Abstract:To meet energy demand while reducing CO2 emissions in a carbon constrained future, one of the key milestones of the roadmap proposed by the International Energy Agency is to stop new oil and gas field developments and extend instead existing fields’ lifetime. Waterflood and EOR recovery methods aiming at optimizing mature fields’ oil production thus appears as technologies of choice. Nonetheless, oil production by waterflood is energy and therefore carbon intensive, especially for oil fields exhibiting high wa… Show more
