The increasing gap between discovering giant oil fields and world oil demand creates very good opportunity for more applications of enhanced oil techniques in mature oil fields. This training course is designed to provide attendants with solid understanding of different design aspects, types, screening criteria, and field application of current and advanced types of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) processes.
This dynamic training course teaches an integrated approach of water flooding and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), It explains the connection of each process to the reservoir principles to the results of cases from the field and covers the specifics of chemical, miscible and thermal EOR processes. The course is designed as an interactive learning environment of lecturing, industry videos, and screening field cases.
What are the goals?
By attending this training course, you should achieve these goals:
Describe and apply different EOR processes
Reservoir characterization and screening actual fields for EOR methods
How to maximize oil recovery using Mobility Ratio and Capillary Number
Chemical EOR: polymer, alkaline-polymer, and alkaline/surfactant/polymer
Miscible and thermal EOR techniques and new advancements in EOR techniques
Who is this training course for?
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
Petroleum, Production & Reservoir Engineers
Processing engineers & other discipline engineers
Geologists & Petro physicists
Engineers who are new to the profession
Other individuals who need to know about EOR technologies
