After polymer flooding, substantial oil and residual polymers remain in reservoirs, leading to
plugging and reduced recovery. MEOR (Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery) aims to release …

Polymers increase the macroscopic efficiency of the flooding process and increase crude oil
recovery. The viscosity of 3 polymers xanthan, guar, and Arabic gums is measured in the lab …

Reservoirs producing heavy crude oil (gravities< 20) pose serious production challenges
due to oil's highly viscous nature. The risks of optimizing oil production from these reserves …

Primary oil recovery is the first stage of hydrocarbon production in which a reservoir uses its
natural energy to force hydrocarbon to its wellbore. Secondary oil recovery comes to play …

Thin oil rim are reservoirs with hydrocarbon pay zone not more than 100 ft. Production
challenges mainly water, and gas coning arises due to this trait and presence of a larger gas …

Oil rim reservoirs with very large gas caps, strong aquifers, and pay thickness below 30 ft.
pose oil production challenges to operators. With best operational practices, very high gas …

Gas cap blow down strategy is normally deployed for Ultra-thin oil rim reservoirs with huge
gas caps due to extremely high gas oil ratios from wells in such reservoirs. The current state …

Foam consists of a mixture of water loaded with surfactant and gas. Injected into the porous
medium, foam has many useful properties for soil remediation. The properties of surfactants …

Surfactant flooding is adjudged one of the most promising chemicals enhanced oil recovery
(cEOR) methods due to its high microscopic sweep efficiency. This surfactant shows high …
