Project Abstract

Abstract
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques play a crucial role in maximizing the extraction of oil from mature oil fields, thereby increasing oil production and extending the economic life of these fields. This research project focuses on exploring and evaluating various EOR techniques that can be implemented in mature oil fields to enhance oil recovery efficiency. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the background and significance of EOR in the petroleum industry, highlighting the challenges faced in extracting oil from mature reservoirs and the need for advanced recovery methods. The literature review chapter critically examines ten key studies and research articles on different EOR techniques such as thermal methods, chemical methods, and miscible gas injection. The chapter aims to provide a thorough understanding of the principles, applications, successes, and limitations of each EOR technique, as well as their effectiveness in mature oil fields. Chapter three details the research methodology employed in this study, including data collection methods, experimental design, and analysis techniques. The chapter outlines the eight steps followed to evaluate and compare the performance of different EOR techniques in a simulated mature oil field environment, considering factors such as reservoir characteristics, oil properties, and economic feasibility. In chapter four, the discussion of findings delves into the results obtained from the evaluation of EOR techniques, highlighting their impact on oil recovery rates, production costs, and environmental considerations. The chapter presents eight key findings that shed light on the most effective EOR methods for mature oil fields, their challenges, and potential areas for improvement. Finally, chapter five serves as the conclusion and summary of the research project, encapsulating the key insights, implications, and recommendations derived from the study. The chapter emphasizes the significance of implementing advanced EOR techniques in mature oil fields to optimize oil recovery, increase operational efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Overall, this research project provides a comprehensive analysis of Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques for mature oil fields, offering valuable insights for petroleum engineers, oil field operators, and decision-makers in the energy industry. By exploring innovative approaches to oil extraction and recovery, this study contributes to the sustainable development of mature oil fields and the overall enhancement of oil production efficiency.
