Abstract

Lan Tay gas feld, which is located in Block 06-1 of Nam Con Son basin in a total area of 950km2, was put into production in late 2002. As of end December 2016, Lan Tay feld has produced 47.53bcm of gas and 18.71mmstb of condensate, which account for 95.06% and 94% of its recoverable reserve, respectively. So far there has been no water influx phenomenon in the production wells of Lan Tay feld, however, it is important to forecast the water influx period for reservoir production and management strategies. This paper analyses and forecasts this phenomenon for the production wells of Lan Tay feld and proposes an optimal production strategy.
