  • Enhanced Oil Recovery

    Field Planning and Development Strategies

    by Vladimir Alvarado, Eduardo Manrique ...
    Enhanced-Oil Recovery (EOR) evaluations focused on asset acquisition or rejuvenation involve a combination of complex decisions, using different data sources. EOR projects have been traditionally associated with high CAPEX and OPEX, as well as high financial risk, which tend to limit the number of EOR projects launched. In this book, the authors propose workflows for EOR evaluations that account ... Read more
