Bati Raman oil field, in southeast Turkey, represents Turkey's biggest single oil reserve. The rapid production decline of the field and increases in the price of crude oil has led Turkish Petroleum Corp. (TPAO) to consider intervening with EOR techniques. Since 1967, various recovery schemes have been attempted, including steam and water injection. Extensive laboratory, modeling, and comparative engineering studies of various immiscible CO/sub 2/ application techniques resulted. This paper presents the reservoir engineering aspects of immiscible CO/sub 2/ application as applied to Bati Raman oil field.
