Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR): A to Z of Best Practices
Why Choose Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects Training Course?
The increasing gap between discovering giant oil fields and world oil demand creates very good opportunity for more applications of enhanced oil recovery techniques with objective to produce higher volumes of oil in mature oil fields and in new discoveries, in the recent years the major operators has envisioned and concluded as a result of experimental and reservoir simulation studies, that as sooner the recovery process is implemented the more efficient the recovery process will be. This dynamic Enhanced Oil Recovery training course teaches an integrated approach of water flooding and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), It explains the connection of each process to the reservoir characteristics and the results of success and failure cases in onshore and offshore fields covering the specifics of chemical, miscible and thermal EOR processes.
