This course presents a comprehensive summary of aspects of different chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques including main sources of rock/fluid properties, main types and properties of used chemicals, screening actual field for chemical EOR floodings, required lab tests for chemical flooding, analysis of actual big chemical EOR projects Worldwide. In addition, the course also covers required surface facilities plus required chemical additives and treatments, design and application of pilot and field projects, and advanced hybrid chemical-thermal, and chemical-carbon dioxide processes.
