Abstract

This industry's exploration approach, according to an examination, often limits new ideas and thwarts exploration activities. The existing exploration paradigm does not allow for sufficient exploratory activities to be done in huge, unexplored regions with high oil and gas potential. Outlining a new exploration model that utilizes equipment that is now accessible challenges the current paradigm in the field. As Iraq's first exploration well was drilled in the Kurdistan Region in 2005, the region experienced extraordinary amounts of exploration activity. More than 15 billion barrels of recoverable reserves have been identified as a consequence of drilling. Because of their proximity to the Iranian and Iraqi supergiant fields, the reservoirs found in this region are impacted by them. The bulk of Iraq's known oil and gas deposits are found in Cenozoic and Cretaceous strata, topped by Cenozoic evaporation. Northern and northeastern areas of Kurdistan lack Cenozoic strata in particular. Despite the lack of Cenozoic evaporate sequences a decade ago, it is now commonly acknowledged that significant volumes of hydrocarbons may be trapped. While some reveled in the sight of massive buildings and oil spills, others worried about the potential of a trap leaking. More investigation and drilling are needed for several of Kurdistan's surface anticlinal. Two-dimensional seismic and vertical drilling are the most common methods used in Kurdistan for drilling. The quantity of oil and gas that can be taken from the earth's crust is predicted to increase as a consequence of recent 3-D seismic investigations. Three rich fields have been discovered after a decade of considerable exploration: Khurmala, Khurke Tawke, and Khurke Tawke. Increased production and superior reservoir qualities have led to the discovery of new reserves in the Tawke Field. Additional fields and discoveries are expected to emerge in the future. Multilateral wells, for example, and hydraulic fracturing have yet to be used in the region despite the fact that several horizontal wells have been drilled. Within the fold belt or foreland, the vast bulk of Kurdistan's wells were drilled. Several wells have been accidentally drilled by thrusts, rather than purposely, rather than by design. The discovery of hydrocarbons under massive thrusts and even beyond apparent structural closure in certain strata has not prompted the drilling of any specialized wells. Still, there are issues in this industry, which has recently undergone a major structural shift. Construction of pipelines and a surge in exploration are both indications of the times. In Iraq's Kurdistan Region, oil and gas development and production might increase dramatically. Here we take a look back at the first ten years of exploration and assessment in Iraq's Kurdistan Region. Since there aren't many technical papers on this issue, the writers relied on their own knowledge and that of local firms to build this research.
