Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques helps to recover residue oil after Primary and secondary recovery of reservoir. This paper deals with a new Carbon Di Oxide (CO 2 ) EOR technique, "HOT CO 2 ?? which includes combination of thermal and solvent techniques where miscibility and viscosity reduction are primary concern.

U.S. is its oil reserves combined with its ability to apply and advance technology for oil production. It is this combination that has resulted in the U.S. leading the world in Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO 2 EOR). CO 2 EOR is an important component of U.S. oil production, accounting for nearly 6% of U.S. 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%. “ Carbon Dioxide’s Growing Use in Enhanced Oil Recovery ,” CryoGas International Magazine, Vol. 42, No. 8, Aug/Sep 2004, pp 48-57. Stranded Oil in the Residual Oil Zone, USDOE Publication dated Feb ’06 (on the origins of residual oil zones) 91 Pages (PDF) Not every oil field is suitable for CO2 EOR. Cross-section illustrating how carbon dioxide and water can be used to flush residual oil from a subsurface rock formation between wells. Crude oil development and production in U.S. oil reservoirs can include up to three distinct phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary (or enhanced) recovery. What is Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)? Over time, as oil is extracted from underground reservoirs, these reservoirs lose pressure, making it more and more difficult to extract the remaining oil in the reservoir. One way to counteract this decrease in pressure is to inject a fluid -- commonly CO2 -- into the oil reservoir to… U.S. is its oil reserves combined with its ability to apply and advance technology for oil production.
