oa The Ratawi Reservoir of the Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ), Saudi Arabia and<br>Kuwait

The Lower Cretaceous Ratawi Formation is a target for increased production and ongoing exploration<br>within the Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ). The Ratawi Formation consists of 3 members including: the<br>Ratawi Oolite (base), the Ratawi Limestone and the Ratawi Shale (top). Deposition of the Ratawi Oolite<br>and Ratawi Limestone occurred on a low-angle carbonate ramp roughly dipping to the east to<br>northeast. Oil from the Ratawi reservoir is currently being produced from the South Umm Gudair,<br>Wafra, and South Fuwaris fields. The purpose of this study is to better understand the reservoir<br>heterogeneity of the Ratawi at both the regional and field scale to provide inputs for future<br>development and exploration activities.
