LOW OIL PRODUCTION RATES IN MAYSAN FIELDS

03/02/2019

LOW OIL PRODUCTION RATES IN MAYSAN FIELDS -%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AE%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B6_%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%AC_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%86%D9%81%D8%B7%D9%8A

Between the report of the Federal Audit Bureau in evaluating the performance of the policy of the Ministry of Oil in the development of fields of national effort for the company Maysan (fields of light and architecture) for the period from 2012 to 2017, a significant drop in oil production rates in these fields compared to the production rates in fields subject to rounds Licenses belonging to the Missan Oil Company, which develops its oil production to exceed (400%) during the same calendar period.

As the current studies are partial and not updated in the fields, although the field of architecture of the oil complexes in the formations (Musharraf, Khasib, Nahmur), and consists of the field of light of McMain (Musharraf and the river Omar), despite the importance of comprehensive study to determine the state of oil reservoirs and changes that result from the drilling and production operations and to maintain the stability of the oil reservoir without depletion.

The report pointed to the absence of a realistic plan by the Ministry of Oil for the seismic survey of the fields of light and architecture at the present time, which can identify the places of hydrocarbons (oil gathering areas) under the surface of the earth, which contribute to the planning of wells sites and distribution rather than exploratory operations with costs (Drilling of exploration wells), as well as the lack of laboratory equipment in the field of the company's (class surveys), which are based on the withdrawal of samples from rock layers for the analysis and collection of geological and geophysical data for the study of reservoirs, as well as the absence of a realistic plan The company on drilling at the

The report recommended the preparation of detailed reservoir studies covering all the oil reservoirs of the light and architecture, as well as their inclusion within the plans of the ministry for the conduct of seismic surveys. He also stressed the need to speed up the work of regular flares and the provision of personal testers of gases leaking from the valves to find out the amount of pollution in the field On the environmental side within the workplace and the safety of workers.

The main objective of the process of evaluating the performance of the Ministry of Oil to contribute to address the problem of low efficiency of the two fields and low production capacity of crude oil and gas because of its positive impact in filling the local need of energy and identify the real causes of the problem and provide solutions to address them.
