Abstract

Summary

This study focuses on Mishrif formation in Rumaila oilfield. the dynamic behaviour of thief zone and its impact towards production and injection are presented. Results indicate that thief zones are observed in this carbonate formation. Surveillance data (PLT) indicates that there are very productive thin layer, which contribute more than 75% production with the thickness of less than 10% of the total net pay thickness. In addition, and the distribution of thief zone are characterized based on PLT, which indicates that thief zone development has intimate relationship with facies and diagenesis.
