Practical Aspects of CO2-EOR Project Development Course
Introduction:
It is well known that primary and secondary production schemes in fields containing heavy oil (< 20 °API) generally result in recoverable reserves of 15% or less. Reserves additions via new discoveries have been declining steadily in the last decades, and the increase of recovery factors from mature oilfields in known basins will be critical to meeting growing market demand. Oilfields containing heavy (and extra heavy) oils or bitumen, since they have low recovery by conventional means, provide significant scope for increasing ultimate recovery using thermal means.
Course Objectives:
This course will provide participants the opportunity to review and learn the most up-to-date information available about EOR technologies and strategies practiced today.
Who Should Attend?
Petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, production engineers, facilities engineers, managers, government officials, and others involved or interested in practical aspects of thermal enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies and strategies for improving oil recovery from oilfields containing heavy (and extra heavy) oil and bitumen.
