Abstract

This article presents the results of exploration and appraisal as well as challenges during the development of Su Tu Trang gas condensate field, Block 15-1. Development plan by phases is the primary solution to step by step solving the challenges of geological aspect, production capability, drilling and well completion, condensate deposition, etc.

Su Tu Trang field production potential has been verified through a long-term production testing plan, bringing information on geological uncertainty, faults, reservoir heterogeneity, fluid properties and gas injection as a solution to low gas export and condensate banking mitigation. The next development phase of Su Tu Trang (Phase 2) will focus on meeting the gas market's demand, along with appraisal of the flank of Su Tu Trang structure for further development phase.
