1. Adopting robust Reservoir Management Strategy - • Reservoir Management Framework (RMFW)
2. Improved Oil Recovery (IOR)• Pressure Maintenance/Water Injection Projects
3. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)• Chemical flooding project • Thermal Projects
o Steamflood in carbonate reservoirso Down hole heating for deeper heavy oil reservoir
• Waterflood in heavy oil carbonate reservoirs
Key initiatives for enhancing recovery efficiency and oil production

Reservoir Management Framework
7
Benefits OF IOR Projects. In Wafra –Ratawi Ultimate
R.F has been increased from 20 % to 37 % by applying water Injection in phases.
6 % increase in ultimate recovery with water Dumpflood in Humma – Marrat
6 % gain in recovery is expected by water injection in S.F RLS on success of pilot.
Improved Oil Recovery (IOR)
8
Chemical Flooding for light oil.Chemical Flood is under evaluation as Post Water Flood EOR
Planned Chemical Flood
Expected Benefits Reserves Addition for KGOC with 6 %
increase in ultimate recovery.
Technology transfer for implementation in other water injection projects.
Sharing of state of art in EOR technology.
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) - Techniques
9
Thermal Projects for heavy and viscous oil Key Message Large Heavy oil resources exist in
Divided Zone. Ultimate Primary Recovery is
expected less than 10 %. Most of the heavy oil resources
can be recovered only by applying appropriate EOR methods
Thermal EOR potential is very significant, with the prospect of recovering additional 35 % of OIIP

KGOC is at the forefront of using leading industry technology in its business to optimize its onshore assets value and enhance reserves.
Opportunity exists to increase Divided Zone mature (Onshore) assets value through implementation of thermal EOR projects for heavy oil; innovative IOR techniques and chemical EOR for light oil.
KGOC endeavor to bring in state of the art technology in the oil and gas sector will result in development of local industry and knowhow.
