Title:
Forecasting for CCUS EOR Performance
Abstract:
The focus on global warming has raised Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration to the forefront of many discussions involving oil companies today. One of the challenges facing engineers is to economically justify the large capital investment with anticipated revenue streams, and to demonstrate containment for extended periods of time. Accurate forecasts of EOR performance as part of a Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage project are needed throughout the life of the project, from conception to designing the required facilities, developing project economics for sanction, and surveilling and monitoring post installation. Three very distinct approaches are commonly used: decline curve analysis, simulation and dimensionless analysis. Each approach is described, and pros and cons of each approach are discussed, as well as incorporation into the reservoir surveillance and management exercise, for the purpose of enhancing project performance.
Bio:
David Hampton is the technical reservoir lead for Occidental Petroleum’s Onshore Resources and Carbon Management. He is a professional reservoir engineer experienced in project management and field development planning. Considered an expert in improving injection operations and ultimate oil recovery through waterflood and EOR processes (miscible gas injection and chemical), he is a successful leader of a variety of field development projects using procedures that confirm design philosophy, minimize risk and optimize recovery. He holds a BS in Petroleum Engineering from UT Austin and an MS in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Houston.
