Hydrocarbon Recovery

Hydrocarbon recovery is the process of extracting oil and natural gas from underground reservoirs. It involves drilling wells and using various techniques to bring these fuels to the surface for use. Initially, natural pressure pushes hydrocarbons out, but as pressure decreases, additional methods like injecting water, steam, or chemicals may be used to improve flow. Recovery methods are chosen based on reservoir characteristics to maximize the amount of hydrocarbons extracted efficiently and sustainably. Overall, hydrocarbon recovery is essential for supplying energy, enabling industries, and supporting modern life.
