EOR

More EOR now means that the decline rate for old fields will accelerate in later years compared with what it would be without near term EOR efforts.

And even the large OPEC producers such as Kuwait have started to turn to EOR technology as they seek to develop more complex heavy-crude reservoirs on which they will have to rely for future production growth.

EOR techniques have been in use since the 1970s, when they mostly involved injecting seawater into reservoirs in order to maintain pressure and squeeze more oil from the porous, sponge-like rock where it is deposited.

However, while Middle East producers are starting to take a closer look at EOR, many are handicapped by the reliance of the technology on gas, which is sometimes used as an injecting agent and sometimes burned to generate steam for injection.

As a result, more Gulf countries are exploring the use of enhanced oil recovery, or EOR, a collection of technologies that coaxes substantially more oil from the ground by injecting steam, gas and chemicals deep below the surface.
