i EOR: intelligent enhanced oil recovery
AI-Powered Intelligent Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Software Maximizing Reservoir Recovery with Machine Learning & Automated Optimization
Performance Highlights Recovery Rate Boost: Increases hydrocarbon recovery by 15–30% compared to conventional EOR methods.
Real-Time Optimization: Continuously adjusts injection parameters (water, gas, chemical) for maximum sweep efficiency.
Cost Efficiency: Reduces EOR operational costs by 20–40% through AI-driven chemical & energy optimization.
Risk Mitigation: Predicts & prevents early breakthrough, fingering, and injectivity loss with 85%+ accuracy.
Compatibility & Integration
Data Inputs
- Reservoir Data: Static models (PETREL™, CMG), well logs (LAS), core data, PVT reports.
- Real-Time Feeds: SCADA (WITSML), downhole sensors (pressure/temperature gauges), production data (OSIsoft PI).
- Third-Party Software:
- Reservoir Simulators (Eclipse®, tNavigator®) – AI refines simulation inputs.
- Production Optimization Tools (PIPESIM®, Nexus®) – Syncs with lift strategies.
Control Systems
- Injection Well Automation: Adjusts water/gas injection rates via PLCs (Modbus, OPC-UA).
- Chemical Dosing Systems: AI-controlled surfactant/polymer injection (HART/Foundation Fieldbus).
How It Works: AI-Driven EOR Optimization
- Reservoir Screening & EOR Selection
- AI Evaluates:
- Reservoir rock/fluid properties (permeability, viscosity, wettability).
- Historical production decline curves.
- Recommends Optimal EOR Method:
- Water Flooding (low-cost, high-sweep efficiency).
- Gas Injection (CO₂, miscible/immiscible).
- Chemical EOR (Polymer, Surfactant-Polymer, Nanofluids).
- Thermal (Steam Flooding for heavy oil).
- Smart Injection Management
- Adaptive Water Flooding:
- AI adjusts injection rates & patterns based on real-time pressure data to avoid channeling.
- CO₂ WAG (Water-Alternating-Gas) Optimization:
- ML predicts minimum miscibility pressure (MMP) and optimizes WAG cycles.
- Chemical EOR Precision Dosing:
- AI models surfactant adsorption and polymer viscosity degradation to minimize waste.
- Production Monitoring & Anomaly Detection
- Early Breakthrough Warning:
- Detects water/gas breakthrough via rate/pressure anomalies.
- Conformance Control:
- Recommends gel treatments or injection profile modifications to fix uneven sweep.
- Economic & Sustainability Analytics
- ROI Forecasting:
- Calculates NPV (Net Present Value) of EOR projects with uncertainty ranges.
- Carbon Footprint Reduction:
- Optimizes CO₂ recycling and energy use per barrel.
