Modified EOR Methods for Better Displacement
Disciplines: Reservoir
Course Description
This course offers an overview of modern EOR techniques with special emphasis on new ways of enhancements of classical EOR applications for better displacement efficiency. Recent R&D work on new EOR agents will also be discussed.
Topics:
- Rock and fluid properties affecting the EOR recovery factor
- Conventional EOR agents
- Water alternating gas injection
- ASP, Chemically enhanced WAG
- Chemically enhanced thermal EOR
- Unconventional EOR methods
