What is Nitrogen Injection?

Nitrogen Injection is an "enhanced oil recovery" (EOR) technology that
represents the greenest way for recovering America's "trapped oil." 

Nitrogen injection, also referred to as "gas injection" which uses nitrogen as
the gas to improve oil recovery. 

Gas injection also uses other gases in EOR applications. Other gases include
natural gas and carbon dioxide or CO2. When the gas is injected into the
reservoir, via an injection well, the gas expands in the reservoir to push or
drive additional oil to a production wellbore.  Other gases that "dissolve" in
the oil which lowers the viscosity of the oil and improves its flow rate. Gas
injection, including nitrogen injection, accounts for nearly 50 percent of EOR
production in the United States.

What are EOR Technologies?

EOR Technologies is a new company with a focus on deploying the optimum EOR
technology on a "technology-neutral" basis - as determined by our clients
specific requirements. 

Over the past forty years, the enhanced oil recovery industry has produced a
number of excellent and proven EOR technologies.  However, the optimum EOR
technology for any one particular client with declining oil production, is
dependent on a number of variables that must be identified and understood before
selecting the correct EOR technology, including;

 * Specific oil reservoir 

 * Reservoir type & condition

 * Depth of pay zone

 * Interfacial tension

 * Mobility & mobility control

 * Oil composition

 * Oil gravity

 * Oil reserve

 * Overall condition of well/wellbore

 * Permeability

 * Porosity

 * Reservoir's brine salinity (NaCl) content

 * Reservoir sweep/sweep efficiency potential

 * Reservoir's temperature

 * Working condition of reservoir 

among others. The " optimum" EOR technology for one reservoir and pay zone may
not be the optimum EOR technology for another - even within the same oil field.
That's why we are "EOR technology neutral." We apply the optimum EOR technology
for each client's specific requirements for maximizing our client's oil
recovery, at the least possible cost. 

Enhanced oil recovery represents a significant opportunity for companies with
declining oil production to significantly increase their oil production and
revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services.


How much more oil can we produce from our "mature" oil field and wells? 

Enhanced oil recovery or "EOR" represents a significant opportunity for
companies with declining oil production to significantly increase their oil
production and revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services. 

As seen above, there are a number of variables that determine the potential
increase in production for any particular application. 

With that said, some of the EOR technologies can have a significant reversal in
oil production. And by "significant," this could mean anywhere from a 100%
increase in oil production to a 500% increase in oil production. 

Would increasing your oil production from 10 bbls/day to 20 bbls/day for a 100%
increase in oil production, would that make a difference? How about going from
100 bbls/day to 500 bbls/day for a 500% increase in oil production. That's the
possibility with enhanced oil recovery. 


Are you ready to move forward with EOR Technologies and start increasing your
oil production?

EOR Technologies, as an independent EOR technology-neutral company has an
interest in assisting companies reverse their declining oil production and
offers 4 options to move forward.  

First of all, the oil production must be located in the USA or Canada and we
must conduct a test on the client's well(s) to make a determination of existing
conditions and the optimum solution(s). There is no charge for our initial
consult and evaluation.  


What is Enhanced Oil Recovery?

Enhanced Oil Recovery, is a technology which is used to recover the "trapped
oil" in the oil reservoirs underground that were not recovered in the primary
oil recovery stage.  Enhanced Oil Recovery - also referred to as "EOR" is the
3rd (third) or last/final stage of oil recovery. 

When an oil well is first completed and oil production begins, this is called
the primary oil recovery stage. There may be anywhere from 5% to 15% of the
"original oil in place" (OOIP) in the oil well's underground reservoir that is
recovered via "natural" reservoir drive.  The "natural reservoir drive" is the
natural force or reservoir pressure that "drives" or displaces the oil to flow
into the production well's well bore.

The secondary oil recovery stage is where additional production measures are
installed wherein anywhere from 10% to 30% of the original oil in place is
recovered.

According to the Department of Energy, there are 400 billion barrels of original
oil in place that has still not been recovered.  Enhanced Oil Recovery has the
potential to recover up to 60% of this 400 billion barrels of oil, or 240
Billion barrels of oil in the USA.


