Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops The objective of oil producing companies is to maximize oil recovery from any given reservoir. To achieve the stated objective, the reservoir engineers do not rely only on primary (natural) energy, but also on artificial energy which gives rise to what we call secondary and tertiary methods of oil recovery. Water flooding is one of the secondary methods of oil recovery. It involves injecting clean, noncorrosive water into the reservoir to displace the remaining oil. This course is primarily on the mechanics of oil recovery by water flooding. The aim of this course is to provide the participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Water Flooding. Upon the successful completion of this course, the participant should have a solid grounding in the understanding of the purpose, operation and inspection of water injection systems for enhanced oil recovery. The course will illustrate potential problems and their resolution.
