International Workshop on Enhanced Oil Recovery and Porous Media Flows

Texas A&M University at Qatar, Doha, Qatar
TAMUQ Building, Room 143

Description
|
Development, evaluation and implementation of efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques require active involvement and participation of academic and industrial leaders and researchers. The underlying processes during EOR from heterogeneous formations are very complex and they involve multi-scale multi-physics multiphase multi-component porous media flows in the presence of fracture, chemical agents and thermal processes. Development of accurate models of such flows and their robust high resolution rapid simulation pose challenges of various kinds including high performance computing. Although a number of stakeholders are investing heavily in the EOR technology, the potential of EOR solutions has not been fully realized. It is imperative that the industry revisits current practices of EOR techniques, invests in research and development of new improved EOR methods, implements EOR projects now, in a fully integrated fashion – from studies to incorporating operational readiness, and project execution – with a greater sense of urgency. This workshop will provide a unique platform for global experts to present current state of the art and future directions in this area, and also share successes and lessons learned in evaluating and implementing a variety of EOR techniques.