What is "mobility" and mobility control within an oil reservoir and why is it
important?

The definition of mobility (within an oil reservoir) is the ratio of its
relative permeability in a "porous" medium to its viscosity. By reducing water's
mobility - through the increase of its' viscosity through the addition of
polymer (PAM) the  properties become nearly identical to the oil within the
target pay zone/reservoir. 

In Chemical EOR and chemical flooding, such as "polymer flooding," water is made
more "viscous" (becoming more of a gel than a liquid) by adding polymer in order
to obtain a "mobility ratio" of 1 between water and oil, i.e. the same mobility
for the two different fluids. 

In water with low a low salinity content, a a polymer concentration of 400 parts
per million (ppm) or 0.4 g/l can easily boost the viscosity of water by nearly
ten times. This makes the overall chemical flooding process more efficient
requiring less water. 


What is Chemical Flooding? 

"Chemical Flooding," also referred to as Chemical EOR, is one of the types of
"Enhanced Oil Recovery" (EOR) technologies used for improving oil recovery in
older, declining and "marginal" oil wells/oil reservoirs.  

There are a variety of chemicals used in chemical flooding to "enhance" oil
recovery - a few of these include alkaline chemicals,  polymers and
surfactants. 

"Polymer Flooding," which has been in use for about 40 years, is experiencing
greater acceptance and more applications in Enhanced Oil Recovery due to the
decrease in price of polymers, particularly hydrolyzed polyacrylamide or "PAM." 


What is CO2-EOR?

CO2 EOR is an "enhanced oil recovery" technology that injects CO2 (carbon
dioxide) into an underground geologic zone (oil/hydrocarbon containing
"reservoir") that contains hydrocarbons for the purpose of producing the oil.
The CO2 is produced along with the oil and then recovered and re-injected to
recover more oil.

When the maximum amount of oil is recovered from the reservoir, the CO2 is then
"sequestered" in the underground geologic zone that formerly contained the oil
and the well is shut-in, permanently sequestering the CO2.

 




What is CO2 Flooding?

CO2 flooding is an "enhanced oil recovery" (EOR) technology wherein CO2 is
injected into a known oil containing reservoir for recovering a large percentage
of the "original oil in place" that was not recovered via primary recovery
methods. During CO2 flooding the carbon dioxide and the remaining oil in the
reservoir "mix" above a specific pressure known as the "minimum miscibility
pressure" or MMP. At pressures equal to or above the minimum miscibility
pressure, the carbon dioxide acts similarly to a "solvent" flooding the
reservoir and leaving only a very small amount of residue behind. At pressures
below the minimum miscibility pressure, the carbon dioxide increases oil
production by "swelling" the oil thereby reducing its viscosity.


What is CO2 Injection?

CO2 Injection is an "enhanced oil recovery" (EOR) technology that represents the
greenest way for recovering America's "trapped oil" also known as stranded oil.

The major oil companies, when producing oil in "primary recovery" typically
produce and recover the "easy oil" representing as little as 10% of the oil
reservoir's "original oil in place." After recovering the easy oil, it is
necessary to go into "secondary recovery" which is also referred to as enhanced
oil recovery. These secondary recovery methods are expensive and sometimes only
producing marginal amounts of oil. Therefore, some oil companies simply choose
to plug and abandon the well and move on to the next project after only
recovering as little as 10% of the oil in the reservoir.

Recovering the remaining oil in reservoirs is the purpose behind deploying
enhanced oil recovery technologies which enables the remaining oil to flow, or
drain from the host rock in the underground reservoir, to a production well.
Enhanced oil recovery technologies produce the otherwise stranded oil from the
otherwise depleted reservoir.

There are a number of enhanced oil recovery technologies and methods that have
been used such as steam injection however, technologies such as these are
expensive, and requires combustion of additional fossil fuel, releasing even
more greenhouse gas emissions. Steam injection is particularly beneficial when
dealing with production of "heavy oil."

