This is a CCS EOR training course. Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) has drawn a global attention to reduce the global warming. The best way to use the captured carbon dioxide is to inject into the depleted oil reservoirs to improve the oil recovery as the CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique. They will gain a comprehensive understanding of the various capture technologies, storage options, and the potential of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery and other uses.

Participants will have a thorough understanding of the technology and concepts of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) plus safe geological storage, storage options, and the potential use of CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).  Large amounts of oil deposits remain unrecovered after application of traditional primary and secondary oil recovery methods. Gas Enhanced Oil Recovery (GEOR) has been proven as an efficient oil recovery technique to recover bypassed oil and residual oil trapped in the reservoir. Different gases, mixture of gases, and Water-Alternating-Gas (WAG) are the most common EOR methods used in the oil industry.  These gas EOR methods rely on the injection of different gases to boost oil recovery.

Different gas EOR techniques of carbon dioxide, Nitrogen, hydrocarbon gas (HC), LPG, WAG and mixture of gases are presented with actual field cases with industry reservoir simulation. Determination of Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) using lab methods and industry correlations will be covered. The CCS EOR training course also provides types of industry simulators (ECLIPSE, E100 and E300)) and steps to design a simulation study. The participants will be equipped with required knowledge and skills to master the technology to reduce carbon emissions while enhancing oil recovery.  The course delivery method is a blended environment of lectures, open discussion, in-class exercises and industry videos.
