 PREFACE

 The economic value of a well is based on how much

oil can that well produce. This thing is what reduce
the water-flow during the oil production.
 There are some factors that caused the high
percentage of water cut, those are; well maturity,
fracturing factor, and water which moving vertically
to the production layer.
 METODOLOGY

 Started on literature study (to learn the critical production rate

using Chierici Method)
 Formulation and data related to this research
 Field orientation to know field review of research to be conducted
 Data collection in the form of fluid production rate data, reservoir
data, well mechanical data, and well drainage data
 Followed by data processing (begins with making a well history
using fluid production rate data by making a graph of increase in
water content over time to see significant increase in water
content)
 After which make the Inflow Performance curve Relationship (to
see the characteristics of the reservoir by using pressure against
production rate)
 DISCUSSION

 Basically water coning is a problem in the reservoir

associated with the movement of water to the
perforation hole.
 The evaluation of this issue is more related to the
parameters related to the movement of water in the
reservoir and also by evaluating the moisture content
over a period of time.
 Evaluation of water coning problem includes 4 wells
at Ramba field location PT. Pertamina EP Asset 1 ( X-41
well, X-95 well, X-98 well, and X-99 well).
 In this study method that has been used to calculate
the critical production rate is the Cherici Method
approach.
 the result of different critical production rates for
each well, then the critical rate of production is
compared with the actual production rate.
 After knowing the wells experience water coning
problem, followed by the analysis of system selection
(method) proper handling in overcoming water
coning problem.
 However, based on the results of the evaluation that
has been done, a suitable method for handling water
coning problem in field ramba is recompletion of well
and artificial barrier.
 While the artificial barrier is a deliberate barrier
created to prevent water flow along with oil into the
wellbore due to water coning.
 Such artificial barriers in the form of solid barrier or in
the form of fluid or plastic, bitumen and cement can
help to prevent the occurrence of water coning.
 CONCLUSION

 Results of the analysis has been done to prove on

field Ramba PT. Pertamina EP 1 got 4 wells having
water coning problem.
 This water coning problem can occur as the actual
production rate exceeds the critical production rate.
 The proper way of handling water coning is by
recompiling wells and adding infil wells.
