What is Reservoir Stimulation? 

EOR Technologies employs reservoir stimulation as an enhanced oil recovery method for increasing oil production by treating the reservoir (and the reservoir's "drive") so that the oil production increases in each of the production wells associated with the reservoir. 

Before a successful reservoir stimulation can occur, the "homework" has to be completed, reviewed and graded to determine the correct technology for the specific reservoir. The process is usually led by a petroleum engineer, reservoir engineer and/or geologist that is familiar with the reservoir and pay zone(s). Items reviewed and analyzed include;  reservoir characterization, reservoir productivity (by well) and will determine whether or not reservoir stimulation will be a worthwhile investment. Reservoir simulation or modeling of the reservoir is frequently used for arriving at the correct reservoir stimulation method to be deployed.  Formation damage may be one of the problems relating to the decline in oil production. Reservoir Stimulation includes review and analysis of the oil field, geology, and may include "tracer testing" as a part of the process involved in reservoir characterization. Technologies that may be used for reservoir stimulation may include hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" or acidizing, more accurately referred to as "matrix acidizing."

Who is EOR Technologies?

EOR Technologies is one of very few EOR "technology neutral" companies that deliver the maximum oil production for at the least cost for our clients located in the USA and Canada. Determining the optimum EOR technology to deploy for any specific reservoir and mature oil field demands critical review, analysis, evaluation, history, present conditions, site review, samples of oil and produced water and oil field operations by experts in; petroleum engineering, geology/geosystems engineering as well as environmental and regulatory compliance.  

Over the past forty years, the enhanced oil recovery industry has produced a number of excellent and proven EOR technologies. 

However, the optimum EOR technology for any one particular client with declining oil production, is dependent on a number of variables that must be identified and understood before selecting the correct EOR technology, including; 

• Specific oil reservoir  type / condition

• Depth of pay zone

• Interfacial tension or IFT (displacement efficiency)

• Mobility control (sweep efficiency)

• Oil composition

• Oil gravity

• Oil reserve

• Overall condition of well

• Permeability

• Porosity

• Produced water analysis

• Reservoir's brine (salinity NaCl) content

• Reservoir's temperature

• Tracer Testing

• Working condition of reservoir 

among others. 

The "optimum" EOR technology for one reservoir and pay zone may not be the optimum EOR technology for another - even within the same oil field. That's why we are "EOR technology neutral." We apply the optimum EOR technology for each client's specific requirements for maximizing our client's oil recovery, at the least possible cost. 

Enhanced oil recovery represents a significant opportunity for companies with declining oil production to significantly increase their oil production and revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services.

How much more oil can we produce from our "mature" oil field and wells? 

Enhanced oil recovery or "EOR" represents a significant opportunity for companies with declining oil production to significantly increase their oil production and revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services. 

As seen above, there are a number of variables that determine the potential increase in production for any particular application. 

With that said, some of the EOR technologies can have a significant reversal in oil production. And by "significant," this could mean anywhere from a 100% increase in oil production to a 500% increase in oil production. 

Would increasing your oil production from 5 bbls/day to 10 bbls/day for a 100% increase in oil production.  Would that make a difference? How about going from 100 bbls/day to 500 bbls/day for a 500% increase in oil production. That's the possibility with enhanced oil recovery. 

What is "mobility" and mobility control within an oil reservoir and why is it important ?

The definition of mobility is the ratio of its relative permeability in a "porous" medium to its viscosity. By reducing water's mobility - through the increase of its' viscosity through the addition of polymer (PAM) the  properties become nearly identical to the oil within the target pay zone/reservoir. 

In Chemical EOR and chemical flooding (which includes polymer flooding) water is made more "viscous" by adding a  polymer in order to obtain a "mobility ratio" of 1 between water and the oil in the target pay zone; i.e. the same mobility for the two different fluids. 

In water with low a low salinity content, polymer flooding can easily boost the viscosity of water making the chemical flooding process more efficient requiring less water. 

Moving forward with EOR Technologies and start increasing your oil production.

EOR Technologies is an "independent" EOR company that is EOR "technology-neutral."  We provide the optimum EOR technology for companies seeking to reverse their declining oil production. EOR technology-neutral means that EOR Technologies is 

* NOT a chemical company selling chemicals 

* NOT an engineering company selling EOR engineering or petroleum engineering services 

and 

* We are NOT an equipment company, selling EOR equipment or recently-patented products! 

For us to assist, your oil production must be located in the USA or Canada and by an initial no-charge telephone consult, determine whether your oil wells/mature oil field may qualify and benefit from one of our EOR technologies.

The United States will recover more than 300 Billion Barrels of Oil through 
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies according to the Department of Energy.

In the next 10-15 years, 50% of the oil produced in the USA 
will be through Enhanced Oil Recovery technologies. 
And 50% of this amount will be produced by CO2-EOR.

The Enhanced Oil Recovery industry represents a $30 Trillion market, 
(in the USA) with oil priced at $100 per barrel.
