Cairn India starts polymer injection in its Mangala field in Rajasthan

01 Nov 2014 Evaluate

Cairn India, one of the largest independent oil and gas E&P companies in India, has started polymer injection at the Mangala field in state of Rajasthan. Mangala Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project, which is amongst the largest polymer flood EOR programmes in the world, commences well ahead of the guidance provided by the company. The polymer injection activity would gradually be ramped up.

The company had recognized the potential for chemical EOR at an early stage of development in its Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya (MBA) fields. The reservoir quality, oil properties and ambient temperature make these fields ideal for the application of chemical flooding EOR methods such as polymer or alkaline surfactant polymer (ASP) flooding. The chemical EOR programme has a potential to enhance recoveries from the Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya fields by around 300 mmbbls.

The Mangala ASP pilot programme, the next phase of EOR has also yielded excellent results so far, suggesting better mobilization of oil post polymer flooding.
