This paper presents the traditional methods of hydrate mitigation used in the NKJ fields and the way in which a transient model was initially built and continuously improved.
-
In thermal enhanced oil recovery there is one big ingredient: steam. A new startup from Germany believes it has found the oil industry’s cheapest way to make it.
-
This study provides technical analysis of the viability of enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes; the results indicate the potential for significant improvement in recovery efficiency over continued waterflooding.
-
The first multilateral well in a North Kuwait field has been drilled recently.
-
The Burgan reservoir consists of vertically stacked channel sands along with a fault network connected to the aquifer and contains highly viscous reservoir fluid.
-
This paper describes placement of horizontal wells in this kind of heterogeneous reservoir through an integrated approach.
-
Recently, a new structure located in northwestern Kuwait was drilled and tested with a deep-drilling rig.
-
In 2011, the Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) considered enhancement of equipment specifications for deep drilling rigs to integrate state-of-the-art technologies.
-
This paper discusses scaling up the high-resolution geological model and specific problems encountered by the study team in the Greater Burgan field.
-
The smart multilateral well has assisted in addressing premature water breakthrough, has enhanced water-free oil production, and has facilitated uniform depletion, which results in improved hydrocarbon recovery.
