Heavy oil in Middle East fractured carbonate reservoirs account for 25-30% of the total oil in place in the region. Production of heavy oil from such reservoirs is thought to play an important role in the future of the ever-growing world\'s energy consumption in which Iran\'s recoverable heavy oil is more than 85 billion barrels. The offshore Ferdows field in Iran is reportedly on the order of 30 billion barrels of oil and holds perhaps the greatest promise to add significant future carbonate heavy oil production within the region. With depletion of conventional petroleum reserves and increase of hydrocarbon fuel demand, there is no doubt that there will be a tremendous demand on the development of heavy oil reservoirs in the coming decades. Despite its strategic importance, recovery of heavy crude from fractured carbonate reservoirs has found limited applications due to the complexit.. View More»
