EOR/IOR

Acting director of the new center Ale Hakala outlines the research priorities guiding the newly established center’s focus on production enhancement technologies.

Cella’s approach borrows established EOR practices to mineralize pure‑phase CO2 in basalt rocks while reducing water requirements.

The country’s foreign investment bid comes as Sonatrach launches its largest capital expenditure outlay—$60 billion to be spent from 2026 to 2030.

The award comes as a contract release purchase order under a long-term agreement that simplifies ongoing efforts to maintain mature field production in Saudi Arabia.

Even as output hits record highs, a growing recognition of the Permian’s maturity is opening the door for new technologies to improve performance.

The objective of this microfluidic investigation is to identify and test two novel applications for magnetic fluids in porous media for subsurface oilfield applications.

This paper describes a study to design and implement an enhanced oil recovery project via huff ’n’ puff using Y-grade injectant.

This study compares water-based chemicals including surfactants, nanoparticles, and ketones that can be used for enhancing the oil recovery of shale-oil reservoirs.

In a study that applied alternative carbon carrier technology to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scenarios, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin found that the new method recovered up to 19.5% more oil and stored up to 17.5% more carbon than conventional EOR methods.

This paper discusses the effect of injected-polymer viscosity on various aspects of a project, from recovery to surface facilities, including both theoretical arguments and practical field experience—which do not always align.
