Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) technologies are expected to play an important role in supporting clean energy transitions across Asia as an emissions reduction’s pathway for fossil-fuel as well as to improve oil and gas production in meeting the region secure supply of energy.
There are two type CCS EOR or EGR, CO2 flooding and Huff and Puff (HnP). During the CO2 flooding mode, CO2 is injected through one injection well, and oil and gas will be produced from one production well. Injected CO2 will break through from the injection well to the production well along the fractures or high permeability channels in reservoirs and improve the recovery factor of oil and gas in place. Meanwhile, CO2 HnP uses one well as both injection well and production well to avoid gas break through. The HnP process consist of three stages process: gas injection stage, well soaking stage, and production stage. HnP has been known since 1960s, but the development of the technology is relatively slow due to available easier and cheaper to produces resources and lack of CO2 resources. However, since most oil fields depleted, HnP bring a new alternative to bring small fields and unconventional resources into production possible.
Former studies indicated that CO2 HnP has the advantages of strong pertinence, short cycle, and fast capital recovery. Those advantages could bring HnP good solution for increasing oil and gas production and reducing CO2 emission in Asia.
Pertamina of Indonesia has conduct research and pilot projects for HnP CO2 EGR and EOR for several times kindly sharing the experiences and sharing a collaborative opportunity for promoting CCUS in Asia.
The conference will promote knowledge-sharing on the HnP CCUS technology, challenges and opportunities and the policy and regulation needed to support its massive deployment. It is co-hosted by ACN and Pertamina. It will include presentation of the Pertamina experiences in preparing suitable fields, decision to implement HnP technology and lesson learned in its endeavor, and potential collaboration may arise.
