The Full-Scale Application of Miscible Flooding for Eor and Gas Utilization

In the context of oil field development remote from export infrastructure, excess APG (associated petroleum gas) represents an administrative and economic obstacle due to the significant cost of building the infrastructure for associated petroleum gas export or implementing methods of its utilization on site. APG should be handled somehow in order to allow a greenfield development but due to relatively small oil reserves and remoteness some conventional methods might undermine the whole case. The solution to this problem is APG reinjection into an oil reservoir, which will allow both its utilization and a positive effect of additional oil production (McGuire, 2017, Orangi et al., 2011, Kleppe, 2006) The need for APG utilization arose at one of the fields of the Remote Group. A few ideas on what to do with APG were generated and assessed and the best one was integrated into the actual project and is currently in operation.
