  • Chemical EOR materials database architecture and method for screening EOR materials
    Patent number: 10719782
    Abstract: A method includes: performing a machine learning process using information for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) materials to be used for an EOR process on a defined oil reservoir; determining EOR materials suitable for a condition of the oil reservoir; listing the EOR materials; and outputting an indication of the EOR materials. The materials comprise a first complex fluid to be introduced into the oil reservoir. Determining the EOR materials suitable for the condition is based on similarities between a first set of vector values for the first complex fluid, a second set of vector values for a second complex fluid already in the oil reservoir, and geological data, each of the vector values of the first set being defined by parameters of the first complex fluid and each of the vector values of the second set being defined by parameters of the second complex fluid and the geological data.
