Abstract

Indonesian oil and gas reserves have been depleting since 2000 with no major addition of new oil reserves. Therefore, it is imperative to increase national oil production by optimizing the mature fields through the implementation of successful EOR technology. Out of this approach, a comprehensive study has been carried out on the targeted field by exploring the potential of surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding. This article describes the formulation design, optimization, and lessons learned leading up to a successful and robust chemical EOR formulation designing for a low permeability and high clay (>20% clay) containing Indonesian oil field. The detailed workflow consists of analysis of fluid and rock characterization, tailor-made SP formulation designing, optimization and coreflood validation as presented in previous papers (Bazin, 2010). A series of surfactant formulation were designed and screened synthetically through a validated High Throughput Screening (HTS) methodology using...
