initial reservoir characterizati on was too simplistic to capture the critical features of this complex Dela ware formation. A new reservoir description provides sufficient detail to i ndicate that compartmentalization exists in the Brushy Canyon interval. Thi s new reservoir description is being used to identify "sweet spots" for a d evelopment drilling program as well as to optimize reservoir management str ategies. This paper presents recent results of an integrated reservoir char acterization effort that is being used at Nash Draw as a risk reduction too l.
