The Jurassic age Middle-Marrat Formation in Kuwait is a condensate / gas reservoir. The traditional hydrocarbon producing prolific layers show the interplay of tectonics, lithology and diagenetic processes leading to high-quality reservoir rock facies. With the onset of depletion and continued demand for gas, KOC has made a conscious effort to elevate production from alternate low-quality layers in the field.
A horizontal well was planned within untapped layers of Middle-Marrat formation away from the prolific part of the Sabriyah field. To assess the economic producibility of these layers, it was imperative to utilize and propose the integration 3D reservoir mapping by Ultra Deep Azimuthal Resistivity (UDAR), beyond wellbore natural fracture characterization from 3D far-field acoustic base to engineered stimulation solutions. The case study here will examine the new workflow of the integration of the 3D mapping generated from different physics acquisition.
