Sensitive Reservoir Reporting Procedures FORM MMS-127,
"Sensitive Reservoir Report” (SRI)

Sensitive reservoir parameters are documented on Form MMS-127, formerly “Request for Maximum Efficient Rate" (MER).  This form has been renamed Form MMS-127, "Sensitive Reservoir Information Report" (SRI) and revised to more accurately reflect its purpose (NTL No. 98-23).

The Minerals Management Service (MMS) developed this document to assist you in preparing Sensitive Reservoir reports, and to make both of our jobs easier. Please contact us if you have any questions on either the use of this document or any of our functions. We will endeavor to answer your questions completely or put you in contact with the person who can. You may copy any portion or all of this document for your use.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 Statement (PRA). The collection of information referred to in this document provides guidance on reporting information requirements in 30 CFR 250, subparts A and K, and various MMS forms. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection requirements in these regulations and on the referenced forms. The OMB control numbers are 1010-0114 (subpart A regulations and form MMS-1123), 1010-0041 (subpart K regulations), 1010-0045 (form MMS-124), 1010-0046 (form MMS-125), 1010-0039 (form MMS-126), and 1010-0018 (form MMS-127). This document does not impose additional information collection requirements subject to the PRA.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The 30 CFR 250 Subpart K Regulations provide for the prevention of waste and conservation of natural resources of the Outer Continental Shelf and protection of correlative rights therein.

Regulation 30 CFR 250.1102 (a)(1) requires that an operator submit Form MMS-127 for each producing sensitive reservoir, and Regulation 30 CFR 250.1101(d) states that all oil reservoirs with associated-gas-caps be initially classified as sensitive.  Submit the original plus two copies (three copies if return receipt is required) of Form MMS-127.  Mark one of the copies "Public Information," with confidential Item Nos. 124-168 blanked out.  A copy of Form MMS-127 can be obtained by calling the Reservoir Analysis Unit.  It is also available on the Internet at http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/mmsforms/frmindx.html, as a Portable Document File (.pdf) with an overlay or in Rich Text Format (.rtf) for downloading to a word processor.

ESTABLISHMENT OF INITIAL SRI

Submit Form MMS-127, for each producing sensitive reservoir within 45 days of discovering that a reservoir is sensitive. Also, submit a reservoir structure map along with any other appropriate supporting information (i.e., log sections, well tests, pressure surveys).

If lease operatorship is transferred, the new operator must submit Form MMS-127 for all sensitive reservoirs (even though they may currently have an approved SRI). We will consider the new operator's form as an initial submittal (a reservoir structure map is required).

The effective date of the SRI submittal for a reservoir will be the first day of the month in which the Reservoir Analysis Unit receives Form MMS-127.

All other oil reservoirs and all gas reservoirs are initially classified as nonsensitive. In certain cases, MMS will limit individual well rates via Form MMS-126, "Well Potential Test Report", to ensure maximization of ultimate recovery.

SUPPORTING DATA

Provide the following with all SRI forms (including the Annual Review):

  1. Update all data to reflect current reservoir conditions. Therefore, for all SRI revisions, update items that have changed, including volumetric and production data. Also, include the date of the current measured pressure (if required annually) or, if granted a departure, the date the departure was granted. A reservoir designated oil w/associated-gas cap requires both sets of parameters (oil and gas) along with all other basic data.
  2. Submit the most recent reservoir structure map (original plus one copy) for initial submittals or if the reservoir has been remapped or renamed. Show on the map the field, operator, wells (with well names and reservoir penetration points), reservoir name (including fault block designation), correct scale, all depth contours and hydrocarbon limits (i.e., gas/oil contact, lowest known gas, lowest known oil, oil/water contact, etc.). Report all reservoir penetration points and hydrocarbon limits in subsea depths. Also note how the hydrocarbon limits were determined (i.e., gas/oil contact as seen in Well A-1, oil/water contact estimated from bottom of sand plus one sand thickness).
  3. Give a brief description of any enhanced recovery operation activity or plans in the remarks section of Form MMS-127.
  4. Fill in both the oil and gas reserve parameters in Item Nos. 124-187 for oil reservoirs with a gas cap. If such a reservoir has a completion that is producing an associated-gas-cap (by virtue of a well completed in the gas cap, across the gas/oil contact, or for a well in which gas coning is occurring), you will need prior approval to produce such a well. Refer to the section below titled "Special Reporting Circumstances."
  5. Include a list of all active completions (the number of completions in the reservoir that are currently open to production; these completions can be currently producing or shut-in). This list should correspond with Item No. 175.
  6. Form MMS-126, "Well Potential Test Report” is required with initial Form MMS-127 submittals. Submit Form MMS-126 to the Rate Control Unit.
REVISION OF SRI
  1. Submit Form MMS-127 with the appropriate supporting information as previously noted to propose a revised SRI.
  2. Review Form MMS-127 at least once a year (12 months from the effective date of the last submittal) and submit a revised Form MMS-127 with the appropriate supporting information as previously noted.
  3. Submit Form MMS-127 with appropriate supporting information to request the reclassification of a reservoir from sensitive to nonsensitive and/or request approval for termination.
SPECIAL REPORTING CIRCUMSTANCES
  1. Gas Cap Production Requests:
    According to 30 CFR 250.1100, 30 CFR 250.1101, and NTL No. 98-23, MMS assesses reservoir management scenarios for production of oil reservoirs with associated gas caps. Customarily, we make this assessment prior to an operator’s beginning gas cap production operations for two reasons. First, the lessee/operator is assured that it has approval before committing or expending capital. Second, MMS is assured that you will follow sound reservoir management practices to maximize ultimate recovery. MMS traditionally interprets ultimate recovery as "maximum oil" recovery by conserving reservoir production energy that the gas cap may provide. We recognize, however, that ultimate recovery may be measured by a number of standards and we have granted variance from this traditional interpretation by approving other reservoir production proposals on a case-by-case basis.

