Enhanced Oil Recovery/ Mission Oriented Research (EOR MOR)

EOR MOR General

Enhanced Oil Recovery is defined by EOR experts as any method that increases oil production by using techniques or materials that are not part of normal pressure maintenance or waterflooding operations. The multidisciplinary EOR MOR group follows this definition in research carried out by its team members. The main research areas are "Reservoir Rock and Fluid Characterization for EOR Applications", "Chemically Enhanced EOR","WAG Injection",  "Nano and other nonconventional EOR" and "Thermal EOR". The team gives priority to enhancement of WAG applications by implementing modified chemicals synthesized from local sources and nano materials developed by UTP researchers.

To be the Center of Reference for Enhanced Oil Recovery in 2020 by

• Becoming partner of choice worldwide in EOR R&D

• Being recognised as leading R&D institution on advanced EOR Agents

• Being acknowledged as experts in Reservoir Modeling and Characterisation for EOR applications

EOR MOR Aspiration

Develop EOR methods by 2020 to increase Recovery Factor to 80% when utilized.

EOR MOR Research Areas

• Reservoir Rock and Fluid Characterization for EOR Applications
• Chemically Enhanced EOR
• WAG Implementation
• Nano and other unconventional EOR
• Thermal EOR
