Tracking the Performance of Strategically Significant EOR Pilot: Zooming into Inter-Well Connectivity

Abstract: North Kuwait has planned EOR activities to boost ultimate recoveries in multiple reservoirs. The reservoir with the highest priority on the EOR activity Gantt chart is Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP) flood for Sabiriyah Mauddud due to significant incremental recovery estimated based on past SWCT tests. Prior to the initiation of ASP injection, slated pilot area is under intensive plumbing for insights into the inter-well connectivity. The paper proposal aims to share the actions taken up, analysis done and t… Show more

“…where t 1 is the start time of production, T is the overall time of econometry, P o is the unit price of oil, q o is the oil production rate, C prod w is the unit cost of handling the produced water, C prod q is the water production rate, C inj w is the unit cost of injecting water, q inj w is the water injection rate, C o is the unit operating cost per barrel of produced oil and r is the discount rate. R(t 0 ) is the initial capital expenditure, as shown in equation (2), where C facility is the cost of facility installation, n well is the entire number of injection and production wells and C well is the drilling cost of a well. Consequently, the optimal pilot size has the highest NPV.…”

“…Pilot design plays a vital role in the road map of EOR planning and risk reduction. Therefore, EOR pilots are conducted to reduce uncertainty in EOR performance [1][2][3][4]. In the last 50 years, a significant number of EOR field pilots has been studied and the gained experience has been used in the oil and gas industry [5].…”