    Listed below are the types of data we use to assess gas cap production proposals. If you did not generate some of the data listed to make your internal assessment, submit what you did use and a brief explanation of why this was sufficient to support your operational plans. If you request that MMS return this information, we will do so upon completion of the study.

    • Development Overview (appropriate in body of letter)
      • Proposed completion operations
      • Brief geologic review
      • Listing of all wells that penetrate subject reservoir and status of each well
      • Explanation with supporting data, as to why the proposed completion scenario will enhance ultimate recovery
    • Geological Data
      • Depth structure maps with annotated penetration points (SS) for all wells in the reservoir. Include present and original fluid contacts, reservoir boundaries (i.e., faults, sand pinchouts, etc.) and labeled well locations.
      • Oil and gas isopach maps
      • Log sections annotated with top and base of reservoir sand, fluid contacts, and net pay for all existing penetrations.
      • Accessory data, if relevant (i.e., cross-section, sidewall core analysis, petrophysical data)
      • Seismic interpretation used to support decision. Include seismic amplitude maps, attribute maps, and seismic traverses or lines.
    • Engineering Data
      • Original and remaining in-place and recoverable oil and gas reserve data, and data and assumptions used in calculating the reserves
      • If a material balance study was done on the reservoir, include the reservoir parameters used along with the results of the material balance.
      • Complete reservoir pressure history
      • If a reservoir simulation was run, include the reservoir parameters used in the reservoir simulation, the history matches, and the prediction runs (including runs with gas cap production and without gas cap production).
      • Detailed economic analysis
         
  2. Commingling Requests:
    Regulation 30 CFR 250.1106 provides for permitting commingling of production of two or more separate reservoirs within a common wellbore. If MMS approves commingling (see NTL No. 99-G19 and NTL No. 99-G20), and determines that the combined reservoir is sensitive, submit WPT Form MMS-126 and SRI Form MMS-127 for this commingled production. Include all wells completed in the reservoirs in the active completions portion of SRI Form MMS-127. Submit the most recent structure map(s) for the combined reservoirs with the above forms for the commingled reservoir. Provide a single set (average, weighted average, etc.) of reservoir parameters. Production data Item Nos. 169-187 should be the sum of the production from the commingled reservoirs. If both gas and oil zones are involved, classify the combined reservoir oil-with-associated-gas-cap and provide the appropriate reservoir parameters. Submit SRI Form MMS-127 for each reservoir unit or composite unit, showing all wells completed in the unit and the operator of each well. Include the most recent structure map (if the map has changed since the last submittal) along with the SRI. Designate commingled reservoirs using approved MMS nomenclature. The reservoir name is in the MMS downhole commingling approval letter.

131. Ag (acres):  The current areal extent of the gas cap portion of the reservoir expressed in acres.

132. Ao (acres): The areal extent of the original oil zone expressed in acres.

133. Vo (acre-feet) (Item No. 132 x Item No. 136): The volume of the original oil-bearing portion of the reservoir.

135.Ho (feet):  The gross thickness of the original oil zone.

136. ho (feet):  The net thickness of the original oil zone.

NOTE: These thicknesses are found for individual wells from well logs.  The average reservoir gross and net oil thicknesses can then be calculated by:

Ho = (sum of H)/N or ho = (sum of h)/N where

H = gross thickness (ft) h = net or pay thickness (ft) N = number of producing completions

137. Hg(feet):  Same as Item No. 135 above except in the current gas zone.

138. hg (feet):  Same as Item No. 136 above except in the current gas zone.

