Characterization of a Vertically Compartmentalized Reservoir in a Supergiant Field, Burgan Formation, Greater Burgan Field, Kuwait; Part 1: Stratigraphy and Water Encroachment

Abstract

Abstract This is the first of two papers which describe a comprehensive multidisciplinary effort toward reservoir characterization in the Greater Burgan field. In early 1995 a team of geologists and engineers began reviewing and evaluating Greater Burgan data in order to build an integrated reservoir model. This paper describes the interpreted depositional history of the Burgan formation, relates water encroachment in the reservoir to the stratigraphic architecture, and discuss the potential for oil migration between the main reservoir units.
