Enhanced Oil Recovery - kurs
Enhanced Oil Recovery
The participants obtain sufficient knowledge of challenging forces and processes within the reservoir. This knowledge will form the building blocks to be able to understand synthesize and evaluate different approaches of how to get more hydrocarbons out of a specific reservoir type.

Innhold
The subject is enhanced oil recovery (EOR) used to improve recovery beyond that expected by pressure depletion. Water injection, hydrocarbon (HC) gas injection, and combined water/gas injection (WAG) are the most common EOR methods used in the industry today. Other EOR methods (typically more expensive and technically more complicated) covered are non-hydrocarbon (CO2 and N2) injection, compositional effects e.g vaporization, and developed miscibility, both in conventional reservoirs and naturally fractured reservoirs. The course will primarily consider reservoir aspects of EOR methods using HC gas and water injection. Key parameters include microscopic (pore-level) recovery, areal and vertical sweep efficiency. Variations in reservoir rock – i.e. heterogeneities – and fluid property variations with depth can have a strong influence on the success of EOR methods. Therefore we will concentrate on accurate geologic and fluid description and its influence on recovery.
The course can be part of NTNU's Master of Science in Oil and Gas Technology.
