Abstract We used wireline logs, seismic, core data, fluid analysis, and geochemical data to investigate the total petroleum system in Cretaceous period. Also, we thin sections analysis throughout investigation. Python’s 1-D backstripping technique was determine abrupt changes subsidence rates their effect on reservoir’s quality. The results defined that potential reservoirs include, from top bo...

Abstract Kuwait has proven conventional oil reserves of about 100 billion barrels which makes it one the major oil-producing countries worldwide. Most this reserve is found in Cretaceous and Jurassic with minor quantities Paleogene sedimentary successions. hydrocarbon production comes from siliciclastic Burgan Formation most important reservoir Kuwait. The Lower exhibit good quality source rock...

Porosity is one of the key parameters associated with oil reservoirs. Determination of this petrophysical parameter is an essential step in reservoir characterization. Among different linear and nonlinear prediction tools such as multi-regression and polynomial curve fitting, artificial neural network has gained the attention of researchers over the past years. In the present study, two-dimensi...

Water flooding is a well-known secondary mechanism for improving oil recovery. Conventional approach to evaluate the performance of a water flooding process (e.g. breakthrough and post breakthrough behavior) is to establish a reliable geological reservoir model, upscale it, and then perform flow simulations. To evaluate the uncertainty in the breakthrough time or post breakthrough behavior, thi...

detailed organic petrography analysis were conducted on drill core and cutting samples from the nahr umr (middle albian), burgan (lower albian) and ratawi (hauterivian) formations on the soroosh and nowrooz fields, nw part of the iranian sector of the persian gulf. the thermal maturity of the middle albian nahr umr formation appears to have reached the top of the oil window. the underlying burg...

Abstract Horizontal good technology is one of the recent methods in drilling and exploitation geological formations best optimal ways, because many comprehensive advantages that these wells enjoy with most important measurement prediction index called productivity index. Which equivalent to several times higher than vertical well index, if field invested by only. The current research focuses on...

Millions of barrels of crude oil gushed freely from these wells, creating oil lakes in low-lying areas of the desert. Lakes were formed at more than 500 different locations, covering a total area initially estimated at 49 km. While the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has recovered 22.5 million barrels of the spilled crude; the remaining amount, is considered unrecoverable by standard methods. An estim...
