Enhanced Oil Recovery

SUITABLE:

Petroleum engineers who need knowledge in fundamental and practical aspects of enhanced oil recovery. Basic reservoir engineering is a prerequisite.

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the course, delegates will:

• Learn the fundamental of EOR techniques;
• Learn how to calculate injection requirements for a reservoir;
• Learn how to estimate the reservoir response;
• Learn how to design wells, surface installations and monitoring systems;
• Understand when and where is appropriate to use certain techniques, etc.

SUMMARY:

• Introduction and fundamental processes: What/why and how is EOR, screening criteria, viscous, capillary and gravity forces, geologic factors in EOR, etc
• Thermal recovery: Introduction to thermal EOR, heat transfer in reservoirs, steam generation and properties, etc.
• Miscible/Gas injection processes
• Chemical floods
