Polymer gels are increasingly being integrated into enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies to address the challenges posed by heterogeneity in mature reservoirs. Designed as cross‐linked polymer ...

Most Wyoming oil fields are aging and declining in production, so increasing production through enhanced oil recovery methods can have an important positive effect of Wyoming’s total oil production, ...

A new method for enhanced oil recovery proposed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin is showing promising results in modeling studies—producing more oil, storing more carbon, and doing ...

CASPER — The Wyoming Legislature’s Joint Minerals, Business and Economic Development Committee on Monday advanced a stimulus bill that could boost the state’s enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a production ...

In what may prove to be critical in revisiting older, depleted fields, Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) has proposed establishing an enhanced oil recovery and improved oil recovery ...

Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...

Every year, companies around the United States capture around 18 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from natural gas processing plants, oil refineries and power plants. As long as that CO2 — ...

The school filed suit against a Houston-based energy company it had partnered with to conduct enhanced oil recovery research.

A simple figure from the study demonstrating the process of enhanced oil recovery with slugs of a formate solution and carbon dioxide. The formate solution is an alternative carbon carrier proposed by ...
