The Bahrain field, first discovery in the southern part of the Arabian Gulf region, has been on continuous production since 1933. Production peaked at 78,000 bopd in 1970. Although many reservoirs have reached mature stages, considerable volumes of oil resources remain unexploited due to the difficult nature of the rock and fluids, complicated by heterogeneities, complex fluid distribution, unfavorable rock-fluid characteristics and compartmentalization, to name a few. The keys to unlock the potential of the Bahrain field lie in 1) understanding surface and subsurface production problems of each of the reservoirs1, 2) attracting the right expertise in the field of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and 3) attracting large investments to debottleneck and expand facilities, test EOR pilots, and implement new technologies2.
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.
