Advances in Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods

Tuesday, 24 September

0830 - 1130

Room 212 - 213

Technical Session

This session delves into cutting-edge approaches to maximize hydrocarbon recovery. The spotlight is on Novel Technologies that explore the intricacies of challenging reservoir conditions when using gas and chemical methods with attention to CO2 and surfactant floodings. The focus is to understand the observed phenomena from the lab to the field, and how to use these new insights to improve reservoir performance.