CO2 Injection, and "CO2 Flooding," have been heralded as the greenest way to
recover stranded oil as carbon dioxide frees the stranded oil easily and
affordably - and after the oil has been recovered, the co2 is "trapped" in the
reservoir, in a solution called "carbon capture and sequestration." In CO2
injection, carbon dioxide, under pressure, is injected between oil wells to
freeing the stranded oil. At one time, water was injected to free the stranded
oil, but the water mixed with the oil and the recovered liquid quickly became
mostly water, that had to be separated from the oil. CO2 is a superior agent in
recovering stranded oil as the CO2 naturally reduces the surface tension that
traps the liquid oil to in the oil reservoir. When the oil is recovered from the
production well, CO2 is also produced, but is easily separated from the crude
oil because the CO2 reverts back to its gaseous state when the pressure is
removed.


What is "Microbial EOR?"

Microbial EOR, is one of the newer forms of "enhanced oil recovery" technologies
that has quite a few new companies all claiming they have the most effective
microbe or microbes for increasing oil production in the 3rd and final stage of
oil recovery.

While Microbial EOR technology appears to be a promising technology, there are
many others EOR Technologies that have a longer track record and may be a better
choice and more effective strategy for increasing oil production.

We represent an engineering company that provides enhanced oil recovery
engineering services on a strict "vendor-neutral." They are a recognized
engineering company that will identify the optimum EOR technology for your
specific application and reservoir. In addition, we represent several investors
and an investment bank interested in enhanced oil recovery opportunities,
companies and making acquisitions of oil production suitable for enhanced oil
recovery.


What is Polymer Flooding?

"Polymer Flooding" one of the leading types of "Enhanced Oil Recovery" (EOR)
technologies used for improving oil recovery - particularly in older and
declining oil wells/oil reservoirs. Polymer flooding is also referred to as
"chemical flooding" as well as "Chemical EOR."

To further define "polymer flooding," one must also know what a polymer is. 

So, what is "polymer"? 

Poly = many

mer =  part

So, polymer, roughly defined, means "many parts."

In polymer flooding, the polymers used reduces the "surface tension" between the
oil and the oil-containing rock within the oil reservoir, "freeing" the trapped
oil making it easier to flow to the production well(s). 

What Polyacrylamide? 

Polyacrylamide powder or "PAM" is a non-toxic powder that is a long-chain
molecule first used in cleaning wastewater at wastewater treatment plants. In
polymer flooding, PAM makes the water "gel" greatly improving the production of
oil.  In polymer flooding, polymer, or polymers, are used to make the water
injected into the (injection well) oil reservoirs more "viscous" or thick, much
like a gel.  This greatly improves oil production, and is particularly
beneficial in heavy oil recovery. 

Several of the leading benefits of polymer flooding include: 

 * Improved oil recovery 

 * Increased "sweep efficiency"

 * Significantly less water required when compared with typical water-flooding &
   steam injection 

 * Superior EOR technology with "heavy oil" formations/reservoirs with low
   viscosity and where Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is not suitable


What is Solar EOR?

Solar EOR, also referred to as "solar enhanced oil recovery" is a new energy
technology which utilizes concentrating solar power plants (with "parabolic
troughs") to capture the energy of the sun - instead of natural gas (which fires
boilers) - for steam generation wherein the steam is injected into oil
reservoirs to produce oil through the standard enhanced oil recovery
technologies.

Unfortunately for the nascent Solar EOR industry and fairly-established
concentrating solar power industry, natural gas prices have plummeted well below
$3.00/mmbtu, making Solar EOR a technology that cannot be justified or
considered by either oil and gas companies/producers or investors wanting a
competitive return on their investment.  

Additional problems with Solar EOR are the problems relating to the days when
the sun isn't shining - rain, fog, drizzle - and there isn't enough (or any)
steam that is generated.  Even when the sun is shining, the energy produced from
the sun from the Solar EOR system generates steam for only about 5 hours/day. As
oil and natural gas companies engaged in enhanced oil recovery operate 24 x 7 x
365, few, if any, will find much benefit being able to generate steam for only
20% - 25% of each day.  These companies engaged in enhanced oil recovery
operations will therefore, still be required to have a natural gas fired power
plant for steam generation purposes, for their operations. There is no learning
curve for these oil and natural gas companies engaged in enhanced oil recovery.
Oil and natural gas companies know and understand natural gas fired power plants
- typically having their own natural gas to run the power plant.


