oa Integrated Reservoir Characterisation in Support of a Challenging Oil-Rim Development - Northern Oman

Field scale reservoir characterisation of the Permo-Carboniferous, glacio-lacustrine Al Khlata Formation and the Permian shallow marine Lower Gharif Formation has been conducted in an attempt to identify mechanisms for unexpected production and drilling results including larger than predicted water-cuts. An interdisciplinary task-force was convened with the specific aim of integrating the depositional and structural framework with reservoir properties and production performance.
