ENHANCED OIL
RECOVERY IN INDIAN
CONTEXT
In order to arrest the declining trend in domestic
crude oil production, the government of India
through its upstream regulator, Directorate General
of Hydrocarbon (DGH) had called for stakeholder
consultation for promoting a policy on EOR in April
2017. Given so, ONGC is investing significant
resources on 28 EOR projects to tap an additional
194 MT from its Indian reservoirs. Likewise, Cairn
India has planned a massive EOR program for its
Rajasthan fields.
This workshop is organized keeping in mind the
current importance of EOR in the Indian oil Industry
for the benefit of the students of Petroleum
Engineering. Goal is for the student to get a direct
exposure to current industry practices and gain
valuable insight to EOR processes in Indian context
through experts in this area. The workshop is a not
for profit workshop and is open to students of
Petroleum Engineering from all Universities in India,
free of cost.
recovery). by reducing oil viscosity (e.g., thermal floods) or by
reducing capillary forces or interfacial tension (e.g.,
miscible floods). Volumetric sweep efficiency is
improved by developing a more favorable mobility
ratio between the injectant and the remaining oil-in-
place (e.g., polymer floods, water alternating-gas
processes). While thermal floods and immiscible
hydrocarbon water alternating gas injection have
been used in the western state of Gujarat by
ONGC, the sweep efficiency in the Rajasthan oil
fields of Cairn are being improved by polymer flood
and alkaline surfactant flooding. ONGC has also
Implemented in-situ combustion/air Injection and
simultaneous water and gas injection (SWAG) in
Mumbai High.
Course participants will learn these topics through
lectures. Also case studies and assignments will be
shared to stimulate research motivation of
participants. All participants will get a certificate of
participation from DIT University.

OVERVIEW
The global average oil recovery factor for a typical
oilfield is approximately 20- 40%. This can be
attributed to the primary depletion or secondary
water-flooding of the reservoir. Given so, a large
amount of identified oil is left behind despite an
existing production infrastructure. Enhanced oil
recovery (abbreviated EOR) is the implementation
of various techniques for increasing the amount The goal of any enhanced oil recovery process is to Mussoorie Diversion Road, Makkawala,
of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field. mobilize "remaining" oil. This is achieved by Dehradun, Uttarakhand 248009
Enhanced oil recovery is also called tertiary enhancing oil displacement and volumetric sweep
