Abstract:The Nimr fields comprise a group of medium size mature oil fields in the Southern part of Oman. This study focuses on Nimr-A and Nimr-E fields. The fields have similar reservoir properties and have been in commercial production since 1980 through the depletion. The strong regional bottom aquifer provides pressure support in these fields. The combination of a strong aquifer and relatively high viscosity of Nimr crude (~250-700 cP at reservoir conditions) resulted in the rapid development of water conning, limit… Show more