What is Steam Injection?

Steam Injection is an "enhanced oil recovery" (EOR) technology that represents
one of the most efficient methods for recovery of "trapped oil," particularly
stranded oil that is considered to be "heavy oil." Steam Injection is the
primary method of "thermal stimulation" and production of oil in most oil
reservoirs. There are several different forms of the technology, with the two
leading methods known as; Cyclic Steam Stimulation and Steam Flooding. Both
variations of Steam Injection are used to produce oil in oil reservoirs that are
relatively shallow and which contain crude oils which are known to be "heavy
oil." Heavy oil is "viscous" at the ambient temperatures within the native
underground oil reservoir and formation.




The major oil companies, when producing oil in "primary recovery" typically
produce and recover the "easy oil" representing as little as 10% of the oil
reservoir's "original oil in place." After recovering the easy oil, it is
necessary to go into "secondary recovery" which is also referred to as enhanced
oil recovery or tertiary recovery. These secondary recovery methods are
expensive and sometimes only producing marginal amounts of oil. Therefore, some
oil companies simply choose to plug and abandon the well and move on to the next
project after only recovering as little as 10% of the oil in the reservoir
leaving behind what is referred to as "trapped oil." 

Trapped oil - in reservoirs where enhanced oil recovery technologies are
deployed to enable the stranded oil to flow, or drain from the host rock in the
underground reservoir, to a production well. Enhanced oil recovery technologies
produce the otherwise stranded oil from the otherwise depleted reservoir.


What is Surfactant EOR?

Surfactant EOR - or surfactant enhanced oil recovery, is one of the promising
types of "enhanced oil recovery" or "EOR," technologies for the recovery of
"trapped oil" (or "stranded" oil). 

What are "surfactants"?

Surfactants are a broad group of mostly non-toxic "soaps" or chemicals (in both
powder and liquid form) that are commonly found in soap, detergents, dishwashing
soap and even shampoo.  The type of surfactants used in surfactant EOR are of
the industrial-strength variety that reduce the viscosity of the oil in the
reservoir that makes the oil easier to recover. 


What is Surfactant Flooding?

Surfactant Flooding - also referred to as Surfactant EOR is one of the leading
types of "enhanced oil recovery" or "EOR" technologies that are used to free
"trapped oil" wherein surfactants - or soaps, are used as the chemical that is
injected in the reservoir to increase oil production. 


What is "Trapped Oil"?

"Trapped Oil," also referred to as "stranded oil," is the oil that is normally
not recoverable in an oil field/reservoir. A number of reasons may determine the
oil to be trapped, mostly related to either geology or economics or a
combination of the two. 

When an oil well is first completed and oil production begins, this is called
the primary oil recovery stage. Anywhere from 5% to 15% of the "original oil in
place" (OOIP) in the oil well's reservoir is recovered via "natural" reservoir
drive, meaning natural forces drive or displace the oil into the production
well's well bore.

The secondary oil recovery stage is where additional production measures are
installed wherein anywhere from 10% to 30% of the original oil in place is
recovered. When the secondary oil recovery stage is complete - and ready for
Enhanced Oil Recovery - 55% to 85% of the original oil in place remains. At this
point, many companies may determine that the economics are not justified to
recover the remaining "trapped oil" and may decide to plug and abandon the
well. 

The Department of Energy and petroleum engineers are on record in stating that
Enhanced Oil Recovery has the potential to recover up to 60% of the remaining
55% to 85% of the trapped oil.  

In the USA, Enhanced Oil Recovery has the potential to recover up 240 Billion
barrels of oil. At $100/bbl, Enhanced Oil Recovery represents a $24 Trillion
market opportunity (in the U.S.A.).
