Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) Technology in Petroleum Industry

Oil recovery from reservoirs is a complex process influenced by various factors. Generally, only a portion of the total oil present in a reservoir can be extracted using primary recovery methods, typically ranging from 5% to 30%. This leaves a significant amount of oil untapped. However, through the application of advanced techniques such as Enhanced…
