Enhanced Oil Recovery
Objectives:
This course deals with scope for enhancing oil and gas recovery and discusses various EOR techniques (Gas, Chemical, Thermal and others). The course will provide participants with the fundamentals EOR techniques; chemical, thermal, gas injection and others such as microbial EOR and low salinity flooding. The course will be in the morning.
