Project Overview: Investigation of Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques in Mature Oil Fields

Thesis Topic: A Case Study of X Field

The project aims to investigate and analyze enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in the context of mature oil fields, with a specific focus on X Field. Mature oil fields are characterized by declining production rates and lower overall recovery efficiency. Therefore, the implementation of EOR techniques becomes crucial to maximize the recovery of remaining oil reserves.

Research Objectives:

• Examine the current production and recovery rates at X Field
• Review existing literature on EOR techniques applicable to mature oil fields
• Identify the most suitable EOR technique for X Field based on reservoir characteristics
• Conduct a comparative analysis of the selected EOR technique with traditional methods
• Assess the economic viability and feasibility of implementing the chosen EOR technique at X Field

Methodology:

The research will involve a combination of desk-based studies, reservoir simulation, field data analysis, and economic modeling. Field data from X Field will be collected and analyzed to understand the current reservoir conditions. Reservoir simulation software will be used to model the performance of different EOR techniques and evaluate their impact on recovery rates.

Expected Outcomes:

• Recommendations for the most effective EOR technique for X Field
• Evaluation of the potential increase in oil recovery and production rates
• Economic analysis of the proposed EOR implementation
• Insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing EOR in mature oil fields

Significance of the Study:

The findings of this research will not only benefit X Field but also contribute to the broader understanding of EOR techniques in mature oil fields. The insights gained from the case study can be applied to other similar fields facing similar challenges, leading to improved reservoir management practices and increased recovery rates.

Key Words:

Enhanced Oil Recovery, Mature Oil Fields, Reservoir Simulation, Economic Viability, Field Data Analysis
