Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

This course will present the fundamentals of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) applications. Concept and screening criteria for overall Enhance Oil Recovery types, injection process and simulation modeling approach will be discussed. Factors and reservoir properties affecting EOR injection process will be included.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
