Course Objectives		1. Delivering the methods and affecting factors of enhanced oil recovery (EOR), the method dependent properties of injected fluids, reservoir fluids, and reservoir rocks; 2. Providing the chemical and physical interaction between the injected fluids and reservoir fluid and rocks, selecting and testing of injection chemicals, and field experiences in chemical methods; 3. Providing the physical interaction between the injected gases and reservoir fluid and rocks, miscible and immiscible recovery mechanisms, and field experiences in high pressure gas injection methods; 4. Providing the thermal properties of injection fluid and reservoir fluid and rocks, recovery mechanisms, calculations for method design and aopplication, operational and field experiences in thermal methods.
Course Description		Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and affecting factors. Chemical methods (polymer, alkaline and alkaline polymer, micellar polymer injection). High pressure gas methods (carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon gas injection). Thermal methods (steam injection and in-situ combustion). Method related properties of injection and reservoir fluids and reservoir rocks. Field experiences and operating problems.
Course Outcomes		1. Application-oriented comprehension of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, their affecting factors, and the properties of injection fluids as well as the reservoir rocks and fluids related to each method; 2. Efficiently and creatively using the previously gained knowledge in basic sciences and basic engineering topics in the direction of EOR method selection and application; 3. Deciding on the necessary laboratory experiments and injection fluid tests, performing the design calculations, and evaluating and interpreting the obtained results for the particular EOR method to be applied in an oil reservoir.
