ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY TO BOOST PRODUCTION

ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY TO BOOST PRODUCTION
Hotel Golden Flower, Bandung | November 14 – 18, 2011 | Rp  8.000.000

 

INTRODUCTION
Oil recovery operations traditionally have been subdivided into three stages: primary, secondary and tertiary. These stages described the production from a reservoir in a chronological sense. Primary production resulted from the displacement energy naturally existing in reservoir. Secondary recovery usually implemented after primary production declined, the term secondary recovery is now almost synonimous with waterflooding. Tertiary recovery was that obtained after waterflooding (or whatever secondary process used) it’s used miscible gases, chemicals and/or thermal energy to displace additional oil. When the waterflooding stage might be reasonably be bypassed the term tertiary recovery fell into disfavor in petroleum engineering term and the designation of enhaced oil recovery (EOR) become accepted to replace the term of secondary and tertiary recovery.

In describing the different EOR processes (Waterflooding, Miscible Displacement, Chemical Flooding: Micellar/Polymer, Surfactant, Alkaline and finally Thermal Recovery Processes, it will be focused on the fundamental concepts of each processes and it will also present methods of predicting oil recovery when the processes are applied to oil reservoir. Many methods are available to calculate displacement performance, ranging from simple models based on volumetric sweep to sophisticated method. Thus, with the proper understanding of all enhanced oil recovery processes will reduce the entire cost of the plant and production operation of EOR system.

This five-day training will provide a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of different EOR processes (Waterflooding, Miscible Displacement, Chemical Flooding: Micellar/Polymer, Surfactant, Alkaline) and Thermal Recovery Processes with various fields example.

ABOUT THE TRAINING INSTRUCTORS
Dr. Ir. Sudjati Rachmat, DEA is a lecturer in Petroleum Engineering Department of Bandung Institute of Technology for more than 20 years. His expertise is on the area of reservoir engineering, enhanced oil recovery and reservoir numerical modeling. He also gives training program to the public such as Pertamina, PT. Caltex Pacific Indonesia and some other PSC companies on this subject. On the practical aspects, Dr. Sudjati Rachmat was projects leader in the industries such as Pertamina, Total Indonesie, Vico, Mobil Oil, Gulf, Arco and some other PSC companies.

Ir. Edwil Suzandi, MT graduated Engineer Degree from Petroleum Engineering Department of Trisakti University and Master of Petroleum Engineering from Petroleum Engineering Department Bandung Institute of Technology. He works as Drilling Fluids Engineer and Specialist on PT. Titess Indomas for more than two years. He is skillful in EOR design and real application of EOR Processes Design.  He also gave in-house and public courses for many other subjects to Pertamina, and PSC companies as a partner of Dr.  Sudjati  Rachmat .

The combination of those instructors strengths on theory and real application, are ideal for the selected participants to gain.
