Project Overview

The project topic, "Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques for Maximizing Production Efficiency in Mature Oil Reservoirs," focuses on identifying and implementing advanced methods to improve the extraction of oil from mature oil reservoirs. Mature oil reservoirs are those that have been in production for a significant period and have lower natural pressure, making conventional extraction techniques less effective. By exploring enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, this research aims to optimize production efficiency in these reservoirs. The primary objective of this study is to investigate and evaluate various EOR techniques that can be applied to mature oil reservoirs to increase oil recovery rates and extend the economic life of the reservoir. This involves a comprehensive review of existing literature on EOR methods, including chemical, thermal, and gas injection techniques. By analyzing the advantages and limitations of each technique, the research seeks to identify the most suitable approaches for specific reservoir conditions. The research methodology will involve a combination of theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and case studies to assess the feasibility and potential impact of different EOR techniques in mature oil reservoirs. This will include evaluating key parameters such as oil viscosity, reservoir permeability, and fluid properties to determine the most effective method for enhancing oil recovery. Chapter Four will present a detailed discussion of the findings, including an analysis of the performance of different EOR techniques in mature oil reservoirs. The chapter will also address the challenges and limitations associated with the implementation of these techniques, as well as potential strategies to overcome them. By synthesizing the research outcomes, this chapter will provide valuable insights into the practical implications of applying EOR methods in mature oil reservoirs. In conclusion, this research aims to contribute to the optimization of oil production in mature reservoirs by exploring innovative EOR techniques. By enhancing production efficiency and increasing oil recovery rates, the findings of this study have the potential to benefit the oil and gas industry by extending the life of mature reservoirs and maximizing resource utilization."
