 Why EOR?

Production maintenance in the medium and long term

 Contribute to the fulfillment of the  High potential to Increase production in large fields of Peru
reserve replacement goals (2P to 1P).
Opportunity
 Conjunction of low cost Operations and facilities suitable for
 Strategic Priority : Oil is one of the main
several types of EOR projects
economic pillars of the world.
Scale of resources
 Large volumes of oil remaining waiting for being produced
When we should apply EOR?  Recent discoveries of unconventional resources (Deep
Water, Heavy Oil,Shale)
 The first opportunity was when we take the
Reservoir.
 The last chance is now.

What we need?

Knowledge of Evaluation of
Data Screening Pilot
the Reservoir the Process
WORKFLOW - EOR PROJECT
EOR METHODS
 CYCLIC STEAM STIMULATION (CSS)

The Field Duri located in Indonesia, the Kern River Field in California, and
the Pikes Peak Country in Lloydminster, Canada, are examples of this
technology.
 STEAM ASSISTED GRAVITY DRAINAGE

SAGD method is used in many fields in Canada, including fields Christina

Lake and MacKay River.
 EXCERCISE

 Use the Screening Table to define the better EOR process to apply to the reservoir.

 Make a reservoir simulation run with CMG of the reservoir.

 Adjust parameters to increase the recovery factor of the reservoir in 5 years.

 As conclusión recomend two or three methods to apply to this reservoir.
