Introduction

The increasing demand of oil by the global industry develops very good opportunity for more applications of current and advanced enhanced oil techniques in mature oil fields. This course is designed to provide participants with comprehensive understanding of different design aspects, types, screening criteria, and field application of current, advanced and emerging technologies of Enhanced oil Recovery (EOR) processes.

Course Objectives

Rock and fluid properties for better reservoir characterization
Classify and screen different EOR methods for current producing reservoirs
Screen actual reservoir(s) to select the best EOR method for your reservoir
Maximize oil recovery using chemical, miscible, and thermal EOR methods
Understand different problems and proposed solutions of different EOR processes

Training Methodology

Target Group

Petroleum, Production, Reservoir Engineers, and anyone wishing to gain an Advanced EOR. This includes, but is not limited to, anyone new to the oil and gas industry, contractors working with clients in the industry, or anyone within a non-technical role in the industry who is seeking a greater understanding of operations.
