Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to investigate and optimize enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in offshore oil fields to enhance oil production efficiency and maximize oil reserves extraction. Offshore oil fields play a crucial role in global oil production, and the implementation of advanced EOR methods is essential to overcome the challenges associated with extracting oil from these complex reservoirs. The study will focus on analyzing various EOR techniques, such as water flooding, gas injection, chemical injection, thermal methods, and emerging technologies, to identify the most effective strategies for improving oil recovery rates in offshore environments. The research will be conducted through a comprehensive literature review, which will explore existing studies, case studies, and field applications of EOR techniques in offshore oil fields. The literature review will provide insights into the advantages, limitations, and challenges associated with different EOR methods, as well as the factors influencing their effectiveness in offshore reservoirs. Additionally, the study will investigate recent advancements and innovations in EOR technology to identify potential opportunities for optimization in offshore oil recovery operations. The research methodology will involve data collection, analysis, and simulation studies to evaluate the performance of various EOR techniques in offshore oil fields. Numerical reservoir simulation models will be developed to assess the impact of different EOR methods on oil recovery efficiency, reservoir pressure maintenance, and production rates. Sensitivity analysis will be conducted to identify key parameters that influence the effectiveness of EOR techniques in offshore reservoirs. Furthermore, the study will include a detailed discussion of findings, which will present the results of the simulation studies and highlight the key factors influencing the optimization of EOR techniques in offshore oil fields. The discussion will address the technical, economic, and environmental considerations associated with implementing EOR methods in offshore reservoirs, and propose recommendations for improving oil recovery efficiency and sustainability in these challenging environments. In conclusion, this research project aims to contribute to the advancement of EOR technologies in offshore oil fields by identifying optimal strategies for enhancing oil recovery rates and maximizing reservoir performance. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights for oil and gas companies, researchers, and policymakers involved in offshore oil production, and contribute to the sustainable development of offshore oil resources.
