Introduction
Training course introducion / brief

Enhanced Oil Recovery 

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques are essential for increasing the amount of crude oil extracted from oil fields. As conventional oil extraction becomes less effective, EOR methods help improve recovery rates and extend the life of reservoirs. Using EOR can significantly boost production, reduce operational costs, and make oil extraction more efficient. Understanding EOR techniques is critical for oil and gas professionals to maximize output and improve profitability.

 

This training program focuses on the main EOR methods and their practical applications. The program covers thermal, gas, chemical, microbial, and hybrid techniques. Each day highlights one main topic with key subtopics for in-depth learning. Participants will engage in workshops, real-life case studies, and practical exercises to strengthen their knowledge and skills.

Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
  • Understand the fundamentals of enhanced oil recovery techniques.
  • Learn how to select and apply the right EOR methods.
  • Explore the advantages and challenges of different EOR techniques.
  • Analyze real-life case studies to understand best practices.
  • Prepare for future advancements and innovations in EOR.
