The document discusses enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, focusing on steam injection. It defines EOR as techniques for extracting more crude oil from reservoirs beyond primary and secondary recovery methods. Steam injection is a thermal EOR method that involves injecting steam into reservoirs to lower oil viscosity and produce more oil. There are two main steam injection techniques - cyclic steam stimulation (also called huff-and-puff) which alternates between steam injection and production from single or multiple wells, and steam flooding which continuously injects steam into reservoirs to displace oil towards production wells. The document outlines some advantages and disadvantages of steam injection and economic considerations.
The efficiency of enhanced oil recovery method is a measure of the ability to provide greater hydrocarbon recovery than by natural depletion, at an economically attractive production rate.

There are three primary techniques of EOR: gas injection, thermal injection, and chemical injection. Gas injection, which uses gases such as natural gas, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (CO2), accounts for nearly 60 percent of EOR production in the United States. Thermal injection, which involves the introduction of heat, accounts for 40 percent of EOR production in the United States, with most of it occurring in California. Chemical injection, which can involve the use of long-chained molecules called polymers to increase the effectiveness of waterfloods, accounts for about one percent of EOR production in the United States. In 2013, a technique called Plasma-Pulse technology was introduced into the United States from Russia. This technique can result in another 50 percent of improvement in existing well production.
This document was produced as part of my final year project of training to obtain a petroleum engineering diploma.
The aim of this project is to make a comparative study between continuous and intermittent gas lift systems based on real data from an oil well in Algeria, and to choose the system best suited to increase the production of the well.
This study was carried out by a manual design using the method of “fixed pressure drop” for the continuous gas lift system and “fallback gradient” method for intermittent gas lift system.
We were able to determine at the end of this study that the system best suited to the current conditions of our well would be the intermittent gas lift system and we also proposed that it should be combine with the "plunger lift " system in order to increase the efficiency of the intermittent gas lift system by eliminating problems linked to the phenomenon of" fallback " thus increase the production of our wells.

The problem of water and gas coning has plagued the petroleum industry for decades. Water or gas encroachment in oil zone and thus simultaneous production of oil & water or oil & gas is a major technical, environmental and economic problems associated with oil and gas production. This can limit the productive life of the oil and gas wells and can cause severe problems including corrosion of tubulars, fine migration, hydrostatic loading etc. The environmental impact of handling, treating and disposing of the produced water can seriously affect the economics of the production. Commonly, the reservoirs have an aquifer beneath the zone of hydrocarbon. While producing from oil zone, there develops a low pressure zone as a result of which the water zone starts coning upwards and gas zone cones down towards the production perforation in oil zone and thus reducing the oil production. Pressure enhanced capillary transition zone enlargement around the wellbore is responsible for the concurrent production. This also results in the loss of water drive and gas drive to a certain extent.
Numerous technologies have been developed to control unwanted water and gas coning. In order to design an effective strategy to control the coning of oil or gas, it is important to understand the mechanism of coning of oil and gas in reservoirs by developing a model of it. Non-Darcy flow effect (NDFE), vertical permeability, aquifer size, density of well perforation, and flow behind casing increase water coning/inflow to wells in homogeneous gas reservoirs with bottom water are important factors to consider. There are several methods to slow down coning of water and/or gas such as producing at a certain critical rate, polymer injection, Downhole Water Sink (DWS) technology etc.

3. What is Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) ?
• A generic term for increasing the amount of
crude oil extracted from an oil reservoir
• Also referred to as ‘improved oil recovery’ or
‘tertiary oil recovery’
• Using EOR, oil extraction rate can exceed up to
60% compared to primary and secondary oil
recovery methods (20-40% recovery)
4. Methods of EOR
• Gas injection methods
• Chemical injection methods
• Thermal methods
– Steam injection
– Fire flooding
5. Steam Injection
• One of the methods included in EOR
• Applies the use of steam for recovering oil
• Has several different forms but two main ones
– Cyclic Steam Stimulation
– Steam Flooding
6. Cyclic Steam Stimulation
• Also known as “Huff-and-Puff” method
• Sometimes applied to heavy-oil reservoirs
• Assists natural reservoir energy by lowering
viscosity of oil
• Commonly used for a formation of oil-wells but
can be applied to a single-well procedure
7.
8. Cyclic Steam Stimulation (contd.)
• The cycle may be repeated until the recovery
response becomes minimum due to decrease
in pressure and increase in water production
• Accompanied by continuous steam-flooding to
continue the supply of heat and to replace
declining pressure of reservoir
9. Steam Flooding
• Most commonly used in heavy-oil reservoirs
having high viscosity
• High-temperature steam is continuously
ejected into the reservoir which,
– Loses heat to formation of water and condenses
– The hot water produced coupled with continuous
steam supply acts as a driving force to move the
oil to the production wells
10.
11. Advantages
• Steam floods are easier to control than fire-floods
• Steam floods do not cause cracking of oil and no environmentally
objectionable flue gases are produced
• Steam injection wells are subject to much lower temperature than
fire injection wells
• Steam flooding can be applied to reservoirs containing high API
gravity oils
• Flushing of liners and casing perforations, as well as the reduction
of deposits that may build up in the wells
12. Disadvantages
• Heat losses are high through injection lines,
wellbores and oil well formation
• Steam flooding requires large supply of high
quality fresh water
• Steam injection can’t be performed at depths
below 5000 ft because of high reservoir
pressure
To utilize this EOR method, a predetermined amount of steam is injected into wells that have been drilled or converted forinjection purposes. These wells are then shut in to allow the steam to heat or "soak" the producing formation around the well.After a sufficient time has elapsed to allow adequate heating, the injection wells are back in production until the heat isdissipated with the produced fluids. This cycle of soak-and-produce, or "huff-and-puff," may be repeated until the responsebecomes marginal because of declining natural reservoir pressure and increased water production.
High-temperature steam is continuously injected into a reservoir. As the steam loses heat to the formation, it condenses intohot water, which, coupled with the continuous supply of steam behind it, provides the drive to move the oil to production wells.As the formation heats, oil recovery is increased by:1. The heated oil becomes less viscous, making it easier to move through the formation toward production wells.2. Expansion or swelling of the oil aids in releasing it from the reservoir rock.3. Lighter fractions of the oil tend to vaporize, and as they move ahead into the cooler formation ahead of the steam theycondense and form a solvent or miscible bank.4. Finally, the condensed steam cools as it moves through the reservoir and results in what amounts to an ordinarywaterflood ahead of the heated zone.
Because of this the heat can’t be utilized in reservoirs which are deep, thin or have low permeability
