Why Choose This Course

The Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects training course provides the technical depth required to assess and select suitable recovery processes. Over five structured days, delegates examine reservoir characterisation, fluid behaviour and process selection. Coverage extends across screening criteria, reservoir fluid properties, waterflooding, chemical EOR, gas injection and thermal recovery methods.

Delegates analyse real field results from Daqing, Kentucky and the Norne Field, supported by industry simulators for CO2 and steam EOR processes. Day 5 addresses SAGD, in-situ combustion, THAI, microbial EOR, enzyme EOR and low salinity water. Together, these topics provide a complete perspective on established and emerging enhanced oil recovery techniques.

This Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects training course will highlight:

Applying screening criteria to EOR process selection
Characterising reservoirs and evaluating reservoir fluid properties
Examining waterflooding and chemical EOR methods
Assessing miscible and immiscible gas injection processes
Analysing field results and using CO2 and steam EOR simulators
Exploring advanced established and emerging recovery techniques

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

This course on best practices for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects aims to develop technical competence in EOR process selection, reservoir characterisation, and field implementation, covering screening criteria through advanced thermal and emerging recovery techniques.

Upon completing this course, delegates will be able to:

Evaluate and choose EOR methods — Use screening criteria and assess the mechanisms, constraints, and challenges associated with different EOR processes.
Perform reservoir characterisation for EOR — Apply RCAL, SCAL, fluid properties, and reservoir characterisation methods to guide the selection of EOR techniques.
Develop waterflooding and chemical EOR programs — Use frontal displacement theory and assess polymer, alkaline/polymer, and ASP flooding processes.
Implement miscible and immiscible gas injection — Assess CO2 and nitrogen injection techniques and establish minimum miscibility pressure for field implementation.
Examine thermal recovery processes — Use the principles of steam injection, SAGD, in-situ combustion, and the THAI process when making thermal EOR decisions.
Operate industry simulators — Use current simulators for steam and CO2 EOR processes to assist with project evaluation.
Assess emerging EOR techniques — Determine the applicability of microbial EOR, enzyme EOR, and low salinity water methods.

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This Enhanced Oil Recovery Training Course combines established adult-learning methods to support practical comprehension and lasting retention. Each session is structured to provide an interactive, cooperative setting in which participants can examine real-world EOR challenges.

The training is delivered through:

Instructor-guided presentations covering EOR principles and field applications
Classroom exercises addressing mobility ratio, screening criteria, and design stages
Analysis of field cases from chemical, miscible, and thermal EOR projects worldwide
Industry videos demonstrating EOR operations and simulation workflows
Practical activities that aid understanding of reservoir data and EOR design

Through these methods, participants acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical insight into the application of EOR best practices.

Day 5

Thermal and the EOR Processes

The Best Practices of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Projects training course begins with the fundamentals of oil recovery, including reservoir recovery mechanisms, displacement efficiency, the principal categories of EOR processes and the criteria used to screen their suitability. It then progresses to thermal recovery methods, examining steam-based processes and in-situ combustion, before addressing gas injection. This includes miscible and immiscible displacement, minimum miscibility pressure, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon gas injection, and water-alternating-gas applications.

The course subsequently covers chemical EOR processes, including polymer, surfactant and alkaline flooding and their combined applications, together with the reservoir and fluid considerations governing their use. The final part brings the technical topics into the wider context of EOR project development, moving from initial screening and laboratory evaluation through reservoir modelling, pilot design and field implementation. It also considers project monitoring, performance assessment, economic evaluation, uncertainty and risk when selecting and managing an appropriate EOR scheme.
