Applying the methods of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for oil and gas fields has always many risks of economic and technology because EOR projects are influenced by many characteristic factors of the reservoir such as structure of reservoir, reservoir formation, geological properties, parameters of reservoir engineering, production technology to EOR application. Some EOR methods have been successfully applied in the world, but when these methods conduct in specific reservoir with different geological characteristics, tight production conditions have resulted in failures and ineffective economic, even caused dreadful aftermath to be handled in operations. Researches, evaluations and EOR applications in Vietnam are limited and only carried out on a laboratory scale. Therefore, the ability to be applied the EOR modern technology with a large scale or full field still faces many difficulties and the feasibility of projects is not high enough. The authors have been analysed all EOR projects successfully that applied many oil and gas fields in the world and then building EOR database. Based on EOR database, a study has been conducted on statistical analysis to build EOR screening criteria for reservoir parameters from past to now. The study also combined in-depth analysis algorithms such as Fuzzy, K - mean, PCA Artificial Intelligence to screen the optimal EOR method for sandstone reservoirs of Cuu Long Basin.

Sub Sea Isolation Valves (SSIVs) are normally considered for installation on the majority of facility builds. They first started coming to prominence in the world of safety following the Piper Alpha tragedy in 1988, where 167 people died and the platform was destroyed as a result of an explosion and fire. The aim of SSIVs is to protect the people on the platforms by limiting the amount of hydrocarbon available for a jet fire. Reducing the severity of a jet fire protects the integrity of manned living quarters in the event of an issue with the pipeline. This theory still holds true today but twenty plus years on SSIVs are not always included in new facility designs. Oil and gas fields developed in the future are more likely to be in more remote locations with large diameter pipelines tied back to onshore processing facilities. With well bays being replaced by subsea wells and flowlines it would be thought that the SSIV would now be man’s best friend; however, with the oil and gas industry showing a declining trend in fatalities around the world and with design improvements preventing and mitigating the occurrence of major accident events, many operators are questioning the added benefits of the SSIV. This paper debates the use of the SSIV and explores the issues over which many design teams deliberate. It considers the positives and the negatives associated with the SSIV and illustrates why an SSIV installation is a case-by-case prospect. A case study using a risk-based approach for installing the SSIV as part of a design concept is used to help illustrate this point.
