This 1-day course offers an overview of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and improved oil recovery (IOR) processes with particular emphasis on issues relevant to field applications. This course will provide technical professionals with an understanding of the following topics:

• EOR/IOR—What are they?
• Size of the PRIZE: Why must we consider it?
• Screening for EOR—timing: When is the right time for implementation? What options do we have? What tools do we need? Can we do it all?
• Waterflooding and chemical flooding
• Gas flooding—Hydrocarbon, CO2, Air and N2
  
• EOR in Naturally-Fractured Reservoirs
  
• Critical review and identification of broader issues and summary
  
• Case histories and exercises

Get an overview of EOR and IOR, explore your options and tools for screening and the best time for implementation.

This course is for petroleum, reservoir, production and facilities engineers, as well as managers, and planners who are interested in enhanced oil recovery.
