EOR¤

Introduction¤

Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or tertiary recovery, is the method used to extract crude oil when primary and secondary recovery have already been used in an oil field. EOR with CO2 is based on the injection of CO2 into deep reservoir to increase oil production. CO2 reduces the viscosity of oil allowing to flow more easily toward the production well. During this process the CO2 becomes trapped in the rock and is permanently stored in the porous spaces.

ES Model Parameters¤

All the parameters concerning the EOR are listed in the table below.
