Structural Dynamics and High Resolution Geochemistry: Emerging Ideas, Dukhan Field, Qatar

The giant Dukhan Field is a mature oil and gas field located onshore in Qatar, approximately 80 km west of Doha (Figure 1).<br>The Dukhan structure is a north-south plunging anticline approximately 70 km long by 8 km wide. The field was discovered<br>in 1939 and first production occurred in 1949, with more than 750 well penetrations drilled since then. Major reservoirs are<br>the Upper Jurassic Arab C and Arab D formations, the focus of this study, which contain oil and oil with associated gas,<br>respectively. Oil and associated gas are also produced from the Middle Jurassic Uwainat formation, and the Permo-Triassic<br>Khuff formation contains non-associated gas.
