Introduction To Enhanced Oil Recovery

This document outlines the weekly schedule and topics for an Enhanced Oil Recovery course over 9 weeks. In weeks 1-2, the course introduces EOR and IOR concepts like displacement efficiency and residual oil mobilization. Weeks 3-4 cover displacement mechanisms like capillary and viscous forces, and calculations like mobility ratio and viscous gravity ratio. Weeks 5-6 focus on chemical flooding processes including polymer, surfactant, alkaline and ASP flooding. Weeks 7-9 discuss miscible gas flooding principles, phase behavior, ternary diagrams, CO2 processes, and field experiences.
