Talk:Burgan field

Peak Production
Looking at the wood makenzie data the peak production was back in 1972 when it hit just over 2.4 Mbbl/d, just wondering where the data saying it was in 2005 came from. Cheers Philbentley 09:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Updating production and reserve data
I've made a try at this, but publicly available information is sparse, sometimes contradictory, and often has internal inconsistencies. Here are some details, for future efforts:


 * The Great Burgan Field, Kuwait by Rasoul Sorkhabi, GeoExpro Volume 9,  Issue 1,  2012. This is a new resource and has some good, well-sourced  information new to the article -- but also troubling evidence of sloppiness: Sorkhabi quotes a Foreign Policy article (14 August 2006)  ( free account required) as Burgan having 66.72 bbo, but the actual figure in the article is 66 to 72 -- and that is unsourced by FP, and looks to me more like an estimate of the total recoverable resource (see article and List of oil fields ). Sorkhabi is an experienced and credible source ; this shouldn't have gotten past him.


 * The caveat that "the reserves and production data for Burgan are shrouded in a cloud of secrecy, uncertainty, and controversy" is from Sorkhabi.


 * Note that the recoverable resource, production estimates, and remaining reserve estimates currently in the article won't reconcile.

Disclosure: I'm a mining geologist, so I may be missing obvious things in the petroleum-geology world.And this review took way longer than I expected :-[ --Pete Tillman (talk) 23:20, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT
You don't seem to have done anything to the existing page so I can't give you any credits at this point which is a pity. please make sure to describe the geological setting of the sedimentary basin as well as significant amounts of detail concerning the major components of the hydrocarbon system including source, seal, reservoir and trapping mechanism. Stratigraphic diagram or table would probably be a bonus. Pclift (talk) 16:47, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
