General Description
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. EOR MOR group follows this definition in research carried out by its team members. The main research areas are Enhancement of Reservoir Rock and Fluid Characterization, EOR screening and modeling, New and Novel Technologies like nano-enhanced EOR and EOR Agent Injection. The team gives priority to enhancement of WAG applications by implementing modified chemicals synthesized from local sources and nano materials developed by UTP researchers.
