Cohesive Approach to Identify Sand Channels within the Heterogeneous Units Of Burgan Reservoir by Integrating the Geology

Placement and drilling new wells is currently one of the main challenges in the mature fields, especially when we are trying to manage the reservoirs carefully and insure that we are not abusing the subsurface with our actions. Day by day the smart integration and combination of different source of data can be the solution to this concern and can open the door infront of new opportunities hidden beneath the surface. The Burgan oil field is the main producer and contributing the most to the economy of Kuwait country. Hence continuously we are looking after the best approach to ensure better development to the field. Currently we stepped away from our comfort zone and placed big number of wells in the risky part of the filed. Different source of data such seismic attributes, geological and reservoir data were integrated to insure successful well placement. Genetic inversion one of the important tool we used to map the sand in the heterogeneous part of the field. Subsequently all the locations were drilled with good results that opened the door to new areas. The aim of this paper is to share the method we applied and the successful results we encountered.
