EOR methods

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods are techniques used to extract additional oil from underground reservoirs after primary and secondary recovery methods have been exhausted. These methods include injecting substances like water, steam, chemicals, or gases into the reservoir to increase pressure or change the oil's properties, making it easier to flow to the production wells. EOR extends the life of oil fields, improves recovery rates, and maximizes the amount of oil extracted, all while considering environmental and economic factors to ensure efficient and responsible resource use.
