Enhanced Oil & Gas Recovery

Primary, secondary, and tertiary oil production are the three stages of oil production (also known as Enhanced Oil Recovery) (EOR). Thermal, chemical, and fluid phase behaviors effects are used in EOR processes to diminish or remove capillary forces that trap oil within pores, thin the oil or otherwise improve its mobility, and change the mobility of the displacing fluids. Enhanced oil recovery is a prominent branch of petroleum engineering that deals with applying physics to improve the oil recovery of petroleum reservoirs using various strategies. Enhanced oil recovery entails injecting things into the reservoir that aren't normally there, such as CO2, steam, or chemicals. After initial production or waterflooding, EOR can begin.
