One of the major obstacles considering ecology is sour gas, which accompanies natural gas in almost half of all producing reserves in the world. The major oilfields in North Caspian Sea Region all produce high concentration ...
Salimova, Rashida(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-07)
Maximizing crude oil recovery is a main objective of the oil and gas industry. Oil recovery by natural production in carbonates is usually lower than 30%. Thus, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are used to increase the ...
Shakeel, Mariam(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-07)
Fast depletion in oil reserves has steered the petroleum industry towards developing novel enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to get the most out of reservoirs. The standalone EOR methods such as engineered water ...
Bekpayev, Ilyas(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-07)
One of the most applied Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) techniques is polymer flooding, which uses polymer solutions to increase the viscosity of the displacing water and enhance mobility control and sweep efficiency. ...
Abulkhair, Sultan(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-05-01)
The modern mining industry employs plenty of exploration data digitization and utilizes
computational resources for future forecasting and production scheduling. In that regard,
geostatistics and mine planning as disciplines ...
Kushekov, Ruslan(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-05-03)
In the context of the ending lifetime of the fields and unstable oil prices, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are particularly relevant. After primary recovery, waterflooding is the most common and economical practice ...
Zhangaliyev, Medet(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-05-07)
Currently, there have been a surge in evaluating effectiveness of various hybrid enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods as it combines benefits of standalone processes. This study focuses on laboratory investigation to evaluate ...

Samanova, Aida(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2021-04)
Carbonate reservoirs account for over 50% of the world’s conventional hydrocarbon reserves. Waterflooding is considered as principle IOR method in carbonates, worldwide. However, the performance of conventional waterflooding ...
Bazhanova, Meruyet(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2020-04-15)
Most carbonate reservoirs in the Caspian Sea region are heterogeneous and oil wet. The
utilization of conventional water flooding does not usually result in significant incremental oil recoveries. Tuning the salinity and ...
Sarsenova, Adel(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2020)
Nowadays, different technologies, such as waterflooding, gas flooding, in-situ combustion and other technologies are implemented for improving oil recovery. Despite the fact that waterflooding is the most common method for ...
Karimov, Damir(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2020)
Nowadays, different studies were conducted to design new methods to improve oil recovery efficiency. The study focuses on experimental work to evaluate synergy between low salinity water and polymer flooding in carbonate ...
Sekerbayeva, Aigerim(Nazarbayev University School of Mining and Geosciences, 2020-04-15)
The objective of the current study is to design a novel hybrid enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method by combining low salinity water (LSW) and low salinity surfactant (LSS) flooding techniques. Alteration in salinity and ions ...
