Research programs from NIPER (National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research) are briefly described. 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 methodology; three-phase relative permeability; thermal processes for light oil recovery; thermal processes for heavy oil recover; imaging techniques applied to the study of fluids in porous media; microbial enhanced waterflooding field project; 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; and identification of cross-formational flow in multi-reservoir system using isotopic techniques (Phase 1). References, figures, and tables are included in each separate section.
