Geological Information
1. Introduction

Kirkuk field is super giant field comprising three Domes that extend from southeast to the
northwest by about 100 Km long and 4 Km wide. The two main domes (Baba and Avanah)
are located in Kirkuk, while the third one (Khurmala) is located in Erbil. It has been
decided that Erbil will take the lead in managing and developing the Khurmala Dome. For
that purpose, Kar Group working with MNR has been asked to operate and maintain the
field.

The Khurmala Dome is located about 80 km to the north west of Kirkuk and 35 km west of
Erbil, lies fully on the territory of Erbil Governorate. The Khurmala Dome is about 22 km
long and 3 km wide. Hydrocarbons are produced from the Tertiary (main limestone)
reservoir, a fold hydrocarbon trap (Anticline fold) and rock type is Dolomitic limestone
with reasonably good porosity and permeability, which is characterized by natural fractures.
The oil column thickness is thought to be about 60 m sandwiched between a large gas cap
and aquifer. The estimated Gas-Oil Contact is located at a depth of 593 m MSL and Oil-
Water Contact at a depth between 700 and 650 m MSL depending on location.

One Vertical oil producer well (Development Well) is proposed to be drilled and completed
in the tertiary (main limestone) reservoir. This will be achieved through selecting a
completion design that secures the highest sustainable Productivity Index and consequently
production potential around (8-10) KBOPD. It is envisaged that either open hole (per foot)
completion or cased hole completion with completion interval ranged between (25-30)
meters, target zone true vertical depth is ranged between (950 – 1000) m RTKB will be
selected based on log and test analysis.

2. Geology
2.1 The Field Structure:
Khurmala consists of asymmetrical anticline , the dip of strata on both side is not equals ,the dip
limbs of south west is more than the dip of north east , and the direction of dip of plunge and dip
angle in khurmala differ than BaBa and Avanah dome ( in opposite direction ) .
The khurmala lies in northwestern part from Kirkuk field consist of third dome for this field, and
separated from Avanah field Debbaga Saddle. The long of the dome about, (20-22) km.and wide
about (3.5) km. this dome contain a large quantity of free – gas, so contain oil column thickness
about (104 ) m. till (1994) drilled (39 ) wells , after drilled (24 ) wells …….etc. density of oil equals
( 34.5 ) degrees .Now but plans of developed the field by (KRG ) . Tertiary age formations are the
main reservoirs for oil production from Khurmala Dome and located at depth ranged between (420 –
720) meter below mean sea level, mainly consisted from limestone beds and for this study divided
into four reservoir units.

2.3 Stratigraphy:

Well K-442 (KDN -16) Final Geological report

2.3.1Stratigraphy of Tertiary:
The rocks exposed in the area have been subdivided into the Fars and Bakhtyari series (in NE
flanks, N Plunge near well k - 295), which are more or less lithological units, have their greatest
influence in evolution of the present-day topography. Generally, their exposures are confined to
time anticline belts. Whereas in the synclines alluvium and other recent deposits cover the most of
the sequence. The Stratigraphy sequences of the drilled wells encountered from the youngest to the
oldest as described below:

1 -Upper/ Middle Fars formation: -(U. Miocene) (0 -632 ) m.


Estimated true thickness: 632m.

The formation is predominantly of clastic one, it consists of an alternating series of Sandstone,


reddish brown, partly grey, fine to medium grains, inter bedded with Claystone, reddish to red
brown, light grey soft, slightly hard argillaceous, calcareous, semi plastic, show gradation into
Marley to blue soft plastic Calcareous and Argillaceous with Anhydrite nodules, increase towards
the base of the sequence. It found near tops of formation deposited of fresh water limestone white
to buff in this well not recovered due to taken of Samples intervals.

2 -Lower Fars formation: - (M. Miocene). (632- 902) m.


“Estimated true thickness: 270 m.

The formation consists of alternation of Gypsum, Anhydrite, lagoonal Limestone markers, Marls,
and Siltstone with occasional rocks Salts. The top of the formation is marked by massive
Anhydrite known as (A0). The thickness of the formation in Khurmala dome
LF - is subdivided in to a number of units:

A - Upper Red Beds: - (632 -682) m.


Estimated true thickness: 50m.
The unit consists of an alternating sequence of reddish – brown, fine Sandstone, red siltstone,
molted blue Marls, sporadic with thin bands of Limestone markers and Anhydrite.

B - Seepage Beds :-( 682 -746) m.


Estimated true thickness: 64 m.
This unit consists of thick bands of white crystalline Anhydrites, inter bedded with bands of
reddish or blue Marls & Siltstone with thin bands of limestone (B1 – B4).

C - Saliferous Beds: (746 – 858)m.


Estimated true thickness: 112m.
This unit is variable in thickness due to salt tectonic. It consists of alternations of Anhydrite,
Gypsum, Halite, Marl, and rare band of limestone(S-1) marker, which is very useful marker, this
marker was recognized in k -442, KDN-16.

11
Well K-442 (KDN -16) Final Geological report

D -Transition Beds :-( 858 - 902) m.


Estimated true thickness: 44m.
This unit consists of a succession of thick beds of Anhydrite with some Gypsum inter bedded with
thin bands of Limestone and Marls, in this sequence several marker horizons have been established
over Kirkuk field, namely (T1 - T5) Limestone.

3 - Basal fars Conglomerates'(BFC): - (902-906) m.


Estimated true thickness: 4m.
This is conglomeratic limestone which is on the whole white and having indications of gas and oils
staining. The section is full of miliolids, dendritina sp. and reworked nummulitesspp. The base
represented surface of Unconformity

4 -Avanah Dens: - (Upper / middle Eocene). (906 - 982) m.


Estimated true thickness: 76m.
This is fairly variable formation, having predominately a recrystallized fore – reef type lithology
but with some marly. The rock is porous, vuggy, fractured and locally stylolitic. Fauna includes
nummulites spp. Discocyclina sp., miliolids, textularids, alveeolina spp. Orbitolites sp., shell
fragments, echinoid debris, and algae. The rock is frequently pyritic and contains abundant calcite
growths.

5 -Avanah Porous: - (Upper / middle Eocene). (982 - 1037) m.


Estimated true thickness: 55 m.
The well entered the gas cap of the (Main limestone) pay on this dome (khurmala), passed through
the oil column and into the water zone.

6 - Khurmala (E4a): - (Lower Eocene). (1037 - 1071) m.


Estimated true thickness: 34m.
The top of this formation is placed at the incoming of a silty, marly limestone. It is mad up
essentially of silty limestone which grade locally into calcareous sandstone; with thin shale
developments on the whole the rock is dolomitic, with all gradations of recrystallization. The
section is predominantly dense, but with local porous section. Pyrites is common. Some traces of
gastropods and foraminifera can be made out, including miliolids, textularids and valvulinids.

2.6 Well tops correlation.

These are in concords with results obtained from neighboring wells correlation with the section
reached in wells nearby on the same dome is good. And differ from well to wells

. The well KDN-16(K-442) correlated structurally with other neighboring wells (K-306, K-439) as
the shown table below.

1. Lower Fars (URB, Seepage bed, Saliferouse bed, Transition bed) Formation in KDN-16(K-442)
the top coming lower than (K-306, K-439).

2. Avanah Dense Formation in KDN-16(K-442) the top coming lower than (K-306, K-439).

3. Kurmala Formation in KDN-16(K-442) the top coming lower than (K-306, K-439).
So our well is deeper than the other wells.
