... are calibrated using analog fields or typical projects, as input for stochastic modeling to account for uncertainty. The application of this approach in heavy oil fields in Kuwait, allowed identification of technical competencies classified under 10 functional competency groups under four major categories...

... Abstract North Kuwait heavy oil development continues to benefit from detailed study of outcrops at the Jal Az-Zor escarpment that are stratigraphic equivalents to some of their reservoirs. During the 2018-19 field season, focus was placed on recording the internal architectures of specific...

.... This was achieved by building the well performance understanding on a correlation that required petrophysical description, production rates and estimates of drainage area reservoir pressure. psia formation damage asphaltene deposition drillstem/well testing reservoir pressure kuwait drillstem testing...

... Abstract A proven and effective integrated asset modelling (IAM) approach has been adopted to bring multiple interdependent wells, pipelines networks, and process facilities models together into one single truly integrated asset model for the Greater Burgan Oilfield in Kuwait. The integrated...

... Abstract One objective of the proposed paper, given Kuwait's extremely high CO 2 -equivalent emissions per capita, high energy consumption per capita, and the international environmental agreements Kuwait has agreed to abide by, is to inspire action by decision makers to increase the share...

... Abstract A regular 5-spot Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP) pilot is planned for a giant carbonate reservoir in Kuwait where a suitable formulation compatible with harsh salinity and temperature conditions was developed. However, it is vital to address uncertainties introduced through...

... Abstract The Minagish Oolite is one of the main reservoirs in the Minagish Field, Southwest Kuwait. The field is a large 4-way dip closure anticline structure, covering an area of about 90 square kilometers and with around 900feet of carbonates of the Minagish formation. The Middle Minagish...

... Abstract Umm Gudair (UG) field is one of the major oil fields of West Kuwait asset. Minagish Oolite (MO) reservoir is the main oil producer contributing more than 95% of the current production in the UG field. The field water cut has been increasing and currently is around 60%. The increasing...

... Abstract Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Company is Constructing a new refinery at AI Zour, Kuwait. The refinery site's native land is low lying and contains areas of loose or poor soils known as Sabkha (soil consisting of deposits which are usually soft and susceptible to salt leaching...

... Abstract The paper describes the results of a benchmarking exercise conducted for a selected set of Well Reservoir and Facility Management (WRFM) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) on two greenfield, heavy oil assets in Kuwait. The purpose of the benchmark exercise was to define a baseline...

... Abstract A one-spot EOR pilot was successfully completed to demonstrate the efficacy of a lab-optimized ASP formulation to mobilize remaining oil from a giant sandstone reservoir in Kuwait. This one-spot EOR pilot, which also referred to as a Single Well Chemical Tracer (SWCT) test...

... Abstract Within North Kuwait heavy oil fields, integrated reservoir modelling is challenged by inherent reservoir heterogeneities, regional non-stationarity (i.e. trends), asymmetrical well and seismic distributions, and the need to maintain alignment between various the model scales required...

... Abstract A series of explosions destroyed several houses at Al-Ahmadi Town in southeast Kuwait during 2010 and 2011; they were initially attributed to gas leakages from discarded old domestic gas supply system. The incidents led Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) to commission a surface geochemical...

... of heavier oil intercalated with lighter oil ones. The previous studies of Minagish oil showed that this reservoir is richest in heavy polar compounds (26%) compared to other cretaceous reservoirs in Kuwait. Using the above methods, a new model is conceived with a clear variation in oil homogeneity...

... Abstract The Burgan sands Formation is one of the main reservoirs of Greater Burgan field in Kuwait, producing under primary depletion since the late 1940s.
