About the Course
The Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods Training Course provides a comprehensive understanding of advanced techniques used to improve hydrocarbon recovery from mature and challenging oil reservoirs. The course examines the principles, technologies, screening criteria, design considerations, implementation strategies, and economic evaluation of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects.
Participants will explore major EOR approaches, including thermal, gas injection, and chemical recovery methods, while examining how reservoir characteristics, fluid properties, pressure conditions, well configuration, and field maturity influence method selection. The course also covers reservoir simulation, injection strategies, production optimization, monitoring, performance evaluation, and EOR project economics.
Through practical examples and field-based case studies, participants will develop the ability to evaluate EOR opportunities, select appropriate recovery techniques, identify operational challenges, and develop strategies for maximizing recovery while managing technical and economic risks.
