Petroleum Industry
NECC has experts from American Universities and oil and gas industry to support, transfer technology, and conduct projects on the following topics
- Enhanced oil recovery such as CO2 EOR, WAG, thermal EOR, polymer flooding, etc.
- 2D and 3D geomechanics modeling
- Reservoir modeling
- Design for vertical, inclined and horizontal exploration and/or infill wells
- Production optimization
- Optimization for artificial lift methods such as gas lift, ESP, rod pump, etc.
CO2 Capture and Storage
NECC has strong connections with most of the well-known research centers on this topics such as the Petroleum Recovery Research Center in New Mexico, Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute at Wyoming University, Sandia National Lab, etc.
NECC can connect companies and government in Vietnam to experts in this area who have years in experience in working on this topic in the US to provide/transfer this technology to Vietnam.
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy is a renewable energy which comes from hot geological formations. Drilling technology from oil and gas industry can be used to drill into these formations to extract heat and bring it up to the surface. This heat source can be use to generate electric, provide energy for industrial manufactures, provide heat to buildings, etc.
NECC can work directly with experts in the US to provide/transfer/advise the current technology to companies and government in Vietnam.
Wind and Solar Energy
Wind and solar energy are considered as sustainable and renewable energy and these are the future energy for the world. The bottle neck to make these energies more reliable and more cost-effective is the energy storage. Wind and solar energy are highly affected by weather conditions during the day. These fluctuations in the power production affects not only the energy outputs but also the stability of the entire power grid.
NECC can connect companies in Vietnam with experts in the US to improve this instability in production power and make the power grid more reliable for the future to come.
