About Training
CO2-Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects involve significant risks due to additional capital and operating costs for purchasing and recycling CO2, new wells, equipment, and fluid handling/treatment to mitigate corrosion/ hydrate issues. It follows that they be optimally screened, designed and operated to reduce the overall risks.
This five-day course discusses various steps involved in development of an EOR project. These steps include screening, laboratory and field testing, simulation, design, interpretation and follow-up of CO2-EOR field pilots including appropriate monitoring/ surveillance, installation of CO2 recycling (separation, dehydration & compression) facilities and critical reviews of unresolved issues in the proposed projects.
Training Objectives
- Overview of various steps involved in CO2-EOR project development
- In-depth discussion of screening of prospects for different CO2-EOR processes
- Field tests and laboratory investigations as aids in developing a CO2-EOR project
- Field piloting of proposed CO2-EOR schemes and interpretations
- Monitoring and surveillance
- Overall scrutiny of CO2-EOR schemes
Audiences
Reservoir engineers, EOR engineers, production engineers, petroleum engineers, geologist, project engineers, project managers and anyone else who desire to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of CO2-EOR Projects.
Instructor
Ashok Singhal
Ashok Singhal is a Principal Consultant at Premier Reservoir Engineering Services Ltd, a consulting firm that specializes in assisting in the screening and development of optimal technology strategies to exploit hydrocarbon resources including: oil sands, heavy oil, conventional and tight oil. Ashok works with a network of consultants to deliver client services. Ashok has over thirty years of experience as a supervisor, engineer, consultant and research scientist in the oil industry and research organizations, where he worked on EOR screening, project development, implementation and evaluation of various recovery schemes to exploit existing oil and gas resources, or to assure that tight oil resources would become commercially viable in the medium to long terms. Ashok has participated in screening, conceptualizing, feasibility evaluation, planning, implementation, or evaluation of several Improved or Enhanced Oil Recovery (IOR/ EOR) pilots in the field.
