Abstract

The Mishovdag oil field is located in the southwest of Baku, Azarbaijan. The sandstone reservoirs consisting of five middle Pliocene age Horizons I, II, Ill, IV, and XII provide 40% of total total oil production from the Sirvan oil field region. The reservoir trap is an anticline, and its size is approximately 15 x 5 km. Since its discovery in 1956, 516 wells had been drilled and 198 of them are still producing from successive layers of sandstone formations.
