NAFOORA – AUGILA UNIT: RESERVOIR PERFORMANCE AND THE ROLE OF GRANITE PRODUCTIVITY-A CASE STUDY

Abstract

This paper discusses the role of Granite productivity in the Nafoora-Augila Unit, Nafoora Field, Libya. Three distinct lithologic members, Sandstone, Limestone, and Granite constitute an interconnected single reservoir. To date, this reservoir has produced more than 900 million barrels of oil. Wells penetrating Granite only have contributed insignificantly to this field performance. The salient characteristics of the Granite member in this reservoir are discussed along with the overall performance of this prolific reservoir.
