... Abstract While polymer flooding has widely been used as a successful technology to improve mobility control and sweep efficiency in many oil reservoirs, its applicability under harsh temperature/salinity conditions and in low-permeability reservoirs has prohibitively remained a challenge...

... will be a best practice solution for KOC assets in term of cost optimization and added value. The technology will support KOC to solve some of the other faced challenges in various wells integrity and WO issues demonstrating how much cost savings can be attained along with keeping the reservoir damage free...

... Abstract Heavy oil reservoirs are generally unconsolidated and easy to produce sand during production 1 . In the late stage of Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), high temperature steam and hot water destroy clay minerals, further aggravate sand production problems, resulting in sand jam, sand...

... 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...

... incorporating the 14 gathering centers in the South and East Kuwait (SEK) asset focused on providing all the essential valuable inputs to business processes for better asset management, faster and more accurate decision-making and optimizing the hydrocarbon flow path all the way from the reservoir till...

... Abstract Magwa-Marrat reservoir fluid is an asphaltenic hydrocarbon, exhibiting precipitation and deposition of asphaltene in the production system including the reservoir rock near wellbore and the tubing. The main objective of this work was to optimize production in Magwa-Marrat wells...

... Abstract This paper discusses the design and implementation of a Single Well Chemical Tracer Test (SWCTT) to evaluate the efficacy of a lab-optimized surfactant-polymer formulation for the Raudhatain Lower Burgan (RALB) reservoir in North Kuwait. A SWCTT was designed upon completing extensive...

... Abstract Minagish Oolite reservoir is a prolific limestone reservoir in Umm Gudair field underlain by an active aquifer situated in West Kuwait. The field has been on production for over 50 years and has been experiencing rising water production levels in the recent years. Understanding...

... Abstract The acquisition of downhole pressure data representative of reservoir response enabling subsequent pressure transient analysis has been one of the primary drivers for running drill stem tests. However, many factors can influence the representativity and interpretability of the data...

... Design (CCD) was employed to build the proxy model to determine the incremental oil recovery (ΔFOE) as a function of seven reservoir and operating parameters (permeability, porosity, ratio of vertical to horizontal permeability, cyclic length, bottom hole pressure, ratio of CO 2 slug size to water slug...

... 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 A comprehensive chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) laboratory evaluation program was carried out to compare surfactants for alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) and surfactant-polymer (SP) implementation in a giant Middle East sandstone oil reservoir. The efficacies of ASP and SP floods...

... for these facies were calibrated against data from core analyses and with outcrop analogues in North Kuwait. These facies were populated into static reservoir models using the Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS) method, and petrophysical modeling was then conditioned to these facies. These resulting modeled...

... Abstract Deep-reservoir profile modification is an effective method to force subsequently injected water to divert into low-permeability oil-rich layers and to improve the sweep efficiency. A model is built to study the effect of concentration and slug size of the treatment, heterogeneity...

... 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 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...
