IOR Field Applications and Case Histories

COURSE DESCRIPTION & Outline

With the “soft” outlook for natural gas prices, oil is “King” and Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) is a solution applicable to both mature and recently developed oil reservoirs. This workshop focuses on IOR screening – getting the most from your core analysis and determining if your reservoir is an IOR target – and field application case studies. A variety of IOR approaches are discussed and illustrated with field application case studies.

• Introduction & Overview, Betty Felber

• Making The Most of Your Core Analysis, Betty Felber

• Is Your Reservoir A Good IOR Candidate? Betty Felber

• From Laboratory to Field – Gravity Drainage Applications, Dan Rao, LSU Petroleum Engineering Department

• CO2 EOR, Raleigh & Stampede Fields In Mississippi, Tellus Operating Group, LLC, Brian Sims

• Gravity Drainage, Wellman Field – From Waterflood to CO2 Injection, Betty Felber

• In Situ Microbial Sweep Improvement, North Blowhorn Creek (AL), Betty Felber

Lunch provided by Wavefront Technology Solutions, Inc. – during lunch learn how their Powerwave injection technology can improve the flow of fluids (i.e., more uniform injection, increased injectivity).

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Engineers, geologists, asset team professionals and managers

LEARN/KNOW AFTER ATTENDING

Attendees will know how to get the most out of their core data, screen their reservoir for applicable IOR processes, determine the most applicable IOR process and, through review of different field application case studies, know industry’s experience with different IOR processes.

PRIMARY INSTRUCTOR
Betty Felber—has over 30 years experience in Improved Oil Recovery Applications. She has worked in research, for operating companies, a service company and the U.S. Government. She has developed chemical systems for enhancing sweep in waterfloods, steamfloods, carbon dioxide and enriched gas floods. She supervised a team of geologists, geophysicists, engineers and chemists that conducted integrated field studies in Europe, Africa, the Middle and Far East and North and South America. At U. S. DOE she was responsible for directing oil upstream, downstream and environmental research, field demonstration projects, technology transfer and managed the National modeling system. She was General Chair for the Improved Oil Recovery Symposium in 1998. In 2008, she was selected as a SPE International Distinguished Member. She holds six United States and two Canadian sweep improvement patents.
