AbstractThe Natih field in Oman is a densely fractured carbonate reservoir with a STOIIP of 460 million m3. The displacement processes active in the Natih reservoir during the production period are very complex. Production started in 1967 with depletion of the reservoir resulting in production of oil from the fracture system and oil displacement by fluid expansion and solution gas drive. After these processes had ceased, gas oil gravity drainage in the secondary gas cap, water oil imbibition and water oil gravity drainage by aquifer below the secondary oil water contact continued to displace the oil from the matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