139. Øe (fraction):  The effective porosity is a measure of the interconnected void space in a reservoir rock.  Porosity is the pore volume per unit volume of formation; it is the fraction of the total volume of a sample that is occupied by pores or voids.

140. Sw (fraction):  The connate or irreducible water saturation is the water saturation that is indigenous to a particular reservoir rock.  This water saturation will exist after depletion of the reservoir.  (Water saturation is the fraction of the pore volume that contains formation water.)  Connate (irreducible) water saturation may be determined from electric logs or cores.

141. Sg (fraction):  Gas saturation present in the gas cap.

Sg = 1 - Swg - Sor
Swg = water saturation present in the gas cap (Item No. 140)
Sor = residual oil saturation

142. So (fraction): Original oil column saturation present in the oil rim.

So = 1 - Swo
Swo = initial water saturation present in the oil rim (Item No. 140)

143. Boi (Units are in RB/STB, ex: Boi = 1.327): The initial oil formation volume factor is the reservoir volume in barrels that one stock tank barrel occupies in the reservoir.  Boi is reported from a PVT analysis of the reservoir fluid.  If not measured, it may be estimated from correlations related to dissolved gas-oil ratio and temperature or from PVT analysis of the reservoir fluids of an adjacent reservoir (RB/STB).

144. Bgi (Units are in cu.ft.  /SCF, ex: Bgi = .0025 cu.ft.  /SCF): The initial/current gas formation volume factor is the volume occupied in a gas phase at reservoir pressure (P) and temperature (T), by a unit volume of gas at standard pressure and temperature.  The following equation is used to calculate Bgi (cu.ft.  /SCF) using standard conditions of 15.025 psi and 60 oF.

Bgi = .02829 ZT / P (cu.ft.  / SCF)
Z = Gas deviation factor at reservoir conditions (estimated from correlations related to pressure and temperature)
T = Temperature at reservoir conditions (oR = oF + 460)
P = Pressure at reservoir conditions (psia)

NOTE: As the reservoir commences production, replaced Bgi (the initial gas formation volume factor) with Bg (the gas formation volume factor at present conditions).

Volumetric Method for Calculating Oil or Gas "in place": Be sure data required for volumetrics (Item Nos. 124-155) calculate to initial oil in place (Item No. 145) and current gas in place (Item No. 146) and are updated at every submittal to reflect a current picture of the reservoir.  To do so, use basic data numbers or volumetric formulas listed below in Item Nos.145 and 146.

NOTE: If reserves have been re-estimated since the initial SRI submittal, enter new reserve figures and indicate how these reserve figures were arrived at (i.e., decline curve analyses, material balance, reservoir simulations).

145. N = (7758 x Item No. 133 x Item No. 139 x Item No. 142) / Item No. 143  (Units in STB)
                        OR
N = 7758 (A) h (Ø) So (1/Boi):
N = Initial oil in place (STB)
A = Area of initial oil zone (AC)
h = Initial net height of oil zone (ft)
Ø = Porosity (Fraction)
So = Initial oil saturation (Fraction)
Boi = Initial oil formation volume factor (RBL/STB)

146. G = (43560 x Item No. 134 x Item No. 139 x Item No. 141) / Item No. 144   (Units in SCF)
                        OR
G = 43560 (A) h (Ø) Sg (1/Bgi):
G = Current gas in place (SCF)
A = Area of current gas zone (AC)
h = Net height of current gas zone (ft)
Ø = Porosity (Fraction)
Sg = Initial gas saturation (Fraction)    
Bgi = Current gas formation volume factor (cu.ft.  /SCF)

NOTE:  G should reflect current free gas in place.  Example: for initial conditions: G = initial free gas in place in the gas cap for annual reviews or revisions: G = initial gas plus evolved unproduced solution gas plus injected gas that was migrated to the gas cap

147. Kh (millidarcies): Horizontal permeability is a measure of the ability of a reservoir rock to transmit fluids in a horizontal direction. Horizontal permeability is directly measured in the lab using core samples or indirectly by the following methods: Perm. vs. porosity correlations, capillary pressure correlations, flow and pressure build-up tests, and from resistivity and porosity logs using empirical correlations.

148. Kv (millidarcies):  The vertical permeability is a measure of the ability of a reservoir rock to transmit fluids in a vertical direction. The vertical permeability is obtained using the same procedures as the horizontal permeability.

149. Average Well Depth (ft. Subsea)  = The sum of (T+B) (ft) /N

T = True vertical depth at the top of productive pay minus kelly bushing elevation. (The kelly bushing is Item No. 13 on MMS-331, and found on log heading).
B = True vertical depth at base of productive pay minus kelly bushing elevation.
N = Number of producing completions.

150. Rio (fraction):  The estimated oil recovery efficiency is the estimated fractional recovery of in-place hydrocarbons.  This recovery efficiency depends, among other factors, on drive mechanism, structure, and well locations.

