Atacan Energy prepares enhanced recovery studies and feasibility
reports that include design of fluid injection projects, horizontal
drilling studies and thermal recovery evaluation. Atacan Energy
evaluates and designs various miscible CO2 flood projects and
evaluates CO2 source fields. This includes estimating reserves,
evaluating reservoir performance and infill drilling results,
reviewing surface facility design for CO2 re-injection compression
projects, optimizing CO2 flood management and calculating cashflow
economics.
Atacan Energy also designs thermally enhanced recovery methods. We
recommend grid size, well spacing, patterns and sensitivity studies
of pertinent parameters, such as injection rates and temperature
profiles. We review both vertical and horizontal wellbores in
reservoirs with API gravities varying between 5 and 20 degrees to
devise cyclic or continuous steamflooding development plans. We also
design steam-assisted gravity drainage programs for heavy oil
production, and evaluate sensitivity to steam injection rates, soaks
and quality.
Atacan Energy also performs in-situ combustion EOR studies. In this
process, heavy oil components are coked and burned, creating a high
temperature combustion front surrounding the injection well that
migrates toward a production well.
