Training Course Overview
The growing gap between the discovery of large oil fields and global oil demand presents a significant opportunity to apply enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. These techniques aim to increase oil production in both mature fields and new discoveries. In recent years, major operators have concluded through experimental studies and reservoir simulations that early implementation of recovery processes leads to greater efficiency. This Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects training course teaches an integrated approach to water flooding and EOR, exploring how each process relates to reservoir characteristics and examining both successful and unsuccessful case studies from onshore and offshore fields, including chemical, miscible, and thermal EOR methods.
The training course is designed to give participants a comprehensive understanding of the different design aspects, types, screening criteria, and field applications of current and advanced EOR techniques. It covers the fundamentals, challenges, uncertainties, and field development of each EOR method. Reservoir characterization techniques necessary for EOR will be discussed and compared. The course will include real-world case studies from global fields, offering an interactive learning experience through lectures, industry videos, and case screenings.
This training course will feature:
- Rock and fluid properties for better reservoir characterization
- How to screen actual reservoir to select the suitable EOR method
- Different types, sub-types and results of EOR field cases (chemical, miscible and thermal)
- Required data, lab design approach and analysis of different EOR methods
- Current industry simulators and new advancements of EOR methods
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
