Why Choose this Training Course?
The objective of oil producing companies is to maximize oil recovery from any given reservoir. To achieve the stated objective, the reservoir engineers do not rely only on primary (natural) energy, but also on artificial energy which gives rise to what we call secondary and tertiary methods of oil recovery.
Water flooding is one of the secondary methods of oil recovery. It involves injecting clean, non-corrosive water into the reservoir to displace the remaining oil. This training course is primarily on the mechanics of oil recovery by water flooding.
The aim of this PetroKnowledge training course is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Water Flooding. Upon the successful completion of this training course, the participants should have a solid grounding in the understanding of the purpose, operation and inspection of water injection systems for enhanced oil recovery. The training course will also illustrate potential problems and their resolution.
This training course will feature:
- Rock and fluid properties for better reservoir characterization
- Water flood data, acquisition, analysis, and management
- Factor influencing water flood recovery
- Water flood production performance and reservoir forecast
- Water quality and monitoring
- Water flood project optimization
- EOR applications is an extension to the waterflooding
- Field examples and case histories
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on water injection technology and determine the water flooding process from “A” to “Z” as a major method of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
- Recognize the various elements of reservoir drive mechanisms and producing characteristics
- Employ the methods pertaining to water flood performance efficiencies and discuss the design aspects of water injection system
- Distinguish the influence of the reservoir and fluid characteristics on injection process and determine the relation between reservoir engineering data and injected water
- Evaluate the different effects of the recovery factor and reserves as well as explain the aspects of water injection systems according to water source by identifying the various matching reservoir requirements
- Demonstrate understanding of the principals involved in pressure maintenance & oil displacement by an injected fluid
- Describe the process of waterflooding by identifying its design, operation and monitoring
- Acquaint the participants with the concept of immiscible gas injection in oil reservoirs by discussing the techniques & calculation methods used in immiscible gas/oil displacement and identifying the compositional effects during immiscible gas displacement
- Explain concepts utilized in monitoring the displacement process
- Explain the functions of water injection systems through filters and deaeration and identify the various types of filters
- Detail the different qualities of seawater corrosion and distinguish the relationship of microbiological growth and corrosion in line with the structure and growth of diatoms, bacteria and algae
- Apply the several tests used to evaluate water quality including process of collecting samples, transport of samples and test frequencies for particle counts
- Discuss the thermal methods of EOR including hot water and steam injection and get important tips of the polymer injection process
