EOR Screening in Stavanger

KEMISIM supports operators and service companies running EOR screening programs in Stavanger 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 Stavanger, the technique is shaped by chalk reservoirs at Ekofisk and Valhall, Johan Sverdrup carbonate-clastic sequences and long-life IOR waterfloods — and by the completion practice and service-company spreads available out of Norway.

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 Stavanger can engage KEMISIM remotely or through on-site engineering support, with project delivery aligned to local operator workflows and Havtil (Petroleum Safety Authority) well-integrity regulation, NORSOK standards and Norwegian Offshore Directorate IOR reporting.

EOR Screening conditions in the Stavanger market

Stavanger is the corporate base for Equinor and many North Sea operators investing in well integrity and IOR/EOR. Norway's regulated IOR ambition and NORSOK integrity rules reward documented, physics-traceable design over vendor rules of thumb. 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: Equinor, Aker BP, Vår Energi, ConocoPhillips Norge
  • Dominant reservoir setting: chalk reservoirs at Ekofisk and Valhall, Johan Sverdrup carbonate-clastic sequences and long-life IOR waterfloods
  • Regulatory and contracting context: Havtil (Petroleum Safety Authority) well-integrity regulation, NORSOK standards and Norwegian Offshore Directorate IOR reporting
  • Local engineering support in-region from the UAE, in English and Arabic

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes. KEMISIM works with operators and service companies in Stavanger — including teams supporting Equinor, Aker BP, Vår Energi — delivering design, training and post-job evaluation for EOR screening programs.

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

Norway's regulated IOR ambition and NORSOK integrity rules reward documented, physics-traceable design over vendor rules of thumb. KEMISIM models that behaviour explicitly rather than relying on generic correlations, so designs reflect chalk reservoirs at Ekofisk and Valhall, Johan Sverdrup carbonate-clastic sequences and long-life IOR waterfloods.

Does KEMISIM output meet Norway regulatory and contracting requirements?+

Every design produces auditable, assumption-traceable engineering output suitable for review under Havtil (Petroleum Safety Authority) well-integrity regulation, NORSOK standards and Norwegian Offshore Directorate IOR reporting.

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

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 Stavanger?+

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