Wickstrom. In terms of the international petroleum 27 Sep 2019 Any technique applied after secondary recovery is considered tertiary recovery ( Lake et al., 2014). EOR is often considered a tertiary phase of Enhanced oil recovery consists of three major methods which are miscible Method, thermal method and chemical method. Polymer Lake, Larry W (1989).
Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR), also called tertiary recovery, is the extraction of Walsh, Mark; Larry W. Lake (2003). A generalized approach to He is recognized for his expertise in reservoir engineering, enhanced oil recovery, reservoir characterization and geochemical modeling. Dr. Lake has been A revision of the 1989 classic, Enhanced Oil Recovery by Larry Lake, this text, Fundamentals of Enhanced Oil Recovery, retains the original work's emphasis on Lake is a professor of the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and director of the Enhanced Oil Recovery
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is… • Oil recovery by injection of fluids not normally present in reservoir • Excludes pressure maintenance or waterflooding • Not necessarily tertiary recovery. Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) is… • EOR plus additional technologies dealing with drilling, production, operations, and reservoir characterization • Lake, Larry W. 1989, Enhanced oil recovery / Larry W.

Enhanced oil recovery (abbreviated EOR ), also called tertiary recovery, is the extraction of crude oil from an oil field that cannot be extracted otherwise. EOR can extract 30% to 60% or more of a reservoir's oil, compared to 20% to 40% using primary and secondary recovery. Characteristics of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Projects Considered a “tertiary” process: typically applied after waterflooding Incremental recoveries due to CO2 can range from 8% to18% with an average of 12%. Critical issue: need inexpensive source of CO2. This has historically been an issue in California. In the steam zone the oil evaporates and in the hot water zone the oil expands. As a result, the oil expands, the viscosity drops and the permeability increases. To ensure success, the process has to be cyclical. This is the principal enhanced oil recovery program in use today. Enhanced Oil Recovery. Larry Lake (larry_lake@mail.utexas.edu) is the Program Manager of the Enhanced Oil Recovery research program. The focus of the Enhanced Oil Recovery program is on techniques that offer prospects for ultimately producing 25 to 50 percent, or more, of a reservoir's original oil in place.
