Project Abstract

Abstract
The demand for energy continues to rise globally, necessitating the optimization of hydrocarbon recovery from unconventional reservoirs. Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques offer a promising solution to increase oil production from these challenging reservoirs. This research focuses on evaluating and analyzing various EOR techniques tailored for unconventional reservoirs to improve recovery efficiency. The study encompasses a comprehensive literature review, research methodology, discussion of findings, and conclusions. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research, discussing the background, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure, and definition of terms. This chapter sets the foundation for exploring EOR techniques in unconventional reservoirs. In Chapter 2, a detailed literature review presents ten key aspects of EOR techniques for unconventional reservoirs. The review covers existing methodologies, recent advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the field of enhanced oil recovery. Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology, including the selection criteria for EOR techniques, data collection methods, experimental design, simulation models, and analysis techniques. This chapter elucidates the systematic approach adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of various EOR methods. Chapter 4 delves into an extensive discussion of findings derived from the research analysis. Seven critical items are explored in detail, including the performance of different EOR techniques, factors influencing their efficiency, economic considerations, environmental impacts, and the potential for field application. Finally, Chapter 5 presents the conclusion and summary of the research project on enhanced oil recovery techniques for unconventional reservoirs. The findings of this study aim to contribute valuable insights to the petroleum industry, guiding decision-makers in the adoption of optimal EOR strategies to enhance oil production from unconventional reservoirs. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of leveraging advanced EOR techniques to unlock the full potential of unconventional reservoirs. By enhancing oil recovery efficiency through innovative methods, the petroleum industry can meet the growing energy demands sustainably while maximizing resource utilization.
