THE BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING

The organization will gain, in sending their employees to attend this training course, the following:

• Reduction in the cost of the well by proper selection of EOR method.

• Extending the well life and control it, achieve the optimum production using the most suitable EOR method.

• Ensuring the well integrity and avoiding all risks during application of EOR techniques.

 

By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your understanding:

1. Different classifications and mechanisms of different EOR methods

2. How to screen actual field cases to select the suitable EOR method

3. Different types and sub-types of current and advanced EOR processes

4. Maximization of oil recovery using Mobility Ratio (M) and Capillary Number (Nc)

5. New EOR techniques of MEOR, Enzyme, Seismic, Electric, EM-EOR, chemical-thermal hybrid methods
