EOR Operations Underway at North Yaran Oilfield

Operations are underway to increase oil production at North Yaran Oilfield in the southern Khuzestan Province.
According to Shana, the Oil Ministry’s official news agency, as part of the plan to take advantage of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, an electric submersible pump (ESP), an efficient artificial-lift method for lifting moderate to high volumes of fluids from wellbores, was installed in one of North Yaran’s wells for the first time this week.
ESPs are quiet, safe and sanitary for operations in an offshore and environmentally sensitive area. They permit the use of minimum space for subsurface controls and associated production facilities.
