Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Solutions

Understanding Water Injection and its Implication in EOR

As opposed to recovering oil naturally from a producing well, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) refers to the use of additional engineering techniques to improve and increase the amount of recovered oil. Primary EOR methods include chemical injection, gas injection, steam injection, thermal injection, and more. While the use of gas injection accounts for about 60% … Continued

The Role of EOR Techniques in Revitalizing Mature Oil Fields

Mature oil fields are fields with production rates that have significantly declined from what they once were. They’ve reached their peak. Many mature fields have old wells and equipment, some with infrastructures that have an above-average risk of environmental or safety issues. Are these oil fields done? Not necessarily. There are, in fact, many methods … Continued

The Birth of EOR: How CO2 Gas Works to Rise Oil Recovery Rates

The oil industry has devised a method using CO2 gas (Carbon Dioxide) to improve oil recovery rates. Known as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), the practical technique uses CO2 gas and then stores it underground. The method has shown great results when used in improving oil recovery rates and prolonging how long mature oil fields can … Continued

How Nanofluids Can be Used With Success In Enhanced Oil Recovery

When it comes to gas and oil production, finding new reservoirs has become increasingly difficult. As a result, the petroleum industry is refocusing its efforts on ways to maximize the production of existing reservoirs. New, more efficient ways of extracting additional hydrocarbons from reservoirs currently in production are being devised. One of the most promising … Continued

Guide to Ultrafiltration Systems and the Processes Behind Them

Water is our most important resource. With so many industries consuming high volumes of water or producing highly toxic sewage, ultrafiltration is more important than ever. Used in wastewater treatment, ultrafiltration (UF) mechanisms are utilized to reclaim and reuse water that holds practically no physical solids. The following is a guide to ultrafiltration systems, what … Continued

Difference Between Traditional and EOR Methods for Oil Extraction

Oil extraction has been evolving for years. The latest method of enhanced oil recovery is taking oil extraction to a new level. So what makes EOR methods of oil extraction better than traditional methods like drilling? Enhanced oil recovery techniques remove a much higher percentage of oil from the earth, bringing down cost while increasing … Continued

An Overview of Steam Injection Processes and its Uses for EOR

Different industries have solely relied on oil to drive the wheels of the various machinery. The demand for oil has increased. In 2018, the daily consumption of oil has reached 99 million barrels. So how can oil producers meet the increasing demand? Oil production process consists of three phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary phases. But … Continued

How Enhanced Oil Recovery Benefits the Economy and the Job Market

Enhanced oil recovery (or EOR) – also known as tertiary recovery – is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot otherwise be extracted, and the process can extract 30 to 60-percent or more of a reservoir’s oil compared to 20 to 40-percent when utilizing primary and secondary recovery methods. According to … Continued

Thermal Oil Recovery: Current State and Future Prospects

Once a well has produced what it can via primary and secondary withdrawal methods, it’s time to move to enhanced oil recovery solutions and methods. This method also gets referred to as tertiary recovery methods and using them extracts between 30 to 60 percent of a reservoir’s original oil in place. Enhanced Oil Recovery Move … Continued
