Sedimentary Interpretation of A Multilayered Clastic Oil Reservoir: Impact on Development Plans for the Zubair Reservoir, Raudhatain Field

摘要

The Lower Cretaceous Zubair reservoir is a major producing horizon in the Raudhatain Field of North Kuwait. The reservoir comprises a number of isolated vertical major sandstone units. With plans to significantly boost production through waterflooding, a major studies program has been conducted. A major sedimentology and reservoir description review has defined controls on reservoir quality, heterogeneity, and architecture. A new layering scheme has been established to honor hte seimentological boundaries and the associated dynamic reservoir behaviour.
