Enhanced_Oil_Recovery

Enhanced Oil Recovery is developed primarily to offer assistance to petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, researchers, drilling engineers, petroleum production engineers, petrophysicists, completion engineers, students (undergraduates, postgraduates, etc.), and other oil and gas professionals interested in enriching themselves with knowledge about Enhanced Oil Recovery processes.

Enhanced Oil Recovery sometimes called tertiary oil recovery is a recovery mechanism that involves injecting a fluid other than water into the petroleum reservoir to maximize oil recovery beyond primary or secondary recovery processes.

It is estimated that global average field recovery from primary and secondary recoveries is currently around 35% leaving roughly 65% of the original oil in place in the reservoir. This is a huge opportunity for enhanced oil recovery.

Enhanced Oil Recovery gives great insights into the implementation or application of enhanced oil recovery methods.

*MAIN OBJECTIVES OF ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY*

• To maximize oil recovery beyond primary or secondary recovery processes
• To maintain reservoir pressure
• To energize the system
• To reduce, or better eliminate capillary forces
• To improve spatial sweep
