The 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 course presents 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.
Today, it is better to apply EOR in a secondary mode and satisfy design requirements. This course presents data gathering, application’s workflow, problems, uncertainties, geology, and reservoir characterization techniques required for different EOR methods. Does the course explain why water flooding is needed? and reasons for its failures. The course also covers screening, application, and constraints of all EOR processes of chemical, miscible, and thermal. Detailed EOR methods will be covered with many actual field cases worldwide. In addition, advanced hybrid EOR methods will be discussed such as low salinity, microbial, and others will be presented and discussed. The course is designed as an interactive learning environment of lecturing, industry videos, and screening field cases
