Fourth in a Series of Enhanced Gas and Oil Recovery (EGOR) Technology Information Sessions

Alberta Research Council Inc. and Nexen Inc. invite you, or a representative from your organization, to attend an information session for a proposal to initiate a Joint Industry Project (JIP). The ultimate goal of this JIP is to increase gas recovery by using water shut-off techniques.

Date:	Wednesday, May 7, 2003
Time:	11:30 a.m. – 1:00 pm
Location:	ConocoPhillips Conference Centre, West End Gulf Canada Square 401 – 9 Avenue SW, Calgary, AB, 3rd floor

  
Background
Proper placement of blocking gels in the near wellbore region of the gas well will reduce the influx of water into the well bore and allow increased gas production rates. Sequential slugs of water-based gelant followed by nitrogen gas, are injected into the gas producing well. The nitrogen displaces the gelant away from the wellbore, opening channels through which natural gas can flow back to the producing well after the treatment.

Scope of Information Session

• Overview of Research Project
• Laboratory Results
• Field Applications
• Field Case Simulations

Examples of Target Gas Reservoirs:  

NW Alberta	NE Alberta	SW Alberta	SE Alberta
Beaverhill lake	Mannville & McMurray	D-3	Mannville
Belloy	Grand Rapids	Rundle	Bow Island
D-1 to D3	Colony	Mannville	Belly River
Wabamun	Wabamun		Viking
Blue Sky	Nisku

Who Should Attend

• Operators of gas reservoirs
• Geologists, development and exploitation engineers and managers
• Reservoir engineers and managers

The Opportunity
ARC’s Enhanced Gas and Oil Recovery (EGOR) program is an industry-driven program to develop technologies focused on improving oil and natural gas recovery. Industry Members, the Alberta Energy Research Institute (AERI), and ARC jointly fund this program. The participating companies play a major role in directing the focus of the research program, gain direct access to the experimental results relating to their field operations, receive a royalty free license to use the developed technologies, and have a financial leverage of 3 to 1 or more.

To obtain technical information, please contact Elena Tzanco of ARC by phone: (403) 210-5205, fax: (403) 210-5277, or email: Tzanco @ arc.ab.ca.

To register, please contact Arlene Merling of PTAC no later than May 6, 2003 .
