Full field chemical enhanced recovery simulation

Decline in oil production from mature fields combined with a volatile oil price is causing many oil companies to reconsider the future of these assets. Once a field is temporarily shut-in there is a significant risk that it could be abandoned especially in harsh environments such as the North Sea. The use of advanced stimulation techniques, such as chemical injection, could improve production and keep uneconomic fields in production for several years. This project will develop a simulation tool that will enable oil companies to evaluate chemical injection schemes and identify strategies that can maintain production, increase recovery and safeguard employment.
