Workshop Overview

The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) and the National University of Colombia in Medellin (UNAL) have joined forces for the organization of the first EAGE Online Workshop on enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in Latin America. The event will be held in an online format, 26 -28 August 2020, and bring in experts to discuss new ideas, trends, and experiences covering all phases of an EOR project: research, planning, field implementation, and surveillance. 

As the existing oil fields mature and the petroleum industry strive for new oil resources, including the unconventionals, EOR methods have been gaining significant momentum globally. Colombia and the other oil producing Latin American countries are no exception to these trends. The workshop will offer new fundamental and practical insights into the EOR methods and provide first-hand experience from successful operators, service companies, government representatives and academia. There is value to be unlocked in every aspect of an EOR project.
