Abstract This article will show how a standardized rule-based approach was used by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) to shorten the cycle time required to mature the opportunity of implementing waterflood developments in small-to-medium sized satellite oil fields in the South of the Sultanate of Oman. The standardized concept relies on a common development strategy for a portfolio of satellite fields with similar reservoir and fluid characteristics that are still under depletion or in the early stage of waterflood. The targets are early monetization, driving cost efficiency through standardization & replication, and increasing recovery factor through the accelerated implementation of field-wide waterflood. This is achieved by leveraging excess capacity in existing facilities, applying analytical workflows for forecasting, standardizing well design and urban planning, and by applying the learnings and best practices from nearby fields that already have mature developments.

The Sultanate of Oman is located in the south-east of the Arabian Peninsula. It has a distinctive history and subcultures. Its seafaring tradition has endowed the country with various ethnic and linguistic groups, with Arabic being a dominant language and Ibadhi being the dominant sect of Islam (Al-Nami, 1971). Oman in the 1970s saw rapid development, triggered by the discovery of oil, which took place under enlightened new political leadership.

Steam Flood

Observed performance of the specially designed steam flood pilot project (implemented and currently operating in the unconsolidated, strong water drive and relatively deep of Mesozoic Sand reservoir in IXYZM Field, Sultanate of Oman) indicates encouraging results of thermal EOR. This reservoir has been produced under primary cold production with horizontal wells but production history and simulation models indicate that ultimate recovery, even with dense well spacing, will be limited to less than 15% of OOIP. Cyclic steam stimulation has been applied in several wells prior to steam flood pilot implementation to confirm steam injectivity and productivity improvement. Reservoir simulation and analytical analysis led to the design of a two-pattern pilot using 2 vertical injectors and 3 horizontal producers. Steam injection started in late 2018 and a complete surveillance program is undergoing to monitor all key parameters related to injection and production performance.

ABSTRACT The Ediacaran–Cambrian Ara Group of the South Oman Salt Basin in the Sultanate of Oman is one of the world’s oldest petroleum systems and holds some of the most important hydrocarbon reserves in the country. However, the Ara Group salt and isolated carbonate platforms, or ‘stringers’, are known only from the subsurface and deformed fragments brought to the surface in salt-piercing domes. Thus, determining Ara source and reservoir facies architecture at high resolution is a particular problem. Here we present the results of field surveying in the Haushi-Huqf region over a number of years specifically to investigate the possibility of Ara Group equivalents being exposed in outcrop. Defined here, for the first time, is the new Sirab Formation, which we incorporate into the top of the Neoproterozoic–Cambrian Huqf Supergroup. In general, it conformably overlies the Buah Formation. However, at some localities on what were probably fault-bounded palaeo-topographic highs, the Sirab Formation rests unconformably on eroded Buah Formation or directly on the even older Shuram Formation. The Sirab Formation is overlain with marked angular unconformity by the siliciclastics of the Haima Supergroup. As such, the Sirab Formation occupies the same lithostratigraphic position as the Ara Group subsurface. We subdivide the formation into three principal members; the lower Ramayli Member, middle Shital Member and upper Aswad Member. A fourth, the Salutiyyat Member, can be recognised where the Sirab Formation lies on eroded Nafun Group palaeo-topographic highs and is probably the chrono-stratigraphic lateral equivalent at least in part of the upper Ramayli Member. The Ramayli and Shital members contain evaporite units, including halite beds, and fault- or eustatically-controlled cyclical peritidal carbonates indicating that the Al Huqf area was a shallow trough or graben during this period within a regional structural high. The middle and upper members contain significant microbial build-ups including thrombolite framestone reefs, which are the principal reservoir subsurface in the Ara ‘stringers’, and rare crinkly laminites which are the presumed source rock at depth. Whilst the precise age dates for the formation and chronostratigraphy of each member still need to be resolved, it is clear that the Sirab Formation includes exposures of litho- and bio-facies present in the Ara Group and thus could provide useful surface analogues for the petroleum geology of the South Oman Salt Basin and Central Oman High in the future.
