In the news
September 20th, 2012, article in the Sept. 24 issue of the Oil & Gas Journal Daily Update. "A bill was introduced in the U.S. congress designed to expand the use of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery. S. 3581 would modify a federal carbon capture & storage tax incentive that provides a $10/tonne credit for CO2 used in EOR and $20/tonne for CO2 placed directly into secure geological storage".
April 2nd, 2012, article in the Oil & Gas Journal by Philip Schenewerk, General Chair, 18th Improved Oil Recovery Symposium April 14th – 18th in Tulsa. "EOR can extend the promise of unconventional oil and gas"
February 2012, article by Philip H. "Pete" Stark in The American Oil & Gas Reporter magazine. "Shale Gas, Tight Oil and EOR Creating Rare Opportunity for Industry and Nation"

Some of what MORE 2012, August 8th, in Texas included:
At our August 8th, meeting we heard significant & encouraging information. MORE 2012 meetings in Long Beach California and Denver Colorado will cover some of the information we heard in Texas with some additional regionally pertinent material added.
Commercializing the ROZ (Residual Oil Zone) and its tremendous potential – The presence of an oil bearing transition zone (TZ) beneath the traditionally defined base oil-water contact (OWC) of an oil reservoir is well established. What is now clear is that, in certain geologic & hydrodynamic conditions, an additional residual oil zone (ROZ) may exist below this TZ. This zone may be extensive, thick, & filled with a residual oil that may be recoverable using CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR). --

Immiscible Floods versus Miscible and that Miscibility Isn't a "Holy Grail" full fields are being produced at "near-miscible" & even immiscible pressures & fluids –
Mid-Con Energy Operating companies encouraging progress with the more economical new generation chemical EOR technologies that have been confirmed through core flood laboratory studies and single-well field tests –
Productivity increases by applying energized fluids –
Advances in MEOR technologies that are proving profitable for the producers – What has changed and how to best utilize --
Some of the Challenges, Key Risk Factors and Solutions when utilizing surfactant EOR & that Surfactant EOR technologies have greatly improved --
Critical Conformance Considerations – A review of Conformance Technologies and the Best / Most Economical Applications of each --
Key reasons for failures of a chemical EOR project – How you can save money! --
We heard case studies of the use of "Liquid Polymer" in three Mississippian wells instead of the dry powder used in many common practices; these wells all significantly increased BOPD output and reduced BWPD output –
Also covered was a newly patented coupled reservoir and wellbore surveillance technology that accurately determines well performance in a single zone or commingled production well using a new approach to multiphase flow modeling in wellbores. Unlike any type of down hole fluids flow rates measurements (such as production logging, down hole multiphase flow meters, etc.) this new technology accurately couples the reservoir and the wellbore. This means that events such as water and/or gas coning can be determined in a well. Also for enhanced oil recovery wells the increased production gained from the recovery mechanism in every zone in the reservoir, draining into the wellbore of the well, can be accurately determined. This new technology uses readily available well data that does not require wellbore intervention --

A special note – If you have an EOR project or technology with at least some field performance data that appears to not be covered by the agenda or if you have a presentation you feel should be considered for the agenda, we want to know about it.

The Queen Mary's creation and launch was nothing if not extraordinary and her story is rich with history, elegance and grandeur. From the time her construction began in 1930 in Clydebank, Scotland, the Queen Mary was destined to stand in a class all her own. Despite suffering economic setbacks during the Great Depression, which stalled construction on the ship for several years, Cunard Line spared no expense on building the Queen Mary – which was originally known as job #534. On May 27, 1937, the Queen Mary departed from Southampton, England embarking on her maiden voyage.
We do not have a room block. Register early as this is a busy time for the Queen Mary Hotel.
Room rates run from $125.00 to $400.00 nightly plus tax. Example from the Queen Mary Hotel website "Deluxe Room with 1 King Harbor View USD $179.00"
Reservations need to be made directly with the Queen Mary Hotel. You may book online by visiting www.queenmary.com or call 1-877-342-0742.
