in 1984 (Figure 2.2). The Jannah Block contains three main producing oilfields, Al Nasr,
Dhahab and Halewah, which were discovered in the mid-1990’s and put in production in
1996 (Halewah), 1997 (Dhahab) and 1999 (Al Nasr). The small Aser field is no longer in
production, while one well produces from the Jannah field, which is the extension into the
Jannah Block of the large Al Raja gas condensate field located in Block 18. The
production rates for March, 2014 and cumulative production to end March, 2014 are
summarized in Table 2.1, though production from Dhahab was impaired by operational
problems in March: it had been 3,500 bopd in January, 2014 and reached 3,500 bopd
again in early June, 2014, when overall production from Block 5 exceeded 32,000 bopd.
