First successful Surfactant-Polymer injection in Hungarian Algyo oilfield

2016. EAGE IOR.

A long but rewarding R&D work has helped successfully deliver a new surfactant formulation which, along with a stable polymer, has been injected into a preselected part of the Algyő field, yielding outstanding results in terms of extra oil recovery. All the aspects have been de-risked including surfactant manufacturing, delivery and quality control, chemical dissolution and injection, safe and reliable operations and, last but not least, quality control procedures taken from the laboratory to the field. This aspect also emphasizes the importance of team work and collaborations between all parties, including the chemical suppliers.
