EOR Screening in Aberdeen

KEMISIM supports operators and service companies running EOR screening programs in Aberdeen with physics-based design software, training and engineering consulting.

What is eor screening?

EOR screening evaluates whether a candidate reservoir is technically and economically viable for chemical, gas, thermal or microbial enhanced oil recovery — using analogues, fluid-rock interaction physics and rapid economic ranking. For operators working in and around Aberdeen, the technique is shaped by late-life Brent, Forties and Chalk reservoirs with high water cut and extensive subsea tiebacks — and by the completion practice and service-company spreads available out of United Kingdom.

Benefits

  • Rank EOR options in days, not quarters
  • Avoid expensive pilots in unsuitable reservoirs
  • Capture analogue learnings from comparable fields
  • Quantify incremental recovery and CAPEX up front
  • Align asset team, finance and JV partners on a single ranking

Typical use cases

  • Mature waterflood asset review
  • Heavy-oil thermal screening
  • CO2 / hydrocarbon gas injection screening
  • Chemical (ASP, polymer, surfactant) pilot selection

The KEMISIM offering

KEMISIM EOR Screening Software combines analogue databases with physics-based screening to take asset teams from concept to ranked pilot candidates in a single workshop cycle. Teams based in Aberdeen can engage KEMISIM remotely or through on-site engineering support, with project delivery aligned to local operator workflows and North Sea Transition Authority stewardship expectations, OPRED environmental consents and OGUK well-integrity guidelines.

EOR Screening conditions in the Aberdeen market

Aberdeen anchors UK North Sea operations, with a mature operator base prioritizing intervention, P&A and late-life optimization. Late-life economics and expensive rig access mean scale-squeeze lifetime and rigless intervention design decide whether a well stays online at all. KEMISIM's engineering team has supported EOR screening projects across North Sea and structures every engagement around defensible, audit-ready engineering.

  • Operators and contractors active here: Harbour Energy, Ithaca Energy, TAQA UK, Serica Energy, NEO Energy
  • Dominant reservoir setting: late-life Brent, Forties and Chalk reservoirs with high water cut and extensive subsea tiebacks
  • Regulatory and contracting context: North Sea Transition Authority stewardship expectations, OPRED environmental consents and OGUK well-integrity guidelines
  • Local engineering support in-region from the UAE, in English and Arabic

Frequently asked questions

Do you support EOR screening projects for operators in Aberdeen?+

Yes. KEMISIM works with operators and service companies in Aberdeen — including teams supporting Harbour Energy, Ithaca Energy, TAQA UK — delivering design, training and post-job evaluation for EOR screening programs.

How does Aberdeen reservoir type change the EOR screening workflow?+

Late-life economics and expensive rig access mean scale-squeeze lifetime and rigless intervention design decide whether a well stays online at all. KEMISIM models that behaviour explicitly rather than relying on generic correlations, so designs reflect late-life Brent, Forties and Chalk reservoirs with high water cut and extensive subsea tiebacks.

Does KEMISIM output meet United Kingdom regulatory and contracting requirements?+

Every design produces auditable, assumption-traceable engineering output suitable for review under North Sea Transition Authority stewardship expectations, OPRED environmental consents and OGUK well-integrity guidelines.

How quickly can we run a pilot EOR screening design in Aberdeen?+

A typical pilot design — covering one well and one scenario — can be delivered within 2–4 weeks of receiving the data package.

Is on-site engineering support available in Aberdeen?+

Yes. KEMISIM provides on-site engineering and training in Aberdeen and across North Sea as part of larger engagements.
