    Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

    Uploaded by

    Mohanad Hussien
    This document provides an overview of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. It defines primary, secondary, and tertiary oil recovery. Secondary recovery involves water flooding or gas injection, while tertiary recovery uses special fluids, gases, or thermal methods like EOR after pressure has dropped. EOR aims to recover oil that cannot be produced conventionally and includes chemical, thermal, and miscible gas methods. The document examines various primary and secondary recovery drives and outlines common EOR techniques.

    Introduction
    Depending on the producing life of a
    reservoir, oil recovery can be defined in
    three phases: primary, secondary, and
    tertiary.

    Primary Recovery
    Primary recovery is recovery by natural drive
    energy initially available in the reservoir.
    There are six driving mechanisms that
    provide the natural energy necessary for oil
    recovery:
    1. Rock and liquid expansion drive (Compressibility
    Drive).
    2. Solution Gas (Depletion) Drive.
    3. Gas Cap (Segregation) Drive.
    4. Water Drive.
    5. Gravity Drainage Drive.
    6. Combination Drive.

    Secondary Recovery
    Secondary recovery is recovery by
    injection of external fluids, such as water
    and/or gas, mainly for the purpose of
    pressure maintenance and volumetric
    sweep efficiency.
    Such as Water Flooding and Gas Injection.

    Tertiary Recovery
    Tertiary recovery refers to the recovery
    after pressure drop due to secondary
    recovery.
    It is characterized by injection of special
    fluids such as chemicals, miscible gases,
    and/or the injection of thermal energy.

    EOR Definition
    Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes
    include all methods that use external sources
    of energy and/or materials (injection of gases
    or chemicals or thermal) into the reservoir to
    recover oil that cannot be economically
    produced by conventional means.

    Why EOR in Sudan?

    A lot of Oil in Place.


    High Water Cut.
    Good Oil Price.
    Time for Tertiary Recovery.
    Low Recovery Factor.
    Availability of Technology.
