Course Description
Enhanced Oil Recovery Training Course
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to select the enhanced recovery method that best suits the conditions of the reservoir which they operate and also maximise reservoir recovery at the least cost, ensuring maximum investment efficiency. Technical challenges of enhanced oil recovery phase; increasing complexity, cost/benefit consideration, facilities modifications and personnel training will be discussed. A critical review of the emerging technologies, future R & D directions will be devoted an extensive coverage. Participants will learn to forecast reservoir performance under various EOR methods employing the proper empirical, analytical, and simulation tools.
Course Objectives
To acquire basic theory of Enhanced Oil Recovery, analyse more common methods of EOR and learn how to carry out EOR screening. Learn how to use Thermal, Chemical and Solvent methods: selection criteria, recovery targets and challenges, design considerations, case studies.
Course Delivery Approach
•   This course has both theoretical and practical components. Participants will learn “How to select an EOR Method”
•   Practical experience are mentioned as examples
•   Participants have opportunity to discuss own particular cases
Who Should Attend
This short course is intended for all Engineers responsible for the exploitation of Hydrocarbons Reservoirs. The training is suitable for Reservoirs Engineers, managers and/or supervisors of Reservoirs Engineers, Geologists, Geophysicists, Integrated Studies Engineers and Reservoirs Simulation Engineers.
