A Comprehensive Analysis of Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods Report

This report provides an overview of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods, examining various techniques used to increase oil production. The report discusses primary, secondary, and tertiary stages of oil recovery, highlighting the importance of EOR in the energy sector. It analyzes several articles and chapters from different sources, including Springer and ScienceDirect, focusing on chemical applications like surfactant-polymer and micellar injection, polymer flooding, and caustic flooding. The analysis includes research papers from Britain and the US, addressing the challenges and advancements in EOR, emphasizing the use of chemicals and gases. The report further explores the development and increased use of EOR techniques, and their role in addressing the limitations of conventional oil recovery methods, with a focus on heavy oil reservoirs. The provided references offer insights into the evolution and current state of EOR technologies.

An overview of chemical
enhanced oil recovery: recent
advances and prospects
Switzerland. 2020 The present article is based on
oil and gas resources and this
is the world’s major
contributor in the energy
supply. with the article it was
found that the process of oil
recovery and the major three
stages were primary,
secondary and tertiary. Further
after the application of the
primary and secondary oil
recovery techniques and tow
third of the original oil in
place (OOIP).
Enhanced oil recovery 2015 The current article stated the
issues relating to the enhanced
oil recovery and the special
chemical that are used.
Approximately 60- 70 % of
the oil prices cannot be made
as per the conventional
method. it was found that
EOR methods are gaining
more of the importance and
this includes use of different
chemical and gases.
Chapter one enhanced oil
recovery
1987 This chapter highlighted the
enhanced oil recovery
techniques have developed

and increased. Under this
article it was found that the
chemical process and this
includes surfactant- polymer
and the micellar injection and
polymer flooding and cautic
flooding.
Oil recovery 2004 With this article it was found
that oil and gas recovery are
critical to the energy need and
the world energy consumption
includes five major energy
sources.
Enhanced oil recovery- an
overview
2007 With this article it was seen
that heavy oil reservoir
worldwide after the
conventional recovery
methods. this included the
Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) and the Improved Oil
Recovery (IOR).
