Fundamentals of Gas Injection Processes: CO2 Injection/Sequestration, HC Injection and Miscibility (MMP/MME)

Disciplines: Production and Operations | Projects, Facilities, and Construction | Reservoir

Instructor: Dr. Birol Dindoruk

Concept of gas injection and what miscibility means and not.

Gas flooding involves many aspects of engineering, from surface facilities to production engineering to reservoir engineering. There are also newer theories and their applications, especially in the context of miscibility development and assessment as summarized by Dindoruk et al. [3]. Some of the renewed momentum in gas flooding also comes from the potential for subsurface CO2 sequestration and other gases (H2,CH4, etc.) st....(Read More)

Application of Digital Hybrid Tools That Combine Analytics, Machine Learning & Reduced Physics Models to Increase Oil Recovery in Mature Conventional Fields

Disciplines: Data Science and Engineering Analytics | Reservoir

Instructor: Ashwin Venkatraman

Conventional mature fields spread across the world – USA, Russia, Canada, Middle East, North Africa, South America and Southeast Asia, contribute to as much as 70% of all world’s oil. The cheapest and the quickest way to add oil is to increase from existing producing fields. Accordingly, the current challenges to meet world energy needs have increased focus on conventional mature fields. These fields are characterized by the availability of data and hence, lend themselves well to use of new d....(Read More)

EOR For Unconventional Reservoirs

Instructor: Todd Hoffman

Disciplines: : Production and Operations | Reservoir

EOR in low permeability unconventional reservoirs is happening across a number of basins and is rapidly becoming a sub-discipline of petroleum engineering. This class covers what has been done over the last decade with a special focus on huff-n-puff (cyclic) gas injection. This includes how to predict production forecasts and injection volumes required, as well as determining the contribution of different recovery mechanisms. Other techniques such as continuous injection and water/surfactant inj....(Read More)
