Abstract

It is known that carbonate reservoirs account for about half of the world’s oil and gas reserves but not many have been put to production. In Central Luconia, Offshore Sarawak, Malaysia for example, there are about 200-250 known carbonate buildups that can account for between 40-70% of the country’s total gas reserves. Most of these carbonate reservoirs have significantly high CO2 composition with widespread karst features. Previous attempts to delineate the karsts and establish structural relationships to their geometry and distribution have not been exhaustive. Also, geo-sequestration techniques to capture and store the CO2 are not cost effective as a result of extensive surface infrastructure that will be required to connect the widely spaced reservoirs/fields. Geologic, petrophysical, geochemical, geophysical, core analyses and other studies have been carried out but future investments in these prolific fields are yet to be seen. This article reviews the main impediments and challenges to Central Luconia Carbonate field development and proposes a future outlook that can guarantee renewed interests for more productivity.
