Introduction
The Falah Oil Field is owned and operated by the Dubai Petroleum Establishment in
the United Arab Emirates. The field is located 90 kilometers Dubai Offshore in the
vicinity of the two biggest oil fields in Dubai, i.e., Fateh and Fateh Southwest.
Falah was discovered in 1972 and the production of oil was commenced in the year
1978. The oil produced is a light oil of about 33 o API gravity.
The current offshore field facilities include 71 processing, compression, water
injection and well-head platforms. Currently, the field produces through gas lift with
the operations of 17 compression trains providing 1 bcfd gas lift capacity to all the
Dubai Offshore Fields which include Fateh, Fateh Southwest, Falah, Rashid and Al
Jalila. The oil produced is stored in steel chambers erected on the sea floor which
are termed Khazzans.
The PVT data of the samples obtained from the wells show highly under-saturated
crude of 33o API gravity with a bubble point pressure of about 1650 psig and about
25 ppm H2S.
Wells high on structure penetrate the lower part of the formation and are
characterized by fine grains with relatively low porosity and permeability. Further
down-dip, the wells cover the entire Mishrif Formation and therefore comparatively
higher porosities and permeabilities are observed. Whole and plug core analysis
along with special core analysis indicate that the whole plug porosities are 2-3%
lower than the plug core porosities. As stated earlier, the entire reservoir is divided
into four hydrocarbon bearing zones. The lowermost interval has a porosity of about
15% with permeabilities varying from 5-10 mD. The next layer has porosities
varying from 18-23% with a permeability range of 15-20 mD. The top layer, along
with the layer beneath it has an average porosity of about 25% with an average
permeability of about 50 mD.
