What is Chemical Flooding?

"Chemical Flooding," also referred to as Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (Chemical EOR) is one of the methods used for recovering trapped oil - also called "stranded oil" - and one of the many types of "Enhanced Oil Recovery" (EOR) technologies. 

Enhanced oil recovery technologies are used for increasing oil production older, declining and "marginal" oil wells/oil reservoirs. 

There are a variety of chemicals used in chemical flooding to "enhance" oil recovery - a few of these include alkaline chemicals,  polymers and surfactants.

A few of the ever-growing list of EOR Technologies include;

• ASP flooding

• Chemical EOR

• Chemical Flooding 

• CO2-EOR

• CO2 Flooding

• CO2 Injection 

• Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies 

• Gas EOR

• Gas Injection 

• Microbial EOR

• Miscible Gas

• Nitrogen Injection 

• Polymer Flooding 

• Polymer Injection

• Solar EOR 

• Steam Injection 

• Surfactant EOR

• Surfactant Flooding

• Thermal EOR

EOR Technologies is a new company being formed and one of very few EOR "technology neutral" companies that deliver the maximum oil production for the least cost. This is determined by reservoir/oil field analysis, history, present conditions and operations. 

Over the past forty years, the enhanced oil recovery industry has produced a number of excellent and proven EOR technologies. 

However, the optimum EOR technology for any one particular client with declining oil production, is dependent on a number of variables that must be identified and understood before selecting the correct EOR technology, including;

• Specific oil reservoir  type / condition

• Depth of pay zone

• Interfacial tension or IFT ( displacement efficiency)

• Mobility control (sweep efficiency)

• Oil composition

• Oil gravity

• Oil reserve

• Overall condition of well

• Permeability

• Porosity

• Reservoir's brine (salinity NaCl) content

• Reservoir's temperature

• Tracer Testing

• Working condition of reservoir 

among others. The "optimum" EOR technology for one reservoir and pay zone may not be the optimum EOR technology for another - even within the same oil field. That's why we are "EOR technology neutral." We apply the optimum EOR technology for each client's specific requirements for maximizing our client's oil recovery, at the least possible cost. 

Enhanced oil recovery represents a significant opportunity for companies with declining oil production to significantly increase their oil production and revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services.

How much more oil can we produce from our "mature" oil field and wells? 

Enhanced oil recovery or "EOR" represents a significant opportunity for companies with declining oil production to significantly increase their oil production and revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services. 

As seen above, there are a number of variables that determine the potential increase in production for any particular application. 

With that said, some of the EOR technologies can have a significant reversal in oil production. And by "significant," this could mean anywhere from a 100% increase in oil production to a 500% increase in oil production. 

* Would increasing your oil production from 5 bbls/day to 10 bbls/day for a 100% increase in oil production.  Would that make a difference? How about going from 100 bbls/day to 500 bbls/day for a 500% increase in oil production? That's the possibility with enhanced oil recovery.

* Enhanced Oil Recovery is a specialized science and results will vary from oil well to oil well and mature oil field to mature oil field.

What is "mobility" and mobility control within an oil reservoir and why is it important ?

The definition of mobility is the ratio of its relative permeability in a "porous" medium to its viscosity. By reducing water's mobility - through the increase of its' viscosity through the addition of polymer (PAM) the  properties become nearly identical to the oil within the target pay zone/reservoir. 

In Chemical EOR and chemical flooding (which includes polymer flooding) water is made more "viscous" by adding a  polymer in order to obtain a "mobility ratio" of 1 between water and the oil in the target pay zone; i.e. the same mobility for the two different fluids. 

In water with low a low salinity content, polymer flooding can easily boost the viscosity of water making the chemical flooding process more efficient requiring less water.

“spending hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars every year for oil, much of it from the Middle East, is just about the single stupidest thing that modern society could possibly do. It’s very difficult to think of anything more idiotic than that.”
