OSTI ID:7333480
The recent changes in availability and the world market price for crude oil have caused the petroleum industry to reevaluate some of the newer, more complicated recovery methods. This report describes three enhanced oil-recovery methods: improved fluid injection, thermal recovery, and miscible-fluid displacement. The principles of each method and the kinds of reservoirs for which they are designed to work are discussed.
