... Abstract Traditionally most Reservoir Engineers give emphasis in matching Water-Cut, GOR, SBHP/FBHP and Cumulative Oil/Water & Gas production. Matching the above said will yield good results at the well level, however what is happening within the layers where the well is completed still...

... with unique completion techniques were deployed with multistage acid fracturing within their lateral sections, with minimum rig time and a high degree of accuracy. From an operational standpoint, exploiting these limestone layers with this method means that more fracture initiation points can be achieved...

... to delay or minimize water production however effectiveness depends on treatment efficiency. This abstract will demonstrate extensive mechanical and chemical WSO experience in horizontal drilled wells completed with passive Inflow Control Devices (ICD) completions, with case histories from North Kuwait...

... noise logging (SNL-HD). It was run to provide complete assessment of the injection – production distribution and any associated well integrity issues that might impair the lateral sweep of injectants into the target layer. This will be done for an injector and producer pair near the wellbore area...

The workshop participants were drawn from six discipline teams (Drilling and Completions, Production Operations, Well Intervention and Management, Subsurface, Project Management and HSE). From the technology mapping workshop, Downhole...

... ranges from 2-8 cp and H 2 S and CO 2 levels are 1.5% and 4%, respectively. In order to address the increasing water production in UG-MO wells, the Field Development (FD)-UG team decided to implement Inflow Control Device (ICD) completions in deviated cased hole wells, open hole high angle deviated...

... and dynamic complexity and b) definition rating indices and completeness of wells and surface infrastructure. Causal maps guide the assessment of complexity, uncertainty and risk in CAPEX, OPEX and cycle time of typical projects. Sixty-eight factors in eight matrices provide complexity indices and twelve...

... Abstract Openhole (OH) multistage (MS) technologies can maximize reservoir contact and productivity by optimizing the distribution of acid across the formation matrix. Successful completion of these reservoirs can be challenging. This paper discusses the recommended practice for optimizing OH...

... inflow monitoring. Different approaches to install them permanently within a completion component were used, to provide risk free, reliable production monitoring without the need for intervention. Installing unique chemical tracers that are embedded in polymer materials in sand screens or pup joints...

... for the state of Kuwait. The Middle Marrat reservoir has been developed to date with cased and perforated liner completions across the 500- 700ft pay. However due to the high permeability contrast between the different reservoir flow units, the low permeability zones are typically not contributing...

..., Downhole Water Sink (DWS) completion technology is adapted to maximize reservoir recovery by reducing water cut with oil production, the excessive water is produced through a bottom completion and the oil is produced from the top completion. The design of a successful DWS requires detailed planning...

... and produce maximum where otherwise it would be difficult to produce even 200-300bopd from this thin layer of silty shales. Moreover the thin beds are like appearing or vanishing as we drill ahead due to facies change. This needs complete attention till the well reaches Target Depth (TD). Even a small fault...

... and Temperature logging tools have been able to locate such leaks precisely. This paper presents successful use of Spectral Noise Logging in combination with High Precision Temperature logging (HPT-SNL) in a dual-completion oil well in Kuwait Oil Company for identifying communication between the long...

A realistic surveillance plan, which caters to the different completion plans being evaluated in the pilots, was firmed up. The study also recommends frequency...

... volume. Some of the compartments are preferred for development than other due to development opportunities for more than one reservoir. Development of BGSL1 is highly challenging. The reservoir may require planning single dedicated completions with artificial lift. A novel approach was adopted to screen...

... Abstract Stage tools have been commonly used in North America for monobore completions to optimize economics. By cementing back the vertical and build sections of the wellbore, the requirement of the intermediate casing and liner hanger packer can be eliminated. An operator working in the K-1...
