... Abstract Mauddud Formation is a major oil-producing reservoir in Raudhatain Field of North Kuwait. The Mauddud Formation is an early Albian in age and it was generated an environment of the shallow-water carbonate and consists of Grainstones, Wackestones and Mudstones deposited in ramp settings...

... Abstract This paper presents a method for facies classification derived from cross plots of basic gamma ray and bulk density wireline log data. It has been specifically developed in-house for two North Kuwait heavy-oil fields, and has been calibrated against both field analogues and core sample...

... Abstract The objective of this paper is to show the integrated subsurface reservoir models created for high challengeable HPHT North Kuwait Jurassic (NKJ) Gas Asset. The successful story focuses on the study and modelling achievements that involved applying the appropriate method of upscaling...

... Abstract Sabiriyah Mauddud is a giant carbonate reservoir in North Kuwait under active development with water flooding by treated seawater. Reservoir souring occurring at multiple producers has added one more dimension of complexity to be tracked; evaluated & managed. The paper proposal...

... heavy oil fields in North Kuwait, and then to compare those summaries with similar heavy oil operations in other countries, in order assess their quality and degree of representativeness. For two North Kuwait heavy oil fields, data was tabulated for the cumulative amounts of core cut and recovered...

... Abstract This article describes both the implementation of a structured review process of field performance for managing an existing waterflood in North Kuwait and summarizes how this process can lead to enhanced oil recovery. The aim of the review process, applied to the Upper Burgan...

... Abstract North Kuwait has a vision to produce about 1 million BOPD within next couple of year. As a part of this strategy, all efforts & opportunities are being synchronized to maximize the production. A serious threat to this plan was confronted by observation of Naturally occurring...

... Abstract Sabiriyah Mauddud is one of the largest carbonate reservoirs in North Kuwait on active water flood since last 20 years using sea water as the injectant. The reservoir is purely a depletion drive reservoir, responding to water flood quickly in terms of increase in reservoir pressure...

... 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 North Kuwait is an active asset with significant challenges to build the production, while ongoing development using water flood in major reservoirs. One of such reservoirs, Upper Burgan (UB), has witnessed several stiff milestones to maximize sweep & recovery. Micro Reservoir...

... Abstract Sabiriyah Mauddud and Upper Burgan are two of the giant reservoirs in North Kuwait(NK) under active water flood since 2000. About 400 MBWPD of water is currently being injected to maintain the reservoir pressure & improve the production/recovery. A comprehensive workflow process...

... Abstract The HPHT, sour, deep, fractured and not so fractured carbonate Jurassic formations within the North Kuwait cluster of fields present extraordinary challenges in driving towards an optimized field development that maximizes liquid recovery and meet the gas production aspirations...

... Abstract This article attempts to summarize measures that are required to be adopted in order to have safe drilling practices mainly in unstable shale formation and have a smooth landing section in target reservoir below the shale. For the last three years in North Kuwait, the number of geo...

... Abstract North Kuwait is an active asset with Sabiriyah Mauddud as the largest reservoir undergoing development using water flood. Initially with inverted 5 spot; followed by inverted 9 spot and ultimately with Produce High-Inject Low (PHIL) concept, Mauddud had witnessed a continuous testing...

... Abstract Producing hydrocarbons at appraisal and development targets from deep, sour, over-pressured and HPHT carbonates in North Kuwait has been a challenge driven by the complex reservoir heterogeneity as well as the damage induced by the use of barite-laden heavy oil-based mud (OBM...

... Abstract The Late Albian Mauddud Formation of North Kuwait is composed of inner ramp carbonates and deltaic clastics. It hosts prolific hydrocarbon reserves in Kuwait and across the Arabian Gulf region where the reservoirs are typically the carbonate deposits. Accurately predicting...

... Abstract Raudhatain-Mauddud, a super-giant depletion oil reservoir in North Kuwait, consists primarily of two areas: the crest of the reservoir with good rock/fluid quality and the flank area with poor rock/fluid quality. In some areas of the reservoir, however, especially in the flanks...

... Abstract The Kuwait Oil Company is developing the North Kuwait Jurassic Gas fields in order to increase domestic gas supply. The reservoirs are difficult with deep, poor quality reservoirs under high pressure containing H2S and CO2 leading to significant technology challenges. KOC entered...
