 Upscaling W.r.t. simulator, or gravity dominated process

 Exploitation of marginal reservoirs  

2b

 Transition zones, thick and extensive with considerable resources in place Pc, imbibition

2b

 Residual Oil Saturation Methods to exploit, or describe in model

2b

 Re-injection of produced water, or downhole separation  

3

 Gas condensate Liquid drop-out, wettability change to "gas wet"

3

 CO2 as EOR medium or for deposition of "Kyoto problem" Depends on CO2 supplied from polluted air cleanup onshore, affordable treatment of subsequently CO2 polluted gas from the field

3

 Air injection in sand fm. Creates CO2, N2, steam flooding and almost complete evaporation of HC

3

 Water shut-off Gel or foam, stability at reservoir conditions  

3

 Advanced wells As related to e.g. thin oil zones, marginal resources. Overlap with Advanced wells working group.

The committee plans to have 2 workshops/seminars each year.

FORCE members that wants to participate in planning any of the suggested activities are welcome and may contact the committees directly or contact the Secretariat.
