Advances in EOR 2: Laboratory, Modeling and Field Deployment

Friday, 23 October
Room 371 CF
Technical Session
This session highlights recent advancements in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) strategies focused on polymer, low-salinity waterflooding, and CO2-based processes, with an emphasis on both technical performance and practical deployment. The session focuses on the roles of these EOR methods from laboratory to field-pilot application in diverse reservoir environments.  These contributions highlight cost-effective and technically promising techniques towards improving recovery efficiency.
