Taking A Nap: Passive EOR Implementation for Resilient Management of Cost and OPEX for A Polymer Flood Project with Horizontal Wells in South Sultanate of Oman

Abstract

Abstract This paper will discuss the evidence gathered proving the presence of Nothing-Alternating-Polymer (NAP) mechanism, in a current Polymer flood pattern during injectors offline periods, and the extension project designed to test and control NAP in conjunction with a nearby pattern in a horizontal wells environment. This project will help unlock a pragmatic Fullfield development, and highlight the associated benefits from a project’s perspective, leading towards huge savings and flexible operating conditions. Practical considerations and suggested operational methodology is also discussed.
