Enhanced Oil Recovery

Enhanced Oil Recovery is a tertiary crude oil extraction method that increases the recovery of residual oil by altering the physical or chemical properties of crude oil and reservoir rock through injection of thermal energy, gases, or chemical additives, thereby achieving higher recovery factors than primary and secondary production methods.
