Assessment of Waste Disposal using Deep Slurry Injection: A Case Study in Kuwait

Abstract
Selection of a suitable reservoir depends on the reservoir characteristics of the repository: permeability, porosity, depth and reservoir volume. A prospective injection site requires certain quantitative or qualitative value for every parameter involved in a selection criterion. The Barremian-lower Aptian Zubair Formation, at the Burgan Oil Field in southern Kuwait, was selected as a study zone for deep slurry injection. The Zubair Formation is a major siliciclastic wedge, which ranges in thickness from 1400 ft in the north to 1180 ft in southern Kuwait. In cooperation with Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), the Formation characteristics related to Deep Slurry Injection were investigated. This study aims to evaluate the potentiality of slurry injection into the Zubair Formation, using log information from three existing oil wells in the Burgan Oil Field, and applying Nadeem and Dusseault (2007)'s geological assessment criteria (model) for deep solid injection Keywords - Reservoir, Slurry, Injection, Assessment
