Abstract

The cretaceous (Albian) BURGAN FORMATION is one of the most important reservoirs in the hydrocarbon fields located in the Persian Gulf and Kuwait. In order to evaluate reservoir quality and the factors controlling reservoir properties, detailed geological (from lithological and sedimentological point of views) and reservoir studies (core analysis) have been carried out on 62.5 m of core samples from Burgan reservoir in the Foroozan field. This study shows that the BURGAN FORMATION, which mainly consists of very fine to medium-grained sandstone, claystone, carbonaceous shale, and some limited carbonate intervals, includes eight sedimentary FACIES deposited on a tide-dominated ESTUARY SYSTEM. These are: (1) cross-bedded channel sandstones, (2) mud flat/bay, (3) sand bar, (4) sand flat/mud flat alternation, (5) marine-influenced mud flat/shore face, (6) marine influenced sand flat/shore face, (7) restricted bay/marsh, and (8) oolitic shoal. Core POROSITY and PERMEABILITY measurements of Burgan core plugs show that the POROSITY and PERMEABILITY range from 3 to 36.3% and 0.6 to 13343 mD respectively. Core POROSITY and PERMEABILITY values indicate that there is a good relationship between reservoir properties and depositional FACIES of the BURGAN FORMATION. Fine to medium-grained channel sandstones have the best reservoir quality, whereas shale and claystone samples belonging to mud flat to restricted bay/marsh settings have low POROSITY and PERMEABILITY and considered as non-reservoir intervals. A comparison between core POROSITY/permeability values and grain size and textural parameters of the Burgan unconsolidated sands shows a good relationship between reservoir quality and grain size/sorting.
