Extending oil recovery with gas injection
What are the end-of-life strategies for floods? With low pressure and high recovery, can anything be done?
After 30 years of pressure maintenance, one operator decided to change this old flood to dry gas cycling. This is recovery is working despite the pressure of the reservoir dropping to 1 MPa.
He boasts that by injecting dry gas, he has increased oil reserves by another million barrels.
You can see his application to the regulator to justify this cycling operation by clicking on the button below.

Some operators give up early. But some have kept their floods going for over seventy years. End of life strategies breathe new life into old floods. Considering many floods only get 10% recovery of the original oil in place, there are many opportunities to improve recovery.Contact Proven. We keep abreast of the use of oil and gas technology.
Indeed, some very well run floods have recovered over 75% of the OOIP. Continuous surveillance and implementing new ideas are the key to improved recovery.
