Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) scheme management

2011 National Postgraduate Conference, 2011
Expanding industries require more capital than static ones. The petroleum industry is both rapidly growing, and highly technological. EOR processes typically employ a large amount of capital investment and operating expense, while having low incremental production over a long period of time.

Modified Starches Used as Additives in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

2017
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) implementation arises as a supplementary technology to conventional ones, optimizing the not-easily recoverable oil phase. Estimation of oil remnant in reservoirs approaches to seven billion of barrels, after primary and secondary recoveries.

Oil displacement mechanisms of viscoelastic polymers in enhanced oil recovery (EOR): a review [PDF]

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production, 2013
Polymer flooding has proved economically and technically successful in numerous enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, which can often increase oil recovery from 12 to 15 % of the original oil in place. When a reservoir is flooded with viscous polymer solution, the mobility ratio between the displacing fluid (i.e., water) and the displaced fluid (i.e ...

Nanoemulsion Formulation Using Biodegradable Oil in Enhance Oil Recovery (EOR)

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2015
Nanoemuslion is type of dispersion of emulsion in nanoscale from the effect that forms by shear that inducing rupturing. This small particle size of distribution conduit a higher efficiency in the sweeping trapped oil and lowering the IFT as the small size of nanoparticle provided a larger surface area contact to the reservoir.

Microfluidics: an enabling screening technology for enhanced oil recovery (EOR)

Lab on a Chip, 2016
Recent applications of microfluidics and microtechnology are reviewed to show that microfluidic devices can be useful tools in investigation and visualization of such processes used in the Oil & Gas industry as enhanced oil recovery, fluid propagation, flooding, fracturing, emulsification and many others.

Utilization of Surfactant Flooding Processes for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2015
Surfactant flooding is a well-known enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that has been used worldwide for decades. The surfactant can meaningful lower interfacial tension and change the wetting properties. Surfactant related recovery processes are of increasing interest and importance because of high oil prices and the urge to meet energy demand.

The influence of steam injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) on the quality of crude oil

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2017
ABSTRACTCurrently, due to reduction of oil reservoirs and the increasing need for oil as the main source for world energy, the need for production of heavy oil reservoirs is inevitable. The main purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of some operational and reservoir parameters and their impact on thermal and productive efficiency of ...

The Effectiveness of Surfactant on Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) on a Mature Reservoir

Volume 7: Engineering Education; Fluids Engineering
Abstract Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is important for extracting the remaining oil from mature reservoirs. Oil Production Companies all over the world are trying to increase oil recovery and decrease water production. Finding new methods for EOR is critical for keeping the oilfield profitable for many.
