EOR Screening in Kuala Lumpur

KEMISIM supports operators and service companies running EOR screening programs in Kuala Lumpur 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 Kuala Lumpur, the technique is shaped by offshore Malay Basin clastics, Sarawak carbonate gas, high-CO2 reservoirs and late-life marginal fields — and by the completion practice and service-company spreads available out of Malaysia.

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 Kuala Lumpur can engage KEMISIM remotely or through on-site engineering support, with project delivery aligned to local operator workflows and PETRONAS Procedures & Guidelines for Upstream Activities (PPGUA), MPM licensing and PETRONAS technical standards.

EOR Screening conditions in the Kuala Lumpur market

Kuala Lumpur hosts PETRONAS and the PSC operators running Malaysia's offshore Malay, Sarawak and Sabah basins. High-CO2 gas and late-life marginal fields put cement integrity, CO2-resistant slurry design and low-cost intervention planning at the centre of engineering spend. KEMISIM's engineering team has supported EOR screening projects across Asia Pacific and structures every engagement around defensible, audit-ready engineering.

  • Operators and contractors active here: PETRONAS Carigali, Hibiscus Petroleum, EnQuest Malaysia, Shell Malaysia, Vestigo Petroleum
  • Dominant reservoir setting: offshore Malay Basin clastics, Sarawak carbonate gas, high-CO2 reservoirs and late-life marginal fields
  • Regulatory and contracting context: PETRONAS Procedures & Guidelines for Upstream Activities (PPGUA), MPM licensing and PETRONAS technical standards
  • Local engineering support in-region from the UAE, in English and Arabic

Frequently asked questions

Do you support EOR screening projects for operators in Kuala Lumpur?+

Yes. KEMISIM works with operators and service companies in Kuala Lumpur — including teams supporting PETRONAS Carigali, Hibiscus Petroleum, EnQuest Malaysia — delivering design, training and post-job evaluation for EOR screening programs.

How does Kuala Lumpur reservoir type change the EOR screening workflow?+

High-CO2 gas and late-life marginal fields put cement integrity, CO2-resistant slurry design and low-cost intervention planning at the centre of engineering spend. KEMISIM models that behaviour explicitly rather than relying on generic correlations, so designs reflect offshore Malay Basin clastics, Sarawak carbonate gas, high-CO2 reservoirs and late-life marginal fields.

Does KEMISIM output meet Malaysia regulatory and contracting requirements?+

Every design produces auditable, assumption-traceable engineering output suitable for review under PETRONAS Procedures & Guidelines for Upstream Activities (PPGUA), MPM licensing and PETRONAS technical standards.

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

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 Kuala Lumpur?+

Yes. KEMISIM provides on-site engineering and training in Kuala Lumpur and across Asia Pacific as part of larger engagements.
