SPE Enhanced Oil Recovery Workshop

Today large amount of Oil & Gas companies’ assets mainly consists of mature fields. Current approaches and methods of oil recovery are not always effective, so the issue of oil recovery enhancement becomes more and more important for all types of reservoirs. Major world reserves depletion and problems of new fields’ development result in operating companies focus existing wells productivity, oil recovery optimization and stimulation of oil flow. Low productivity reservoirs, high water‐cut oil fields, high‐viscosity oil, and fractured reservoirs show us importance of EOR methods application as both promising technologies and technology challenge to improve oil and gas development efficiency in current situation with low oil price.

Participants will have an opportunity to share their own experience, discuss existing methods and results of oil recovery enhancement. Workshop will review the basic methods of EOR, including thermal, gas, chemical and combined methods of formation stimulation, case studies and perspectives of their application as well as implementation of new technologies.
