Maximize Recovery and Extend the Life of Your Reservoirs
In the dynamic landscape of oil and gas, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) stands as a pivotal strategy to maximize hydrocarbon recovery from mature fields. At Constantin Engineering, we specialize in deploying advanced EOR techniques to unlock the full potential of your reservoirs, ensuring increased production and extended operational life. Our innovative solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs, driving efficiency and profitability.
EOR Methods We Offer
Chemical EOR
- Polymer Flooding By injecting polymers into the reservoir, we increase the viscosity of the water, improving sweep efficiency and displacing more oil towards production wells.
- Surfactant Flooding: This method involves injecting surfactants to reduce the surface tension between oil and water, helping to mobilize trapped oil and enhance its flow to the surface.
Thermal EOR
- Steam Injection: Steam is injected into the reservoir to reduce oil viscosity, making it easier to flow. This method is particularly effective in heavy oil fields.
- In-Situ Combustion: Also known as fire flooding, this technique ignites a portion of the oil in the reservoir to generate heat, reducing the viscosity of the remaining oil and facilitating its extraction.
Gas Injection EOR
- CO2 Injection: Carbon dioxide is injected into the reservoir, where it mixes with the oil, reducing its viscosity and increasing its volume, making it easier to extract.
- Natural Gas Injection: Injecting natural gas can help maintain reservoir pressure and improve oil recovery by pushing the oil towards the production wells.
Microbial EOR
- Microbial Injection: This innovative method uses specially selected microorganisms to produce biosurfactants and gases that help mobilize and displace trapped oil. It's an environmentally friendly and effective EOR technique.
Why EOR?
- Maximize Recovery: EOR techniques can significantly increase the amount of oil recovered from a reservoir, often extracting an additional 30-60% of the original oil in place.
- Extend Field Life: By enhancing oil recovery, EOR can extend the productive life of mature fields, delaying abandonment and maximizing asset value.
- Improve Economics:EOR can make previously uneconomical reservoirs viable again, improving the overall economics of your oil production projects.
Our Approach
At Constantin Engineering, we take a tailored approach to EOR, customizing our techniques to suit the specific characteristics and needs of your reservoir. Our process includes:
- Reservoir Evaluation: We conduct thorough geological and petrophysical studies to understand the reservoir's properties and behavior.
- Feasibility Studies: We evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of different EOR methods, ensuring the chosen approach will deliver optimal results.
- Pilot Testing:Before full-scale implementation, we conduct pilot tests to fine-tune the EOR technique and validate its effectiveness.
- Full-Scale Implementation:Once the pilot is successful, we implement the EOR method at scale, continuously monitoring and adjusting to maximize recovery.
