1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Based on discussions with Talisman Energy, IESL was requested to develop a benchmark
earth model for assessing the fracturing data inputs for the Tartan field.Initial field stress analysis utilised Leak-Off Test data and pressures from Reservoir modelling.
Subsequent analysis using RFT data from earlier wells and Eaton’s equation, taking into
account effects of non-linear elasticity, provided final data for the minimum horizontal stress
gradient. The horizontal stresses vary slightly across the various six sands due to varying
Poisson’s ratio in the formations. The overlying and undepleted Hot Sands show a higher
minimum stress gradient.
The magnitude of the major horizontal stress was determined based on the minor horizontal
stress, the tensile strength of the formation and the breakout pressure estimated from leak-off
test data. Direction of the horizontal stresses were determined from analysis of the four arm
caliper. The results are summarised in the Table below.

The fracture gradient was calculated using the Matthews and Kelly correlation and was found to
be ~0.764 psi/ft in the overlying Hot Sands, with values of 0.685 psi/ft in the underlying six
sands. These values are in line with those obtained from the major horizontal stress analysis.
The mechanical properties of the formation (E, ν and UCS) were initially determined from logdata (Gamma Ray, Density and Compressional Sonic Wave). These were later validated
through a series of core tests. While the young’s modulus from the testing replicated the values
identified in the log analysis, values of Poisson’s ration were found to be higher than thoseobtained from the log derived VClay model. This is a result of the lack of character shown in the
Gamma Ray response, and thus values of Poisson’s ratio derived from core testing, although
discrete, were used in determining the horizontal stress gradients. The results of the log
analysis and core testing are shown in the tables below.

3. INTRODUCTION
3.1 BACKGROUND
The Tartan field is located in block 15/16 of the UKCS. It is Talisman’s intention to enhance
production through a fracturing part of the contributing reservoir. The producing zones are made
up from the D, B, C and A sands (from top to bottom). All sands have a low permeability, with
the target sands (B/C) having values of ~20 – 30 mD.
The key objective is to fracture the B/C sands without the fracture extending into the overlying
or underlying formations, in particular the overlying D sand, which has a higher permeability.
Consideration as to utilising orientated perforating guns is being made, depending on the level
of anisotropy and direction. A high state of anisotropy would suggest that orientating the guns in
line with the maximum horizontal stress will ensure that the perforations are orientated with thefracture, thus reducing flow tortuosity and drawdown.

5. FIELD STRESSES
In order to enhance the modelling of the 3D fracture simulation, a detailed review of the in-situ
field stresses was carried out. As seen from the table in the previous section, a large number ofdata points were utilised to provide the information for the determination of the in-situ stresses.
The in-situ stresses in the Tartan field are typical of those in the North Sea: that is with the
vertical stress (overburden) being the highest stress. The horizontal stresses show a limited
amount of anisotropy, and this is further validated from the results of the four-arm caliper data
thus:
h H v σσσ ≥>
Equation 5.1 – I n-Situ Stress State in the Tartan F ield
5.1 VERTICAL STRESS
The vertical stress or overburden (σv) is determined through integration of the density logs, Inthe absence of this data (i.e. above the logged interval) a vertical stress gradient of 1.0 psi/ft
has been assumed. Density logs were provided for wells T3 and T6. Integrating the density
through these sections, and adding the overlying sea depth results in the gradient shown in
Figure 5.1

5.2 MINIMUM HORIZONTAL STRESS
The minimum horizontal stresses (
σh) are derived from drilling and reservoir data – in particular
FIT, LOT and Extended Leak off test data. In the case of the Tartan field, no Extended Leak off
Tests were carried out. Table 5.1 below shows the data utilised for the determination of the
minimum horizontal stress gradient.

Comparing the LOT derived and Eaton derived horizontal stresses for the overlying Hot Sands,
the stress gradient are shown in Figure 5.3. LOT derived gradient = 0.63 psi/ft while the Eaton
derived gradient is 0.68 psi/ft. The use of FIT and Formation tests in the data set for the LOT
derived horizontal stress results in the lower values observed for this stress gradient. It is
recommended that the higher Eaton derived stress gradient be used for fracture analysis.

The impact of depletion through the Six Sands resulted in particularly low figures for the LOTderived horizontal stress, since σh = f (LOT, PR). Utilising the Eaton equation, and taking intoaccount the large variation in pore pressure and non linear elasticity of the formation, a gradient
of σh = 0.61 psi / ft was determined. The variation shown in the gradient on the following page isa result of changes in the Poisson’s’ ratio used from core testing. The step corresponds to each
of the 3 Six Sand sections.

5.3 MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL STRESS MAGNITUDE As there is no extended leak-off test data it is difficult to determine the magnitude of any
anisotropy and therefore the maximum horizontal stress. The North Sea however is typically
under a normal stress regime, (i.e. σv > σH > σh). This can certainly be assumed based on thedepth of the formation, and indications of ovality in the core tests.
To calculate the maximum horizontal stress, an estimation of the breakout pressure was made
from drilling data of 500 psi above the leak-off pressure. The tensile strength used in the
determination of the maximum horizontal stress was based on 1/12 th of the log derived UCS.

was calculated to be 0.760psi/ft in the Hot Sands and 0.681 psi/ft in the Six Sands.

The fracture gradient was calculated using the Matthews and Kelly correlation and was found to
be ~0.764 psi/ft in the overlying Hot Sands, with values of 0.685 psi/ft in the underlying six
sands. These values are in line with those obtained from the major horizontal stress analysis.
5.4 MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL STRESS DIRECTION
The maximum horizontal stress azimuth was determined from analysis of four arm caliper logs.
Identification of ovality in the borehole provides an indication of the direction of the horizontal
stresses. The following graph shows the two caliper sizes and the azimuth of pad 1 for well T3.
In order to determine the direction of the breakout, firstly the breakout PAD was identified (i.e.
C1 or C2). If the breakout PAD is C1, then the orientation of the breakout is given by the C1
azimuth (H1AZ) otherwise the breakout direction is H1AZ + 90°. (In some cases this results invalues higher than 360º, in which case 180º is subtracted to obtain the azimuth.
Since small variation in the PAD size are not indicative of the ovality, variations in C1 and C2
were limited to enhance the resolution of the direction. A minimum variation of 0.5” was used.

The orientation of the larger of the pad responses was determined, for instances where the
difference was greater that 0.5”. The results are shown in Figure 5.8 below. The curve shows
the direction of the ‘breakout’ and hence the direction of the minimum horizontal stress. Similar

Properties Testing was carried out in order to determine the Young’s Modulus and Poisson’sratio for the Hot Sands and Six Sands. Selections were based on information from composite
