What Does EOR Stand For?
EOR stands for Enhanced Oil Recovery
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) refers to a set of techniques used to increase the amount of crude oil that can be extracted from an oil reservoir beyond what is achievable through primary and secondary recovery methods. EOR methods include thermal injection, gas injection, and chemical flooding, which help to lower the viscosity of oil, increase reservoir pressure, and improve oil displacement. These techniques are essential in maximizing production from existing fields and extending the life of oil reservoirs, contributing to energy security and resource optimization.
