Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) refers to a variety of techniques used to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil field, especially after the primary and secondary recovery methods have been exhausted.
The primary types of EOR techniques include thermal recovery, gas injection, and chemical injection. Each method uses different mechanisms to increase oil mobility and extraction.
The suitability of EOR for a reservoir is determined through detailed reservoir characterization and feasibility studies, which evaluate reservoir properties, fluid dynamics, and economic factors.
EOR techniques can significantly increase the amount of recoverable oil, extending the life of oil fields, and improving overall production efficiency, which can lead to substantial economic benefits.
