Fracture Acidizing of a HTHP Exploratory Well in Deep Carbonate Reservoir - A Case Study (SPE-112794)

摘要

In the pursuit of meeting the world's energy demand, Kuwait Oil Company has expanded its exploration campaign to deep Jurassic carbonate, beyond 16,000 feet. The Jurassic carbonate reservoirs in Kuwait are characterized with extremely low porosity, low permeability and fractures of all scale including hairline and microfractures. High production from these types of reservoirs will be possible if the oil filled fractures can discharge into large connected fractures during drawdown. Hence, these reservoirs are well suited for fracture stimulation to exploit the well properly.
