Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects
Why Choose this Training Course?
The increasing disparity between discovering substantial oil fields and global oil demand presents a significant opportunity for advancing enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. To address this, the Enhanced Oil Recovery training course offers a comprehensive exploration of integrated approaches to water flooding and EOR. Participants will learn how to apply these techniques to maximize oil production in both mature and newly discovered fields.This dynamic course provides an in-depth understanding of how different EOR processes—chemical, miscible, and thermal—interact with reservoir characteristics. It includes an analysis of successful and unsuccessful cases in both onshore and offshore environments, equipping participants with the knowledge needed to implement effective recovery strategies and optimize oil extraction.
The Enhanced Oil Recovery 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 training course presents basics, applications, problems, uncertainties and field development of each EOR method. Reservoir characterization techniques required for EOR will be explained and compared. The EOR methods and applications will be covered with actual field cases worldwide. The course is designed as an interactive learning environment of lecturing, industry videos, and screening field cases.
