  • Publication number: 20120241150
    Abstract: A method for producing oil from an underground formation comprising providing a first well in one or more formations, the first well comprising a plurality of sections along a length of the well; providing a second well in the formation; injecting an enhanced oil recovery formulation into at least a first section and a second section of the first well and into the formation; flowing the formulation and/or oil towards the second well in one or more formations; producing the formulation and/or oil from the second well; and then modifying the injecting into the second section, while continuing the injecting into the first section.

  • Patent number: 7672825
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling production of oil and/or gas from an underground reservoir by means of a closed loop production control system, in which: an assembly of monitoring sensors (4) monitor the physical properties of hydrocarbon and other fluids within the reservoir; a plurality of high order and/or low order mathematical reservoir models (5,7) calculate each an estimate of the physical properties of hydrocarbon and other fluids in the hydrocarbon containing formation and in the wells; the mathematical reservoir models (5,7) are iteratively updated in response to data provided by the assembly of sensors such that any difference between the properties monitored by the assembly of sensors and those calculated by each of the reservoir models is minimized; an optimal mathematical reservoir model (5,7) or an optimal combination thereof is selected during at least one updating step for which an averaged difference between the calculated properties and the properties monitored by the assembly of sens
