	Oil field
		Because an oil field may be remote from civilization, establishing a field is often an extremely complicated exercise in logistics.
		Thus, the typical oil field resembles a small self-contained city in the midst of a landscape dotted with oil derricks[?] and/or the pump jacks known as "nodding donkeys" because of their bobbing arm.
		The largest are the Ghawar Field[?] in Saudi Arabia and the Burgan Field[?] in Kuwait, with more than 60 billion barrels estimated in each.

	AEHS Magazine- October 2001
		In the Burgan oil field, Kuwait’s largest producer and the second largest field in the world, 515 oil wells were either set on fire or were damaged and allowed to gush.
		The soot and oil mist eventually settled in the oil fields, urban and desert areas, and in the Arabian Gulf being driven by the predominantly northwest-southeast winds.
		This study, which uses satellite imagery to monitor the spatial and temporal changes in the oil lakes in the affected oil fields, is part of a multidisciplinary study being conducted by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research to monitor the long-term effect from the oil lakes and oil-polluted soils.

	t r u t h o u t - Kuwait Oil Field, World's Second-Largest, 'Exhausted'
		Kuwaiti oil production from the world's second-largest field is "exhausted" and falling after almost six decades of pumping, forcing the government to increase spending on new deposits, the chairman of the state oil company said.
		To boost oil supplies, "Burgan by itself won't be enough because we've exhausted that, with its production capability now much lower than what it used to be," al-Zanki said during an interview in his office in Ahmadi, 20 kilometers south of Kuwait City.
		Burgan on its own had enough reserves to support 2 million or 3 million barrels of daily output, but those have already been produced, al-Zanki said in the interview two days ago.

	Burgan Field: Kuwait's Biggest Oil Field Starts to Run Out of Oil - AME Info FZ LLC (United Arab Emirates) 12nov2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The peak output of the Burgan oil field will now be around 1.7 million barrels per day, and not the two million barrels per day forecast for the rest of the field's 30 to 40 years of life, Chairman Farouk Al Zanki told Bloomberg [article below].
		The news about the Burgan oil field also lends credence to the controversial opinions of investment banker and geologist Matthew Simmons.
		The natural world has an uncanny ability to hit back at the arrogance of man, and perhaps a reassessment of reality at this point is called for, rather than a reliance on oil statistics that may owe more to political maneuvering than geological facts.

		The Burgan Field is second most important oil field in the Middle East behind the Ghawar Field in Saudi Arabia.
		Burgan was developed rapidly and production first exceeded 1 million barrels per day in 1955 and 2 million barrels per day in 1968.
		The Burgan structure is an anticlinal dome with numerous radial faults.

		Burgan gusher or not, however, for many oil analysts, the reports that Kuwaiti reserves are significantly less than claimed are not news.

		And further, as the article notes, the IEA estimates are all based on fields like Burgan and Cantarell continuing to produce near peak volume for decades, something that is not going to occur.
		Burgan seems to have been producing 1.35mb/d to 1.6mb'd or so for a while, I'm seeing a few different figures, partly because of confusion between Burgan and Greater Burgan area which includes other fields.
		Burgan could produce over 2mb/d if the taps were opened, note the spike in 1991 when the wellheads were blown off and oil spewed into the air.

	The Oil Drum \| Reserve Appreciation And Incremental Flows
		It seems apparent that in a mature, depleted field like Burgan, it is no longer possible to increase the incremental flows and probably what is "exhausted" there is the ability to apply secondary recovery methods to keep the reservoir at pressure.
		And we can now see that IEA statements like "Greater Burgan's output is expected to increase steadily to 1.6 mbd in 2015, and then decline slightly to around 1.5 mbd by 2030" as quoted by HO in Burgan and the other fields in Kuwait are simply nonsense.
		The problem with Cantarell is that it's a carbonate field in which the decline is abrupt, up to 15% per year, and if to this factor is added the difficulty of extraction, we have that the rate of decline can be even greater.

		The field is Burgan, which is the 2nd largest in reserves and the 3rd largest in production.
		Greater Burgan is expected to remain the single most important contributor to production throughout the projection period, but the share of smaller producing fields - such as Raudhatain and Umm Gudair- will rise.
		Excluding additional output through advanced technologies, Greater Burgan's output is expected to increase steadily to 1.6 mbd in 2015, and then decline sllightly to around 1.5 mbd by 2030.

		Burgan had the largest production wells of any of the fields in Kuwait and would prove to be some of the toughest because of the build up of coke, or solidified oil, around the wellheads.
		The coke, which sometimes covered acres around the well, would have to be dug away from the wellhead before the well could be capped.
		As the other firefighting companies finished the smaller fields in the north and west, they were moved to the Burgan.

		If the decline is similar to other giant fields, the decline could be very rapid, meaning Kuwait will probably have peaked this year.
		From what I've read, though, a significant factor in the current decline of Burgan is the fact that Saddam Hussein torched all the wells in the wake of his retreat in 1991.
