Reservoir analysis in a fractured carbonate heavy oil reservoir
This SPE paper details production logging results in Eygpt's Issaran heavy oil carbonate field and provides insight on job planning, operations, and approaches for field re-development
Egypt's Issaran field contain heavy oil fractured carbonates which are challenging heavy oil environments to develop and operate. In order to better identify high permeability layers and calculate their corresponding reservoir pressure, special production logs combined with high capacity ESP pumps were run in three of the Issaran wells. This is a good example where improved logging and production technology is enabling improved reservoir characterization and extended production in heavy oil reservoirs that might otherwise not be viable.
