Changes/additions after 31 January 2012 may not be reflected.

Tuesday, 7 February ● 1030-1200 hours Lotus Suites 1&2 Technical Session 1: Chemical Methods Session Co-Chairpersons: Xudong Jing, Shell; Hiroshi Okabe, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. This session includes chemical methods for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) from laboratory experiments to field tests. Different types of chemical solutions under various reservoir conditions, such as fluid and rock properties, are experimentally and computationally evaluated in order to gain a fuller understanding of the displacement processes and optimize EOR performance. Physical mechanisms from molecules to pore-scale behaviours are carefully considered to design effective chemical methods (including polymer, foam, and ASP). Some proposed methods also lead to flow- profile modification hence reduction in water-cut.

Various methods for evaluating/characterising unconventional reservoirs including data mining/pattern recognition, reserve estimates based on Monte Carlo production forecasts using decline curves, and a toolbox approach to shale fracturing techniques based on stimulation success correlations fracture treatment design, and a hydraulic fracture monitoring method that combines microseismic, complex fracture modeling, and descriptions of preexisting natural fractures. Finally, a field example based investigation of the occurrence of unit slopes in hydraulically fractured carbonate reservoirs determines that such regimes occur when there is fracture interference.
