Oil Extraction Technologies

Oil extraction technologies involve methods used to access and remove crude oil from underground reservoirs. This includes drilling wells vertically or horizontally into oil-bearing formations, using pumps to bring the oil to the surface. Advanced techniques like hydraulic fracturing (fracking) create fractures in rock to release trapped oil, while enhanced oil recovery methods inject substances like water, steam, or chemicals to boost output. Monitoring and automation ensure efficiency and safety. These technologies enable the effective retrieval of oil from various geological conditions, supporting energy needs while minimizing environmental impact.
