ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY
Maximising Recovery. Unlocking Reservoir Potential.
Premier Corex provides specialist laboratory testing and technical expertise to evaluate enhanced oil recovery processes under representative reservoir conditions. Our integrated approach helps operators assess recovery strategies, optimise injection performance and reduce uncertainty before field implementation.
The Challenge
As reservoirs mature, conventional recovery mechanisms can leave significant hydrocarbons behind. Selecting an appropriate EOR strategy requires understanding how reservoir rock, fluids and injected materials will interact under representative pressure, temperature and flow conditions.
Without representative laboratory evaluation, EOR programmes can carry significant uncertainty around compatibility, injectivity, displacement efficiency and ultimately incremental recovery.
Improving recovery requires a detailed understanding of reservoir behaviour.
Our Solution
De-Risking EOR Through Representative Laboratory Evaluation.
We deliver integrated EOR laboratory programmes that evaluate recovery processes and reservoir response under representative conditions. Through advanced coreflood testing, fluid analysis and technical interpretation, our specialists work alongside operators to assess displacement behaviour, fluid-rock interactions and injection performance, providing the information needed to screen, optimise and de-risk EOR strategies.
Enhanced Oil Recovery Capabilities
-
Waterflooding & Low Salinity EOR
Evaluate conventional and low-salinity water injection strategies to understand displacement behaviour, fluid-rock interactions and recovery performance under representative reservoir conditions.
-
Gas Injection & WAG
Evaluate miscible gas injection and Water Alternating Gas (WAG) strategies to understand displacement behaviour and optimise recovery performance under representative reservoir conditions.
-
Chemical & Foam EOR
Evaluate alkaline, surfactant, polymer, nano-fluid and foam systems to assess compatibility, flow behaviour and their potential to improve displacement efficiency and recovery.
-
Advanced Injection Strategies
Investigate secondary and tertiary recovery processes, including slug and co-mingled injection, to evaluate injection performance and optimise recovery strategies.
-
CO₂ EOR & Sequestration
Evaluate CO₂ injection and rock-fluid interactions to support enhanced oil recovery and the assessment of subsurface storage performance.
