.... The economic screening also accounts for CO2 penalties to drive GHG and energy efficiency. As well as continuous waterflood optimization by carrying out structured reviews, to promote high efficiency injectors and demote low efficiency injectors. REUSE: Increasing waterflooded reservoirs’ throughput rate...

... productivity and minimum skin due to perforation has been considered. Gun performance modelling and sensitivity analysis should be conducted to compare the performance of various guns and to select the optimum gun suitable for well and reservoir conditions. Gun performance under downhole condition...

... Abstract As oil fields mature, producing more oil out of maturing reservoirs entails more water production. It is essential to have a successful water management process to be introduce, one that can handle substantial volumes of water produced in order to sustain crude oil production...

... Abstract Objectives/Scope. Well completion is an important step for every well to undergo in order to prepare it for oil and gas extraction. Based on the nature and characteristics of an oil and gas reservoir, appropriate well completion practices are selected to enhance the production...

... Abstract Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs), such as fractured carbonate reservoirs, are commonly located worldwide and have the potential to be good sources of long-term storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The numerical reservoir simulation models are an excellent source for evaluating...

... Abstract Acidizing of oil and gas bearing carbonate reservoirs is generally undertaken by strong mineral acids such as HCl either to alleviate the damage caused by drilling and completion fluids or to create permeability in low permeability reservoirs. In acidizing operations, HCl reacts...

... Abstract Prior to initiating a reservoir simulation study, the readiness of a complete set of fluid analysis data should be assured and quality checked. This usually includes, but not limited to, identification of any vertical and lateral variation of reservoir fluid properties. Identification...

... Abstract The objective of this paper is to present the comparative results of comprehensive analysis of horizontal well productivity and completion performance with vertical wells drilled and completed within same time window in the Mauddud reservoir in the Bahrain Oil Field. The study also...

... Abstract The objective of this paper is to show the effect of non-HC gases NHG on critical fluid characterization of HPHT discovered deep Jurassic reservoir in north Kuwait in addition to Fluid characterization and compartmentalization with objective of assessing HC potential, well...

... Abstract Sand production erodes hardware, blocks tubulars, creates downhole cavities, and must be separated and disposed of on the surface. Completion methods that allow sand-prone reservoirs to be exploited often severely reduce production efficiency. The challenge is to complete wells to keep...

... Abstract The Greater Burgan field in South-East Kuwait is the world's largest sandstone oilfield and the second-largest conventional oilfield. The Wara reservoir, in the Greater Burgan field, is a prolific sandstone oil-producing formation. Peripheral water injection into the Wara reservoir...

... Abstract Multilateral wells offer multiple benefits to oil and gas operators, including lowering the field development cost by minimizing wellsite construction work and increasing reservoir contact leading to enhanced reservoir production. They also present challenges, with each leg requiring...

..., depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs are some of the viable options to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Deep saline aquifers are a particularly good choice due to their wide geographical distribution and proximity to emission sources that provide easy accessibility and storability of CO2. Saline...

... Abstract Deep and ultradeep azimuthal resistivity images enable precise well placement inside the reservoir structure. However, they deliver limited information about the quality of the reservoir, especially in carbonates, where large pore-size variations are common. Combining the deep...

... Abstract Horizontal wells drilled in Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) targeting tight carbonate Mishref reservoir in West Kuwait Minagish development fields provided increased reservoir contact area leading to higher production rate and wider access to available hydrocarbon reserves. Large wellbore...

... Abstract After years of oil production, conventional ESP placement at shallow depth ~ inclination of 45° is no longer capable for production and thus the need to push the ESP deeper and closer to the reservoir at 55°-85° deviation is deemed necessary, which negatively impacts the ability to set...

... Abstract A proper deep isolation of high-pressure sour gas reservoirs through Corrosion Resistance Alloy (CRA) tubing had been a real challenge for offshore gas operations owing to the inherent limitations present in all rigless operations needed to accomplish this task. Moreover, the presence...

... that relate the well interventions history due to data is unstructured and disperse in several databases. Every year, it was requested to present a well performance review report per reservoir that contains hundreds of diagnostic plots that require massive manual updates, although the subject asset...

... R T s c Z s c V E ) Abstract Based on a genetic algorithm and field production data, this paper reasonably optimizes the fracture parameters of multistage fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs). First, a mathematical model of MFHWs in shale gas reservoir is proposed under...

... and heterogeneous systems in reservoir characteristics. Throughout the years, ML has showed great potential in improving the prediction accuracy. The main principal behind ML prediction models is training a set of data (inputs and outputs) to build a predictive model that recognizes the different patterns...
