Enhanced Oil recovery with gas Injection

The course contains both theoretical and practical material so that an engineer can apply learned knowledge to his/her unique reservoir. The course discusses process optimization to reduce production costs while maximizing oil recovery and income.

You Will Learn:

•  Distinguish rock and fluid characteristics that influence gas flooding recovery
• Understand key factors and process fundamentals that affect volumetric sweep and displacement efficiency
• Estimate key parameters through problem assignments and spreadsheets
• Specify components of a well-designed gas flooding process
• Evaluate each field project based on physical principles and select the proper solvent and injection scheme
• Use compositional simulation to address basic recovery mechanisms and perform process optimization Identify problems, key parameters, and trends from field case studies

Course Content:

•  Reservoir characterization and phase behavior.
• Flow regimes and sweep Immiscible gas/water flood mechanisms.
• First contact miscibility mechanisms Multi-contact miscibility mechanisms.
• Reservoir simulation, WAG design, and performance forecasting.
• Performance and monitoring of field projects.
