Overview of Eor

The document provides an overview of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. It discusses various EOR techniques including thermal recovery using steam injection, gas injection using miscible gases, and chemical recovery using polymers, alkalis, or microbes. It also addresses factors that impact EOR screening such as reservoir properties, depth, permeability, and oil characteristics. Global EOR potential is estimated at 2.5 million barrels per day or 3% of total oil production. While EOR recovery rates depend on the technique used and reservoir properties, typical recovery factors are estimated to be 10-20% of original oil in place.

EOR SCREENING PROCESS – MAESTRO
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
„ Preliminary screening using analytical models:
− gravity/viscous balance
− sweep efficiencies
− minimum miscibility pressures
− thermal stability of chemicals
− optimal pressure for gas injection
„ Reservoir represented by layer cake geology
„ Understand expected displacement mechanisms
„ Assess impact of uncertainty
RAPID SIMULATION
„ Eliminate non-viable reservoir/process combinations
„ Uses multi-purpose reservoir simulator driven by Excel for
data input and results analysis
– appropriate representation of
geology and production strategy
– full representation of complex EOR
techniques, including gas injection
– light and viscous oils
– horizontal and vertical wells

„ First pass optimisation of project


design and assessment of key uncertainties
