Enhanced Oil Recovery
Candidates:
Reservoir, production and petroleum engineers as well as other staff working in a multidisciplinary team who want to gain some familiarity with the terminology, concepts, practices, benefits, and limitations of EOR techniques.
Summary:
This course covers recovery enhancement methods that may be considered during all stages in the reservoir life cycle -primary production, water- flood, and gas injection periods. Example case studies are presented on projects from around the world; these enable participants to under- stand the technical and financial strengths and limitations of the methods.