51. Rig (fraction):  The estimated gas recovery efficiency is the estimated fractional recovery of in-place hydrocarbons. This recovery efficiency depends, among other factors, on drive mechanism, structure, and well locations.

152. RioN (STB):   For oil: RioN = Item No. 152 = N x Item No. 150 (STB)

NOTE:  The ultimate recoverable oil reserve is the product of Item Nos. 145 and 150. In the latter stages of development, it may be determined from production performance.

153. RigG (MCF):  For gas: RigG = Item No. 153 = G x Item No. 151 (MCF)

NOTE:  The ultimate recoverable gas reserve is the product of Item Nos. 146 and 151. In the latter stages of development, it may be determined from production performance.

154. Np(2)/N (Fraction): = Item No. 154 = Item No. 182 divided by N

155. Gp(2)/G (Fraction):  = Item No. 155 = (Item No. 184 divided by G) times 1000

NOTE: Use basic data formulas above to get depletion of reserves-in-place. This item can exceed 1.0 in oil with associated gas-cap reservoirs since associated gas and condensate are not included in Item No. 146.

FLUID ANALYSIS DATA

156. API(Degrees):  The API gravity is a measure of the specific gravity of the produced liquid (specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the stock tank liquid as compared to the density of water at standard conditions).  API(Degrees, API) =141.5 -131.5 x Specific gravity of fluid at 60 oF

157. Specific gravity: (Fraction)  The ratio of the density of a gas to the density of air at standard conditions (60 oF and atmospheric pressure). This can be calculated from a gas analysis or can be estimated.

158. Rsi(SCF/STB):   In the absence of gas liberation tests on a bottomhole sample, the gas-oil ratio from production (Item No. 178 X 1000 divided by Item No. 176, from initial SRI submittal only) is used for the initial solution gas-oil ratio.

159. µoi (centipoise, cp):  The initial viscosity for a reservoir liquid is normally reported from a pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) test. If PVT test was not conducted, this item is not required.

160. µo (centipoise, cp):  The reservoir oil viscosity at the current reservoir pressure is obtained in the same manner as the initial oil viscosity.

161. Tavg(oF at datum depth):  The average reservoir temperature is found by averaging the temperature of wells within the reservoir.

162. Pi (psig):   The lessee must conduct a static bottom-hole pressure survey for each new reservoir. This survey will be conducted within three months after the date of first continuous production. The pressure should be referred to a common reservoir datum depth (Item No. 168).

163. Pi Date:  The date the initial static bottom-hole pressure survey was conducted.

164. Pws(psig):   For each producing reservoir with three or more producing completions, a correct static bottom-hole pressure must be conducted annually on key wells that are representative of the entire reservoir in order to establish the average reservoir pressure.

165. Pws Date:  The date the pressure was recorded.

166. Pb (psig): The bubble-point pressure (Pb) for an undersaturated oil reservoir is the pressure at which bubbles of free gas first appear. Pb is reported from a PVT analysis or estimated from correlations related to pressure, temperature, API gravity, and specific gravity.

167. Pd (psig):   The dew point pressure (Pd) for a gas reservoir is the pressure at which liquids begin to condense.

168. Datum Depth: (ft. Subsea = ft. TVD - KB elevation)  Reference depth for all bottomhole pressures in the reservoir.

PRODUCTION DATA

169. GOR (SCF/STB) :  The gas-oil ratio for a specified month (include date on form) is the total monthly gas production from all wells divided by the total monthly oil production from all wells in the reservoir, multiplied by 1000.

170. GOR Date:  The year and month for which the latest GOR in Item No. 169 was calculated.

171. WOR (STBW/STBO) : The water-oil ratio for a specified month (include date on form) is the total monthly water production for all producing wells divided by the total monthly oil production from all wells in the reservoir.

172. WOR Date:  The year and month for which the latest WOR in Item No. 171 was calculated.

173. NO. of Injection Completions:  The number of completions that are currently injecting fluids into the reservoir.

174. NO. of Abandoned Completions:  The number of completions in the reservoir that have been squeezed and plugged and abandoned per 30 CFR 250.702. (Does not include shut-in wells.)

175. NO. of Active Completions:  the numbers of completions in the reservoir that are currently open to production (non-squeezed); these completions can be currently producing or shut-in. These are the completions that must be shown in the "Active Completions in Reservoir" list (Item No. 115).

176. Np(1), 178. Gp(1), 180. Wp(1):  The cumulative oil, gas, and water, respectively, produced from the reservoir at the time of last submission (STBO, MCFG, BBLW).  If oil and condensate are produced from the same reservoir, include the total oil and condensate number here, but list the amount of produced condensate in the remarks section. Same for gas-well, gas and associated gas.
