Report Description
The term ‘enhanced oil recovery’ (EOR) refers to the technology used to extract crude oil that cannot be extracted through conventional technologies from oil reservoirs. It is also termed as tertiary recovery process as it takes place after primary and secondary oil recoveries. Oil extracted via primary recovery accounts for 5% to 15% of the total reservoir while secondary recovery can extract about 20% to 60% of the total oil present in the reservoir. By installing enhanced oil recovery technology, 35% to 75% oil can easily be extracted from the oil reservoir.

Enhanced oil recovery method is widely being adopted by the oil & gas market participants for their aged and newly explored wells. In addition, new technologies are being developed to improve the efficiency of the enhanced oil recovery technique. GCC is one of the mature oil extractors and has quite a good number of aged oil wells. To extract the proved reserves, oil extraction companies are pushing the use of enhanced oil recovery in existing oil wells. Besides, a number of new methods are being developed in the market such as chemical enhanced oil recovery to reduce the cost of oil recovery. On the basis of technology, enhanced oil recovery market in GCC can be broadly categorized as thermal enhanced oil recovery, gas/CO2 enhanced oil recovery, and chemical enhanced oil recovery. Thermal enhanced oil recovery technology consumes hot water and steam to stimulate the extraction of crude oil from the reservoir.

    ExxonMobil is a vertically integrated oil and gas company that’s mission is to “find safe, efficient, and responsible ways to bring affordable energy to the dynamic global markets. This success will be “built on long-term planning, disciplined investment, new leading-edge technologies, unmatched risks management and operational excellence” (ExxonMobil, 2014, p. 1). In the 2013 annual report, ExxonMobil outlined a strategic initiative of new leading-edge technologies such as “collaborating with XTO, who has a strong acreage position and operational expertise, to increase its Brakken recovery, enhance drilling, completion (the process of making an oil well ready for production), and operational excellence, in tight rock formation in the United States”. This collaboration gives Exxon “numerous opportunities to test its new technologies as well as implement its proven technologies for immediate benefits, such as the XFrac” (ExxonMobil, 2014, p. 19).…

    The key economic driver for the Oil Drilling & Gas Extraction Industry, crude oil prices, determines much of its profitability according to supply and demand. Price trends in West Texas Intermediate, a grade of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing, display the growth of its value in the past 3 years and past decade. An average barrel of crude oil grew from $26.18 in 2002 to $61.95 in 2009, $79.48 in 2010, and $94.87 in 2011 (Airlines, 2012). JP Morgan analysts project average annual prices above $99 in upcoming years (Sethuraman, 2012). Such upward growth points to lucrative profits.…

    Williston is the heart of Bakken oil country, the Fort McMurray of the U.S. 's north, for all the good, and bad, that brings. There are at least 3.1 billion barrels of recoverable oil trapped in the Bakken shale, a teardrop-shaped formation spread between North Dakota, eastern Montana and Saskatchewan, and likely many billions more. In recent years, new technology and high prices have made that oil both easier to get at and more valuable to sell. Today the race to pump it out--via a complex process known as hydraulic fracturing or "fracking"--is running at an Olympic pace.…

    My study as an undergraduate in petroleum engineering over the last year has made me assiduous in my approach for the knowledge of these treasures. This is depicted in the choice of my final year project titled, ‘Optimal Sidetrack Time using reservoir Simulation Approach’. It is extensively acknowledged that the rationale behind petroleum engineering is to inspect, characterize and put together procedures to optimize profit and gain rate of returns. My project was based on procedures for enhancing oil production by calculating the economic analysis. This was really insightful because I got the opportunity of learning how to use the…

    Tar Sands

    • 2451 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Extract Tar Sands is an extraction plant company located in Athabasca, Alberta. It is a leading extraction plant, and one of the worlds most global industries. Large investments are required but the future outcomes are unknown. Athabasca has the largest reservoir of crude bitumen in the world. The tar sands go through a refining process to separate the bitumen (black viscous oil) from the mixture of clay, sand and water. Extracting oil from tar sand is much more complex than pumping oil from an oil well. When the oil is separated from the mixture of sand, normally from the use of hot water, it goes through a thinning process in order to be transported through pipelines. There are many environmental concerns with regards to the mining of tar sands which include global warming, greenhouse emissions, water and air quality from the surrounding communities as well as effects to wildlife.…
