This report briefly describes research from the National Institute of Petroleum and Energy Research on enhanced recovery of petroleum. Topics include: reservoir assessment and characterization; TORIS research support; development of improved microbial flooding methods; development of improved surfactant flooding methods; development of improved alkaline flooding methods; development of improved mobility control methods; gas-miscible displacement; development of improved immiscible gas displacement metholodgy; three-phase relative permeability; thermal processes for light oil recovery; thermal processes for heavy oil recovery; imaging techniques applied to the study of fluids in porous media; microbial enhanced waterflooding field project; technical analysis for underground injection control; developing a reservoir data base: phase 1; EOR incentive projects survey; feasibility study of heavy oil recovery in the mid-continent region (Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri); IPRs for slanted and horizontal wells producing from heterogeneous reservoirs; surfactant-enhanced alkaline flooding field project; development of methods for mapping distribution of clays in petroleum reservoirs; identification of cross-formational flow in multi-reservoir systems using isotopic techniques (phase 1); summary of geological and production characteristics of class 1, unstructured, deltaic reservoirs; third international reservoir characterization technical conference; and research needs to maximize economic producibility of the domestic oil resource.
