New measures to increase recovery of oil from fields could lead to a more energy-efficient recovery, while emitting less chemicals and carbon dioxide than with current practices.
Since 1975, gas has been injected to increase recovery on the Norwegian shelf. The result is 320-360 million standard cubic metres more oil and condensate from the fields.
Research into the chalk reservoirs in the North Sea promises to extend the producing life not only of older Norwegian fields but also of discoveries in other parts of the world.
To ensure a high recovery factor, good utilisation of the resources and value creation from the fields, access to appropriate technology, sufficiently qualified personnel and ability to take...
Ways of improving recovery from Norwegian fields are many and varied – just like the reservoirs involved. These methods include water, gas, water combined with gas, foam plus water and gas,...
