West Paydar Heavy Oil Field — Field Intelligence Summary
Executive Summary
The West Paydar Heavy Oil Field is a heavy oil development located in Iran’s Zagros Basin. It is operated by Dana Energy and is currently producing oil from two carbonate reservoirs, the Asmari and Sarvak formations. Production from the Sarvak formation commenced in 1996 with the PYW-1 well, while the Asmari reservoir provides additional heavy oil output. This field’s heavy crude characteristics and dual-reservoir profile require precise geosteering to optimize well placement and reservoir contact. Understanding its reservoir properties and production history is significant for geosteering engineers aiming to enhance recovery in similar heavy oil plays in the Zagros Basin.
