MODERN CHEMICAL ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY - JAMES J. SHENG.

Today fossil fuels supply more than 85% of the world’s energy. Currently, we
are producing roughly 87 million barrels per day—32 billion barrels per year
in the world. That means every year the industry has to find twice the remaining
volume of oil in the North Sea just to meet the target to replace the depleted
reserves. Of the 32 billion barrels produced each year, almost 22 billion come
out of sandstone reservoirs. The reserves and production ratios in sandstone
fields have around 20 years of production time left. The proven and probable
reserves in carbonate fields have around 80 years of production time left (Montaron,
2008). With global energy demand and consumption forecast to grow
rapidly during the next 20 years, a more realistic solution to meet this need lies
in sustaining production from existing fields for several reasons:
● The industry cannot guarantee new discoveries.
● New discoveries are most likely to lie in offshore, deep offshore, or difficultto-
produce areas.
● Producing unconventional resources would be more expensive than producing
from existing brown fields by enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods.
