Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) involves advanced techniques used to extract additional crude oil from underground reservoirs after primary and secondary methods have been exhausted. These methods include injecting substances like water, steam, chemicals, or gases to increase pressure or alter the oil's properties, making it flow more easily to the production wells. EOR aims to maximize the amount of oil that can be recovered from a reservoir, improving efficiency and extending the productive life of oil fields. It is a critical part of the oil industry’s efforts to optimize resource extraction while addressing economic and environmental considerations.
