A common method of extracting oil by injecting large amounts of water into old wells is coming under scrutiny by Michigan environmental groups. The technique, known as water flooding, has been around ...

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are critical in optimising extraction from mature fields while addressing environmental concerns. One promising approach is carbonated water injection (CWI), in ...

A new method for enhanced oil recovery proposed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin is showing promising results in modeling studies—producing more oil, storing more carbon, and doing ...

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Enhanced Oil Recovery Market, 2012-2022" report to their offering. The global market of enhanced oil recovery is anticipated to cross $11 ...

When California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to ban hydraulic fracturing, a highly controversial method of oil and gas production more widely known as fracking, he focused primarily on climate ...

Unconventional reservoirs typically yield less than 10% oil recovery. In the Permian basin, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes include CO 2 injection, huff and puff, water injection, and, to a lesser ...

Texas has experienced over 100 earthquakes in just nine days, an unusual occurrence for a seismically inactive region. Experts attribute the earthquakes to oil and gas extraction activities, primarily ...

A simple figure from the study demonstrating the process of enhanced oil recovery with slugs of a formate solution and carbon dioxide. The formate solution is an alternative carbon carrier proposed by ...
