Enhanced Oil Recovery in Argentina: A Conversation with Gastón Fondevilla Sancet (CAPSA)
Enhanced Oil Recovery in Argentina: A Conversation with Gastón Fondevilla Sancet (CAPSA). In this episode of our EOR podcast, I sat down with Gastón Fondevilla Sancet, Engineering Manager at CAPSA, to discuss his extensive experience in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and reservoir engineering in Argentina. Capsa has been at the forefront of polymer flooding deployment in Argentina with a pilot in 2007 in Diadema field: very heterogeneous reservoirs with oil viscosity above 100cP. The injected polymer viscosity is around 120cP to address heterogeneity issues with punctual gel treatments to slow down the front. Gastón also shares insights about the on-going surfactan-polymer trials to further enhance recovery.

…CNPC R&D workshop on waterflooding in carbonate reservoirs
CNPC waterflooding carbonates workshop
CNPC waterflooding carbonates workshop. I had the privilege of participating in a workshop organized by CNPC R&D on waterflooding in carbonate reservoirs in Dubai in November 2024. The topic was “Development Strategy and Waterflood Design in Carbonate Reservoirs”. I gave a presentation of the first day about the status of Primary, Secondary, Tertiary development mindsets at the light of psychology and field data… Strange combination one could say. I let you have a look at the slides of the presentation.

EOR Podcast: Polymer Flooding Simulation
Polymer Flooding Simulation
Welcome to our latest podcast episode featuring Randy Seright! Randy is a renowned expert in the field of Polymer Flooding and Water Shut-Off, and in this episode, we discuss simulation of polymer flooding. Are commercial simulators able to predict polymer injectivity? What inputs are required? What are the common mistakes when modeling polymer injection? Why good lab studies are paramount to de-risk polymer injection?
Predicting Injectivity in Polymer Flooding is a topic that comes up constantly. Over the years, I’ve been asked the same questions again and again:
– How much injectivity will we lose?
– How quickly can it change?
– Will the polymer even inject properly?
