Phillips EOR projects in Oklahoma

Phillips has studied many enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods to increase oil production. All of the major EOR methods have been field tested except microbial oil recovery which has been studied in the laboratory. Phillips EOR field tests in Oklahoma include something old and something new. The old is the Burbank field which was discovered in 1920. Since then this tenacious deposit has been flooded by gas, water, steam, surfactant, and polymer and still manages to retain more than half of the original oil in place. The new is the Binger Field that was discovered in 1971. Rapid production declines indicated that only 11 percent of the original oil in place would be produced by primary pressure depletion. The field was unitized in 1977 and a field wide flue gas flood was started that is expected to increase oil recovery to 27 percent of the original oil in place.
