Identification method of thief zones in carbonate reservoirs based on the combination of static and dynamic data: A case study from the Cretaceous Mishrif Formation in the H oilfield, Iraq
Carbonate reservoirs usually have a strong heterogeneity. The zones with relatively high permeability will form a channel through which fluids can easily flow. These channels are called thief zones. Thief zones have notable effects on oil or gas production, for example, high oil recovery rates at th...
