Discovered oil reservoirs in Kuwai
Rock types are used as a reference for assigning reservoir properties. Such properties may be controlled independently for each rock type.
As such, rock typing is an essential step in reservoir characterization and more efficient exploitation of petroleum reservoirs.
Your task is to provide a report, which covers the following items:
✓ Brief review of discovered oil reservoirs in Kuwait in terms of reservoir name, pay zone formation name, pay zone lithology, API gravity of oil,
reservoir depth, mean rock porosity and permeability.
✓ Brief review of rock typing models (with sample calculations) that are applicable to both sandstone and carbonate rocks
✓ Short summary of published papers (either conference or journal) that have proposed rock typing models for reservoirs in Kuwait
Your report must include sufficient information to address all the items above. Furthermore, all the information has to be supported by appropriate
references.
Sample Solution
In 1995, the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) began a program of work at significantly increasing production from the North Kuwait fields by 2005. The production target requires major facility and drilling expenditure along with significant subsurfaces studies to optimize the secondary development of several giant reservoirs. The upper Burgan is one of the four major reservoirs in the Raudhatain and Sabiriyah fields that contribute to the overall production target. The Greater Burgan, field in southeastern Kuwait, produces about 1.6 million barrels of oil a day. The Greater Burgan is comprised of three smaller fields: Burgan, Magwa, and Ahmadi. The first oil well was installed in Burgan in 1938.
