Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) remains a critical strategy for increasing output from maturing oil fields. Conventional primary and secondary extraction typically recover between 20–40% of original oil in place (OOIP). EOR techniques—thermal, gas injection, and chemical recovery—can improve recovery rates by an additional 10–30%, extending field life and boosting reserves. However, the economic feasibility of these methods requires a thoughtful cost-benefit analysis that considers implementation ex... moreEnhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) remains a critical strategy for increasing output from maturing oil fields.
