(b) Perform detailed geological and reservoir engineering studies, including 3-Dsimulation for the reservoirs, and carry out detailed laboratory and reservoirengineering studies to evaluate the most suitable recovery mechanism for allproducing and undeveloped reservoirs that will be the subject of theRehabilitation and Enhanced Redevelopment Plans. Integrate all relevantavailable data and information, including such data existing prior to the executionof Appraisal Operations.
SECTION 2 REHABILITATION WORK
(a) Workover 30 wells and complete 35 existing wells; perform stimulations in 270wells ; new perforations in 150 wells;
(b) Agree and execute a thorough Reservoir Surveillance plan, to acquire sufficientdata for development planning and operations; expected to comprise in the orderof 350 well integrity surveys, PLTs, RSTs, well tests and PVT measurements;
(c) Design and build a 250,000 BWPD fresh water injection system including waterintake facilities and supply pipeline, all capable of being expanded to 500,000BWPD, and including facilities to re-inject produced water at a later stage. It isenvisaged that some of the existing wells will be converted to water injection;
(d) Refurbish existing or, as necessary, construct additional field gathering andprocessing facilities required to process the expected production levels resultingfrom implementation of the Rehabilitation Plan; in particular expand powergeneration and distribution by an expected 10-20 MW; 1 new flow tank with acapacity of 10,000 cubic metres of oil; provision of fiscal metering at theProduction Measurement Point; and
(e) Perform engineering studies for improved and enhanced production, plus initiateany studies necessary for preparation of the Enhanced Redevelopment Plan.
