3 1. DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGICAL PLANNING CENTER Development Research & Technological Planning Center (DRTPC) was created through research cooperation that coincided with the era of peace in 1977, responding to the initiative of the late President Anwar Sadat, between Cairo University and Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT), USA under its "Technology Development Program" and sponsored by the USAID in Egypt. The main objective of this cooperation was the establishment of a common research program that consisted of 14 national research projects undertaken between Cairo University, MIT and the relevant Egyptian Ministries, aiming at analysing, planning and managing the immediate development programs in Egypt at the time. The wider goal was to establish an institutional framework, in the form of a self autonomous independent research center under the name" "Development Research and Technological Planning Center (DRTPC)", that would take the lead in sustaining this initiative after termination of the above mentioned Program and Projects.. Although DRTPC was only formally founded in 1979, Cairo University/MIT Research Program with its 14 projects had already started in 1977, in temporary locations hosted in the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. It moved to its present location by the end of 1979, with the formal opening by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning taking place in January For the past 32 years, DRTPC has conducted hundreds of research projects, consulting studies and training contracts in the fields of transport planning and engineering, water resources, industry, energy, physical planning, telecommunications, environment, electrical power, public works, economy, management, sociology and public health. The number of contracted research of consulting projects reached 776 and the number of training courses reached 423 till the first quarter of DRTPC played an instrumental role in the development of national policies and institutional capacity building in these areas. It also organized numerous conferences, seminars, and workshops around these issues.

15 7. RECENT ACTIVITIES Project Title: A Technical Feasibility Study on Applying Surfactant Flooding to Isaraan Field Client: Scimitar Production Egypt Ltd. (SPEL) Year: August 2009 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques have been developed and applied to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from mature and mostly depleted oil fields. Of the many methods developed to improve oil recovery, two of these thermal and miscible gas or liquid injection EOR is, by far, the most widely employed. Using EOR, %, or more, of the reservoir's original oil can be extracted compared with 2040% using only primary recovery (pressure depletion) and secondary recovery (water flooding). Over the past twenty years, extensive research has been expanded to scrutinize the prospect of pertaining chemical EOR methods to a number of depleting oil fields; however, selecting the most appropriate method is not a simple task as it is very much dependent on the nature of the field under study. Some oil fields in Egypt have a very special geological nature; among these is Issaran oil field which resembles a unique case, worth investigation. EOR was applied to Issaran field from the very early start of production, without passing by the primary and secondary recovery phases, the matter which renders it an obviously unrepeated and significant case.

16 Owing to the intense concern of Scimitar Production, Egypt, Ltd. (SPEL) Company, the holder of Issaran oil field, to increase the oil recovery of the Field substantially and overcome the existing production difficulties, the Company has considered conducting an immediate pilot test to explore the opportunities of applying EOR, namely, injecting surfactants, along with steam injection currently applied. Accordingly, the Company assigned the Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Consultation (PPEC) Group Cairo University to submit a detailed technical and financial proposal for the study that should precede the intended pilot test. The chief purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of applying surfactant injection EOR to increase the productivity of the Field and set a comparison between available types of surfactants, aiming to select the most reliable type and determine the optimum conditions of application. The ultimate goal of this project is to study the applicability of surfactant-polymer injection to increase oil production in Issaran oil field under the existing conditions. In this project, effort is deliberately directed towards achieving the objectives summarized here under: Objectives: 1 Determining the most favourable surfactant/polymer solution, among the available types, to be used for the EOR application in Issaran Field 2 Investigating the behaviour of the surfactant solution/crude oil/brine system 3 Determining the optimum concentration of the injection solutions 4 Studying the effect of surfactant slug size, buffer slug size and buffer type on the oil recovery 5 Studying the effect the injection rate, salinity and temperature, at the optimum concentration of the most suitable surfactant/polymer on the oil recovery 6 Analyzing the mechanism by which surfactant/polymer fluids mobilize the residual oil under existing conditions for the field flooding 7 Depicting the necessary recommendations for field application.

17 Project Title: A Technical Feasibility Study on Applying Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery to Isaraan Field Client: Scimitar Production Egypt Ltd. (SPEL) Year: August 2009 Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) technology is the process of introducing or stimulating viable microorganisms in an oil reservoir for the purpose of enhancing oil recovery. Although several attempts have been made to describe the MEOR process, no experimental or theoretical model has yet fully incorporated all of the factors that strongly affect the mechanisms of oil displacement, growth and transport of bacteria in porous media. Over the past twenty years, extensive research has been expanded to scrutinize the prospect of pertaining MEOR methods to a number of depleting oil fields; however, selecting the most appropriate type of bacteria and its suitable nutrient is not a simple task, as it is very much dependent on the nature of the field under study and its geological, mineralogical, and physical properties. Some oil fields in Egypt have a very special geological nature; among these is Issaran Oil Field which resembles a unique case, worth investigation. Thermal EOR method, the cyclic steam injection, was applied to Issaran Field from the very early start of production, without passing by the primary and secondary recovery phases, the matter which renders it an obviously unrepeated and significant case. Owing to the intense concern of Scimitar Production, Egypt, Ltd. (SPEL) Company, the holder of Issaran Oil Field, to increase the oil recovery of the Field substantially and overcome the existing production difficulties, the Company has considered conducting an immediate pilot test to explore the opportunities of applying MEOR, i.e. mainly studying the possible application of bacteria in the enhancement of oil recovery along with steam injection currently applied. This is the main target of the present work.

18 Accordingly, the Company assigned the Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineering Consultation (PPEC) Group Cairo University to submit a detailed technical and financial proposal for the study mentioned above. The chief purpose of the study is to investigate the presence of bacteria in the producing zones of Issaran oil reservoir and to study the possibility of applying the MEOR technique, to increase the productivity of the Field and to determine the optimum conditions of application of such technique. Objectives: The characteristics of this field renders it a typical case for studying the possibility of applying bacteria in the enhancement of oil recovery; the main target of the present work. The objectives of the present study are summarized as follows: 1 Isolation, classification and characterization of the bacteria from the field rock/fluid system. 2 Determination of the optimum conditions for activating the bacteria in the reservoir rock/fluid system. 3 Carrying out core tests using the Field conditions to investigate the effectiveness of the isolated bacteria on the recovery. 4 Analysis of the obtained results to recommend the conditions of applying the intended pilot project exploring the possible application of bacteria in the enhancement of oil recovery along with steam injection currently applied in Issaran Oil Field. Project Title: A Study for Applying Water Flooding Project to Ferdaus Field Client: NORPETCO - Egypt Year: July 2009 The North Baharia Concession is located in the Western Desert approximately 130 km west of Cairo, Egypt.

19 Currently, PPEC Group is conducting a detailed feasibility study emphasizing the possibility of applying water flooding to increase the productivity of the field. The main objectives of the study are as follows: ¾ To define a geological model of the Field that can be used to improve reservoir management and understand reservoir behaviour ¾ To update the oil in place and recovery factors for the Field ¾ To determine the feasibility of conducting a pilot/complete water injection or dump flood project for further optimum recovery achievements ¾ To develop a plan to maximize efficient production from the Field while optimizing ultimate recovery in a practical timeframe. Project Title: Specialized Master in Petroleum Geophysics Client: Entreprise Tunisienne d'activités Pétrolières (ETAP) Year: June 2009 Further to a meeting held in Cairo University premises between the delegates of The Entreprise Tunisienne d'activités Pétrolières (ETAP) and the staff members of the Development Research and Technological Planning Center (DRTPC) -Cairo University, it was agreed to run a Specialized Master in Petroleum Geophysics.
