Advanced Steam Injection Processes and Oil Operator Course
Introduction:
- Steam injection is a thermal stimulation technique used to enhance oil recovery by introducing heat into the reservoir. This heat serves to expand the oil in place, lower its viscosity, and provide the necessary driving force to improve the efficiency of fluid displacement. This course delves into the fundamental concepts underlying steam injection processes in the field, with a primary focus on practical aspects. Additionally, the course covers equations and calculations relevant to steam injection operations.
Course Objectives:
Review and practice of Steam Injection processes.
- Use and practice of Steam Thermal tables to calculate the injected energy in a steam
- Injection well.
- Steam flood Temperature and Saturation Profiles
