EEOR in Carbonate Reservoirs
By Mohammed Haroun, George V. Chilingar, Arsalan Ansari* and
Nabeela Al Kindy*
4.1 Introduction
This chapter is presented to show that EEOR is not only applicable to sand-
stone but also to carbonate reservoirs. Numerous experiments were con-
ducted in one of the most active electrokinetics laboratories by the principal
author on numerous carbonate reservoir cores from Abu Dhabi producing
oilfields. Haroun et al. (2009ab, 2012ab, 2013) published numerous papers
on the subject.
Research on EEOR in carbonates is continuing at the University
Research Center of the Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi. The first onshore
pilot test in a carbonate reservoir in Abu Dhabi will also be made in the
near future under the supervision of the authors.
