“…Figure 6 presents the worldwide cost database, which shows the average cost of the different types of recovery processes; thermal, gas flooding, and chemical injection for projects that are already carried out. For gas flooding (such as CO 2 injection), the average total cost per barrel is around US$ 12 -20 20 , which, compared to average unit technical cost in Malaysia, is on the high side.…”

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractA considerable amount of hydrocarbon resource is estimated to remain in the ground even after primary and secondary recoveries in the fields. As of 2003, the estimated oil-in-place from the forty-seven producing fields in Malaysia stand at about 20.1 BSTB, with a cumulative production of 4.9 BSTB and reserves of 2.5 BSTB 1 . This translates to an averaged recovery factor of only 36.8 percent for producing fields in Malaysia. For this reason, the remaining oil-in-place of 12.7 BSTB i.e. 63.2% of STOIIP will be the prime target for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects. On top of the value that could be gained through EOR applications, most of the fields are already entering maturing stage for primary and/or secondary depletion with declining oil rates and increasing water-cut and GOR trend. This situation will further merit the application of EOR processes. However, to date, there has been no full-field application of EOR in Malaysia, with the exception of a pilot WAG project in Dulang field 2, 3 and MEOR stimulation project in Bokor field 4-6 .

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractKuwait's production to date is characterized by large, massive reservoirs undergoing natural depletion with the help of strong natural aquifer drives. In a few fields, natural aquifer support is supplemented by pattern or peripheral waterflood. However, there has been no systematic attempt to define the Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) potential within the country. This study is a first attempt to assess this potential. The study considered 10 IOR displacement processes, suitable for longterm implementation within Kuwait.These processes included waterflood (including chemical floods), gas injection processes, and thermal methods. The study did not consider techniques based purely on well stimulation or infill drilling (e.g. cyclic steam injection, or horizontal well development); the potential for these techniques is already well understood and considerable data already exists for planning around these options. The study focused on screening reservoirs and identifying IOR processes for further study.The screening was in two parts. The first part was an evaluation of process suitability for all reservoirs. The second part was a ranking of IOR opportunities by reservoir. In total, over 800 process/reservoir combinations were evaluated. The evaluation process made use of various industry criteria; however, these were modified to better reflect conditions within Kuwait. After screening for suitability, the reservoirs were ranked in importance for future study. This ranking included: incremental oil recovery, crude quality cost per barrel and urgency (timing). This ranking will be used to direct resources at particular projects for further study and, if positive, future implementation. Key technical contributions of this work include: data evaluation techniques, consistent ranking of reservoirs with varying degrees of risk, development of scoping economic models for preliminary project assessment.

Polymer and ASP flooding are two popular chemical enhanced oil recoveries (EOR) method for increasing oil recovery in the tertiary stage of oil production. Many parameters, effect on the performance of these methods. In this paper, fractional factorial design for eight variables is considered to determine the number of simulations. CMG-STARS is used to create a 1/6 inverted 7 spots with two wells. 64 runs for polymer and ASP are considered and the effect of parameter as single and two parameter interactions is discussed. The results show ASP flooding has better performance to increase oil recovery factor compared to polymer flooding in oil wet carbonate reservoir. Over there, connate water saturation has a main effect on recovery factor. On the other hand, two parameters interaction effect, are different for ASP and polymer flooding. Finally, a regression model based on variables is generated for estimating the recovery factor in polymer and ASP flooding.
