Conference on ” North Africa Oil & Gaz Integrated Solutions: Holistic approach”

Moderated by Professor Pr. El Kheir Zemouri, Principal Geoscientist, EnQuest, Malaysia

The Faculty of Science and Technology invites all students and teachers to a conference on Thursday, January 13, 2022 at 9:30 am at Amphi4 moderated by Professor Pr. El Kheir Zemouri, from EnQuest, Malaysia on “ North Africa Oil &Gaz Integrated Solutions:  Holistic approach”.

Abstract: Currently we are dealing with mature field been producing for 30 or 40 years through natural drive mechanism of pressure depletion, or secondary recovery mechanism which consist of pressure maintenance with gas or water injection or both. But ,in either cases recovery hardly goes above 30%. So EOR or tertiary recovery mechanism can take recovery as high as 75%. But this requires very sophisticated technology to apply feasibility study up front  which consist of for example injecting CO2, steam, surfactant etc… all old field or marginal field require this before they proceed to abandonment. Very important research is ongoing to find the best method for EOR.
