Abstract
The North Kuwait (NK) long term strategy is designed to increase its oil production as per Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) development<br>plans. North Kuwait’s production to date is characterized by large, massive reservoirs undergoing natural depletion supported by strong<br>natural aquifer drives and, in some reservoirs, natural aquifer support is supplemented by waterfl ooding. In order to maintain production,<br>the current primary and secondary (waterfl ood) recovery mechanisms must be advanced into secondary and tertiary (EOR) in the main<br>NK reservoirs.
