First EAGE Online Workshop on EOR in Latin America: Research, Planning, Implementation and Surveillance

Historically, different geo-political situations and offer -demand unbalance caused low oil price periods.

Those times harmfully impact the EOR activities and the professionals devoted to it; the Covid-19 pandemic is not the exception. Regardless that, the assets certainly require volumetric and microscopic sweep efficiency improvement to maximize the oil recovery factor (RF).

Decades of studies, field pilot tests, and full-field deployment yielded a sound theoretical knowledge, new methodology advent, and several lessons on how to apply EOR better. However, in the open literature, the systematic treatment of the economic aspect is limited compare with the technical.

This paper addresses the profitability of EOR projects, paying particular attention to the low oil price periods, given their detrimental effects. It proposes a combination of five technical solutions. Four of them already tried in the field to a variable extent, and one still to be piloted and deployed.
