... and implemented to revive the shut-in production potential to the GCs, resulting in a bump in oil production for North Kuwait. As a result of the strategy adopted, deferment of oil production due to NORM, which hovered to more than 1.5 years in the past, is prevented, thus helping production target requirements...

... production to 4 MMBOPD by year 2030. To fulfill this vision KOC has designed a Digital Oil Field system which is unique in world in various aspects. This Digital Oil Field is designed to achieve two main objectives, first objective is to minimize the oil production losses associated with downtime and second...

... with pumps performing out of the desired design parameters, and 2) Wells with opportunities to increase oil production based on well-reservoir potential. The first condition allows engineers to improve pump's runlife and associated costs, while the second provides options to maximize oil production. The AL...

... Abstract Historically, it has been a challenge to analyze and predict water cut or water production. While predicting water production may seem less relevant as compared to oil production, produced water poses many challenges. The difficulty rises when surface facilities cannot handle the water...

... Coiled Tubing was chosen as the most efficient, reliable and cost-effective technique to revive oil production from 12 dead wells. The results of this pilot project were very satisfactory. The technique involves running coiled tubing inside the production tubing of a dead oil well, the coiled tubing...

..., Montana, and South Saskatchewan. This study approved that diffusion flow is dominated in these types of reservoirs. Therefore, the injected CO 2 needs a significant molar-diffusivity into formation-oil, so it can penetrate into shale-matrix and enhance oil production. However, some of CO 2 Pilot-tests...

Kuwait Oil Company started implementing integrated digital field projects (KwIDF) as a part of their strategy to enhance and optimize Kuwait’s oil production, and launched three pilot projects in 2009. The KwIDF GC-01...

..., 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...

... Abstract To improve Oil production rates and recovery factors North Kuwait shifted its exploitation strategy from vertical to horizontal completions. These horizontal ICD completions did indeed reduce the draw down pressure within the reservoir, thereby delaying water breakthrough. When water...
