I will be presenting 1 paper titled: Breaking the Mold: Reassessing Polymer Flooding and the Outdated ‘Primary, Secondary, Tertiary’ Model. I am attaching the introduction here.

Introduction

We can start this introduction with a little game. Imagine that you’re an engineer-in-training, full of ambition and excitement about entering the oil and gas industry. Before even setting foot in school, you decide to get a head start and do some reading on how things work. Naturally, you begin with a quick internet search, typing in keywords like “oil recovery processes” or “oil extraction stages.”

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?

🚀 New Video Release: EOR with ChatGPT. For a long time, not knowing how to code held me back from turning my ideas into reality. I tried learning Python on Udemy, but dedicating enough time to truly master it was a challenge—plus, I wasn’t interested in becoming a full-time developer.

Then, I discovered ChatGPT.
