The development of carbonate reservoirs in a giant field offshore Abu Dhabi requires long horizontal wells but carries the risk of unwanted gas and water channeling through its inherent heterogeneities. Success depends heavily on the quality of the formation knowledge before completion. Well-testing logging (WTL) offers the advantage of recording a log of mobility at the end of the process of drilling the openhole, enabling favorable timing to influence adapted completion and stimulation design.
Field and Geological Background
The studied field is northwest of Abu Dhabi. It has a gently dipping domal asymmetric anticline structure.
