New Oil in an Old Reservoir:Prize From a Comprehensive,Multidisciplinary Reservoir-Management Approach

摘要

Before 2001,the overall potential and viability of long-term development of the lower Burgan sandstone(IBS)reservoir in the Sabiriyah field in northern Kuwait were uncertain.Earlier evaluations often compromised production and potential by focusing on other waterflooded reservoirs and treating this one as a swing producer.It lacked a proper reservoir definition before commitment as a swing producer with no infill opportunities.It is important to develop an accurate reservoir description,a realistic and flexible development plan,and comprehensive manogement through the joint efforts of the geologists and engineers.
