Challenges in Sour Gas Handling For Kuwait Jurassic Sour Gas

摘要

Kuwait Oil Company started free gas production from its Jurassic sour gas field in May'2008 with the commissioning ofEarly Production Facility EPF-50. The field produces sour gas and light crude (API: 48) from a deep High Pressure HighTemperature naturally fractured carbonate reservoir of low permeability and low porosity. The formation pressure andtemperature are in the range of 10,000 psi and 275 deg. The well fluid is characterized by high H2S (5%) and CO2 content(5%). 26 wells are presently connected to EPF-50.
