Challenges

I have low recovery in a depleted field

Once a field is past its prime and waterflooding or gas injection has reached its limits, other solutions need to be considered to increase recovery further.

Solve this

I have low recovery in a heavy oil reservoir

Heavy oil reservoirs are notoriously difficult to produce and primary recovery is often low even with CHOPS (Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand).

Solve this

I have an oil-wet reservoir

Oil wet reservoirs can pose specific challenges for recovery in particular when fractured. Carbonates in particular are often both oil wet and fractured.

Solve this

I am recycling too much CO₂ in my CO₂ flood

CO₂ injection is a very successful tertiary recovery method which can however suffer from gravity override and early breakthrough due to thief zones. This leads to the need to recycle CO₂ which has a negative impact on the economics of the process.
