Steam Flooding a 200 m Thick Clastic Heavy Oil Reservoir

B16 Steam Flooding a 200 m Thick Clastic Heavy Oil Reservoir V. van Engelen* (PDO) S. Al-Harthy (PDO) & J. van Wunnik (PDO) SUMMARY The discussed field is located in South Oman and contains a 200m thick column of heavy oil in sandstone reservoir at a depth of 1150m below surface. The field has been in production for 20 years and is currently in decline. A pattern steam flood re-development is proposed potentially doubling or tripling ultimate recovery. The extreme thickness of the heavy oil reservoir (up to 200m) is unique and poses both opportunities as well as challenges. Given
