Enhanced Oil Recovery Techniques for Mature Oil Fields

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques play a crucial role in maximizing oil production from mature oil fields. This thesis focuses on evaluating and analyzing various EOR techniques to enhance oil recovery from mature oil fields. The study begins with an in-depth literature review to explore existing knowledge and research on EOR methods, their applications, and effectiveness in mature oil fields. The research methodology section outlines the approach used to collect and analyze data, including case studies, simulations, and field experiments. Chapter Four presents the detailed findings and analysis of the study, highlighting the performance of different EOR techniques such as water flooding, gas injection, chemical flooding, and thermal methods in mature oil fields. The discussion covers the advantages, limitations, and challenges associated with each technique, providing insights into their applicability and effectiveness in increasing oil recovery rates. In conclusion, this thesis offers valuable insights into the importance of EOR techniques for maximizing oil production in mature oil fields. The study emphasizes the need for continuous research and innovation in developing advanced EOR methods to address the challenges of declining production rates and reservoir complexities. The findings of this research contribute to the existing knowledge base on EOR techniques and provide recommendations for future research and practical applications in the oil and gas industry.
