ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY and WATER FLOODING

Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR) also called tertiary recovery is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot be extracted otherwise. EOR can extract 30% to 60% or more of a reservoir s oil. compared to 20% to 40% using primary and secondary recovery. According to the US Department of Energy carbon dioxide and water are injected along with one of three EOR techniques thermal injection gas injection and chemical injection. More advanced speculative EOR techniques are sometimes called quaternary recovery.This book provides structured information about EOR its classification factors it depends upon comparison between its types the design process of EOR Mechanistic model and the simulations along with a few worldwide projects as examples to help understand it better. The second part of the book contains information about Waterflooding A type of EOR and it involves injecting water into the reservoir formation to displace residual oil...
