Design of a steam pilot in a fractured carbonate reservoir, qarn alam field, oman

摘要

Steam injection has been identified as the most promising recovery method for the intensely-fractured carbonate Shuaiba/Kharaib/Lekhwair reservoir in Qarn Alam, Oman. The reservoir contains 213 million m~3 of heavy vviscous (16 degree API, 220 cp) crude, however the ultimate recovery efficiency under primary recovery is expected to be only 2
