Why Choose This Course

The Certificate in Enhanced Oil Recovery Best Practices training course provides an integrated understanding of water flooding and enhanced oil recovery for mature fields and new discoveries. It addresses the growing opportunity to increase oil production as demand rises and discoveries of giant oil fields become less frequent. Participants examine how reservoir characteristics influence recovery processes and why earlier implementation can improve recovery efficiency. Successful and unsuccessful onshore and offshore field cases illustrate chemical, miscible and thermal EOR processes.

The course develops a sound understanding of EOR design considerations, process types, screening criteria and field applications. It covers the fundamentals, applications, challenges, uncertainties and field development requirements associated with each EOR method. Required reservoir characterisation techniques are explained and compared, supported by actual field cases from around the world. Learning combines technical instruction, industry videos and the screening of field cases within an interactive environment.

This Certificate in Enhanced Oil Recovery Best Practices training course will highlight:

Evaluating rock and fluid properties for improved reservoir characterisation
Screening actual reservoirs to identify the appropriate EOR method
Examining types, sub-types and field results for chemical, miscible and thermal EOR
Assessing data requirements, laboratory design approaches and EOR analysis methods
Reviewing current industry simulators and recent advances in EOR methods

Water flooding and Different Chemical EOR Processes
Day 4

Miscible and Immiscible EOR processes
Day 5

Thermal and the EOR processes

The Certificate in Enhanced Oil Recovery Best Practices training course begins with the principles of enhanced oil recovery, placing primary, secondary and tertiary recovery in context before examining reservoir and fluid characteristics, recovery mechanisms and the criteria used to screen and select suitable methods. It then progresses to thermal recovery processes, including steam-based techniques and in-situ combustion, with attention to their applications and operational considerations. Chemical recovery methods follow, covering polymer, surfactant and alkaline flooding and the factors affecting their performance.

The agenda then addresses gas-injection processes, including miscible and immiscible displacement, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon gas injection, minimum miscibility pressure and water-alternating-gas approaches. The final stage brings the methods together through EOR project screening, reservoir modelling, pilot planning, implementation, monitoring and performance evaluation. Economic and technical considerations are considered alongside field experience, operational challenges and method selection, concluding with current developments and an integrated review of best practices across thermal, chemical and gas-based recovery processes.
