Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods Producing Reserves Enhanced Oil Recovery Methods improve sweep efficiency by reducing the mobility ratio between injected and in-place fluids, eliminate or reduce the capillary and interfacial forces and thus improve displacement efficiency, and act on both phenomenon simultaneously. Chemical Methods Miscible Methods Thermal Methods
Table 1 – Methods and Enhanced Recovery
Producing Reserves Oil Recovery Factor 5-10% Tight oil reservoirs, slightly fractured or heavy oil reservoirs 10-25% Oil reservoirs produced mainly by solution gas drive 25-40% Oil reservoirs producing under partial water drive, gas injection, or gravity drainage 40-55% Oil reservoirs produced by conventional waterflood
