Abstract: Hydrocarbon production is an expensive operation, several techniques are applied to improve the production while minimizing the operational cost. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and well treatment techniques are utilized to maximize the hydrocarbon recovery using several types of injected chemicals. This paper presents new solutions to increase the hydrocarbon production using in-situ generation of surfactants and heat at reservoir condition. The presented techniques showed a very effective performance for increasing the oil recovery and decreasing the operational cost. The improvements in rock productivity ranges between 40 and 70, based on the rock type and the injected volume. A reduction of 30 could be achieved in the costs of hydrocarbon production or well treatment. The developed techniques can be applied for well stimulation as well as enhanced hydrocarbon recovery applications.
