3D Geological Model Based on Sequence Stratigraphy Reduces Uncertainty in Deep Carbonate Reservoirs

RESULTS Drilled four wells based on the model, successfully predicting the type and thickness of reservoir facies, enabling the operator to pursue optimal field development strategies with higher confidence in the distribution and connectivity of critical flow units. Modeling reservoir architecture with limited data After successfully developing Cretaceous reservoirs in several northern Kuwait fields, an operator discovered hydrocarbons in deeper, naturally fractured carbonate reservoirs of Jurassic age. High-temperature/high-pressure wells were drilled in six structures, producing commercial quantities of gas-condensate and volatile oil.
