Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company, ADMA-OPCO, and British Petroleum, BP, have signed agreement to develop a new technology for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).
Signed during a recent visit by ADMA-OPCP officials to BP in UK, the new agreement for performing a Carbonate Ionic Design EOR study developing a technology similar to the LoSal EOR technology, which BP is deploying at the Offshore UK Clair Ridge field but applied to carbonate reservoirs, “will be a significant step forward,” said ADMA-OPCO in a press release.
“Under the agreement, BP will provide support to ADMA-OPCO in conducting a Single Well Chemical Tracer Test, SWCTT, and carrying out laboratory tests to evaluate Carbonate Ionic Design EOR potential in ADMA-OPCO’s fields.”
EOR has been identified as a key technology for improving recovery. BP is also leading other key projects on behalf of ADMA-OPCO including the rebuilding of reservoir models. More than 30 of BP’s technical experts are seconded into ADMA-OPCO.
