2nd Annual Enhanced Oil Recovery & Heavy Oil Conference

From: 27 Mar 2013  To: 28 Mar 2013  City: Abu Dhabi  Venue: Abu Dhabi 

"EOR is becoming more important in the Middle East, due to increasing maturity of some fields; to higher oil prices which make EOR techniques more economic; to improvements in EOR technology from recent experience, such as in chemical EOR, or steam-flooding; and from the environmental driver to reduce CO2 emissions. However, it is still relatively early days, and there is a lot to be learnt about how to apply EOR techniques mostly effectively in the Middle East context, for instance to carbonate reservoirs, and deep high-salinity reservoirs" - Robin Mills, Head of Consulting at Manaar Energy - Dubai, and author of 'The Myth of the Oil Crisis' and 'Capturing Carbon



TOPIC OF THE WEEK
