Feasibility of increasing Oil Recovery by CO2 injection in Syrian Fields

Doctor Adnan Oweijan

 

Abstract:

The objectives of this research to present technical and economical feasibility for  (EOR) by using miscible carbon dioxide (CO2) in Syrian oil fields (Deirez-zour region, essentially Alm field), so that CO2-EOR improvement displaces oil left in place (after primary production and secondary water flooding which has been successfully injected in these fields for many years) via achieving several properties especially:

  1. Reduction of oil viscosity.
  2. Swelling of oil volume and.
  3. Acidic effect on rock.
