Course Description

Introduction

The world's industry's growing need for oil creates a great potential for more modern and current enhanced oil techniques to be applied in established oil fields. The goal of this Course N Carry Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) training course is to give participants a thorough understanding of the various design elements, kinds, screening standards, and field application of the most recent, cutting-edge, and emerging Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) processes.

This five-day Course N Carry training programme aims to provide an overview of the fundamentals, challenges, sophisticated solutions, and field applications of chemical, miscible, and thermal IOR techniques as well as developing technologies of various IOR processes with real-world examples. It is preferable to use IOR in a secondary mode these days. We will go over specific advanced IOR techniques including Vapour Extraction (VAPEX), Low Salinity (LSW), Microwave, Electric, Hybrid Chemical-Thermal-Miscible, and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). These methods all have issues with precise reservoir characterisation, challenging real-world severe heterogeneous reservoir screening, pilot design, and field implementations. This Course N Carry Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) training course combines industry videos, solved field cases, and lectures to create a dynamic learning environment.

Included in this Course N Carry training programme will be: 

  • Rock and Fluid Characteristics for Improved Reservoir Diction
  • Sort and evaluate various IOR techniques for reservoirs that are currently generating water. 
  • Examine the actual reservoir(s) to determine which IOR technique is suitable for it. 
  • Optimise Oil Recovery using Miscible, Chemical, and Thermal IOR Techniques 
  • Learn about the most recent developments in chemical, thermal, miscible, and hybrid IOR techniques. 
  • Recognise Low Salinity Water, Microwave, Electric, SAGD, VAPEX, THAI, and Microbial Methods. 
  • Recognise the various issues and suggested fixes for various IOR processes. 

Goals

Participants in this Course N Carry training course will be capable of the following by the end: 

  • Explain the various thermal, miscible, and chemical IOR processes.
  • Use the Mobility Ratio and Capillary Number to maximise oil recovery. 
  • Use reservoir characterization and real-world field screening for IOR 
  • Recognise IOR approaches that are chemical, miscible, thermal, and hybrid. 
  • Recognise recently created IOR techniques and contrast them with existing ones.
