  Alkhalij field located offshore Qatar , was discovered in 1991 and put into production in 1997. The field is original in many aspects. it is one of the few carbonate reservoir with stratigraphic closure, the oil is being trapped in upper part of a monocline due to a lateral variation in reservoir facies. In addition, the reservoir lies within the capillary transition zone and consists of a succession of highly conductive oil bearing layers ( drains) in between matrix layers of poor permeability. High- resolution 3D seismic has revealed additional area developed, which were previously considered to be uneconomic. Resent 4D seimic pilot has given encouraging result to utilize Seismic Technologies to analyse the evolution of the Al Khalij oilfield over time. Studies shows, this field possibly extended toward Reshdat oil field. Manuscript profile

  The Sand tongues of the Albian Kazhdumi Formation is a major prodactive reservoir in North West part of the Persian Gulf towards Kuwait . High porosity and high permeability of these sandstones together with existence of shale either as source rock or cap rock in this formation, have provided all conditions needed for hydrocarbon accumulation. A rapid sea level fall in ealry Albian initiated the deposition of Burgan clastic reservoirs over the Shuaiba Carbonates. The lower Burgan Formation was deposited in a lowstand systems tract represented by massive sandstone reservoirs. High frequency sealevel changes have resulted in deposition of shoreface sands and extensive marine shales within an overall fluvial setting. The middle part Burgan was deposited in a transgressive systems tract. The upper part witnessed a relative sealevel fall in a lowstand systems tract with deposition of sand prone facies in estuarine channels. The clastic cycle was terminated by initiation of Mauddud carbonate sedimentations in transgressive systems tract. A combined effect of allocyclic nesting of sequence stratigraphic packages and autocyclic ramp profile were the primary factors controlling the lithofacies association. This Formation has been informally subdivided into: Lower Interval (C) mainly shaly sands, middle Interval (B) clean sands “main reservoir” and upper Interval (A) interbedded shale & sands. Petrographic analysis shows that the reservoir consists of quartz-rich sands, (typically>70%) and feldspar poor (mainly <5%). Nine authigenetic minerals in the Burgan sands have been identified: quartz, calcite, siderite, pyrite, glauconite along with four groups of the clay minerals. XRD analysis of clay fraction indicates the presence of four clay mineral groups in the Burgan reservoirs : kaolin, illite , chlorite and expandible- lattice mixed –layer, illite/ smectite.

  Ilam Formation is deposited at the late Cretaceous (Santonian) in a neritic/pelagic environment. Following the Ilam deposition, a general deepening has occurred and the Gurpi formation (shaly layer) was deposited. Ilam has thickness variation between 75-110m and structure has created as a result of upward movement of deep seated salt. Ilam reservoir in this field is regarded as a secondary hydrocarbon potential, and since now, no oil has been produced from this horizon. petrophysical and Seismic interpretation has been done for the Ilam reservoir, the geological models (structural and property models) are generated, with both deterministic and stochastic approaches. The seismic attributes as secondary variables, improved the kriging and Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) algorithm results for modeling of Ilam. This study reveals that Water Saturation is generally high, indicating that Ilam reservoir has low hydrocarbon potential, within the five reservoir potential zones, the zone 5 indicated a good original oil in place potential, especially in the western and central parts of the field.

  Esfandiar field is located at the northern part of the Persian . This field is a single large anticline with Lulu field of Saudi Arabia, with , 20 KM length and 7 KM width. The field was discovered in 1966 by drilling of well E1, on the northern culmination of the field. wells E3 and E2 were drilled at the top of structure in the southern part of the field. DSTs tests results of E1 proved that the top of Lower Ratawi formation contain 15 m oil column. E3 well test result regards as a dry hole DSTs test results of E2 were not conclusive due to inadequate testing plans . E4 Appraisal well contained, 14 m oil column at the Lower Ratawi. Log interpretations results indicated, E2 and E3 wells contains oil in Yamama formation in the southern part of the field which has not been tested properly. Lower Ratawi (Top oil-bearing zone ), Zone 'B' of Lower Ratawi (Oil bearing zone at bottom), Yamama were constructed based on the existing data. Petrophysical and geophysical data has been used for the Lower Ratawi reservoir, as a result the geological models (structural and porosity models), with applying, related software’s and neural network geophysical method are generated . At the conclusion, the recommended plan consists of horizontal drilling wells for oil production in Lower Ratawi in the north of the field has been proposed. Manuscript profile
