An overview of what is thought to be the most extensive enhanced oil recovery study ever accomplished is discussed. Eighty-six persons from thirty-four companies worked over a period of seventeen months to develop a document that indicates the direction that Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) might take for the next three decades. Projected production, based on both implemented and advanced technology, is presented to show the effect of changes in price of crude and minimum ROR requirements. The study indicates that EOR could increase by approximately 40 percent the current domestic crude reserves. It also indicated that the ultimate recovery and the projected producing rates of EOR projects are highly sensitive to changes in crude oil prices.
